lunar whale

[Malephyka]

how do you think about the prize of the lunar whale and the three pets in the mogstation??

[Stepjam]

What do you mean? Like what do we think about them being on mogstation?

I guess it doesn't bother me. Normally they would have come with the tickets for seeing the fanfest, but since everything has gone crazy, they are just going straight to mogstation instead. I do hope they eventually add an 8 seater mount to be obtained ingame, but we'll see if they do.

I rather buy a new full price game than a 20pixel mount in an MMORPG with sub requirement. Enough people will buy it regardless, FF14 is a good cash cow.

Why not? You are still supporting the developers to keep this game running . . .

I love the mogstation when the items are on sale.

You're assuming that they're going to be putting the money back into the game but in reality the money is going towards other SE failures.

I actually assumed the subscription money is going to whatever SE decides but mogstation purchases goes directly to FFXIV.

Yes Sub money is split between 14 and other projects. The mogstation money goes back into the game and nowhere else.

I think that's debatable but only SE knows the truth.

Best joke I've seen so far. Do you not realize how bad content wise ShB was?

As a general rule, any time something like that comes up, it is true only on a literal level. If SE can apply money from subs to pay for other projects, but can only spend Mog station money on XIV, then (using hilariously small numbers for illustration purposes only) if they make 100 dollars in subs, and 80 dollars in Mog station purchases, then if they spend 80 dollars less on XIV from sub money than they would if they didn't have the Mog station, they are keeping to the "Mog station only pays for XIV content." in the literal use of the words, but they've reduced the money going into the game by an equivalent amount to suit their ends.

Math without a text block around it for TLDR purposes: (100 dollars from subs, 80 dollars from Mogstation, numbers for illustration purposes only)

Spending without Mogstation: 90 dollars earned from subscriptions, 10 dollars going to other projects.

Spending with Mogstation: 10 dollars earned from subs, 80 dollars from Mog station, 90 dollars going to other projects. All Mogstation money going back into game, don't worry about it.
