The game industry leaders themselves call us “Whales”

This is objectively true. Individual perception of an objective fact isn't necessarily important.

Apropos of nothing, the chocobo cart mount seems bland and uninteresting to me and I could not justify spending 35$ on it. As for my thoughts on the cash shop, I have bought a few things from it when I was feeling particularly "rich", a personal failing.

I agree with the majority of Cled-cat's points.
