Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Eight]

Does the mount at least play the theme song or is it just generic mount music?

I think you are a little late for this

I didn't like those either, but it's easy to forget about them. The Magitek are just reskins. Carbuncle mount is an acquired taste as far as I'm concerned. Sleipnir is the only real travesty, and he was in a world boss Fate long before Urth's Fount released in 2.5. A raid bud of mine actually gifted me one back in Xmas 2015, so I sometimes forget he's cash shop related, even though I shouldn't.

I don't like or buy most things that go into the cash shop, but even neglecting the past, we shouldn't neglect this. It should be an eye opening example for people, crystal clear. The dev team is involved with the cash shop.

So what other really cool rideable bosses or monsters are they going to throw behind a $30 pay wall in the future? How much more content in the future is going to simultaneously be in the game while also being planned out to be in the cash shop? How much more past content is going to suddenly become available now, but only within the confines of the cash shop purchase?

The reason I see this as bad is because Cruise Chaser is assets from the game, made by the dev team.

A long held stance for cash shops enthusiasts is, "Stuff made for the cash shop is made by the cash shop teams, so it doesn't affect development time, and the dev team is not involved!"

Well, would you look at that. The dev team is involved. Granted, it's an old raid monster, but really, it has an 8 man rideable animation which actually has all 8 people ride it in its fight. It actually repositions them, so it already had all of the data to be a mount.

Cruise Chaser is also in Rival Wings:

Sure there was some work done to make the Cruise Chaser a mount but it was not exclusively made for the Mogstation like the peacock/whale mount etc

PR: do you have a mount that was going to be gained on game?
DEV: but that is a in game reward.
PR: what about we just sell it on the mog station , wouldnt that means more money ?
DEV: you dont understand we are overflowing with new players and subs, can we not cross that line?
PR. DO IT,
DEV: but we should not cross that line, its been good for years
PR: DO IT NOW, and start sending me half the ingame mounts over to mogstation, We are closing funds.
DEV: are you sure? we have so much in-gain from the new players.

Yeah, I don't care about the mount at all and wouldn't use it even if they gave it away for free, but I'll throw my voice in here anyway because I know this one in particular does mean a lot to a lot of people. It shouldn't be in the cash shop. It should be available in game. There really is no justification at all for only having it in the cash shop except for blatant greed.

[Ravor]

I...... want the mount....... who doesnt....... even at worst for the music....... but....... 30 dollar..... i am farming murder death fates in bozjan for months to get that motorcycle.......this kinda sadden me..... but congratz for everyone who own it, its a cool mount..... very cool

[Lily_Skye]

Why is it not from a Savage raid or an in-game reward instead?

This is not meant to be a Mogstation evil thread but just trying to see reasons for it being in the Mogstation vs earning it in-game.
