Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Roda]

They have plenty of mounts, emotes and glamour to spend MGP on.
They have plenty of rewards for doing ranked PVP and non-ranked glamours and emotes
They have plenty of rewards to spend achievement points on
They have plenty of rewards to earn through content like Boja
Raiders have plenty of mounts available just do the content

A new mount gets added to mog and people act like there's literally nothing to earn in game through the content available.

Not really. I've got them all and have nothing to spend my make it rain mgp on
Screw the ranked crap. I've got all the currency stuff, and I'm working on the current rival wings objectives, but I'll gladly push back the dead-end of that reward structure, or have an incentive to play differently from what I usually do in that content.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -WHEEZE- AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA no they don't.
Man, I didn't say bozja now did I? Still, would've been more productive to put it there anyway. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've done the content. We are in a content drought right now. Would've been cool if it was some bonkers reward for TEA like the primal mounts. (Idk, have it still be personal loot. Have a hidden roll to see if it drops that run, and if it does drop, have a hidden roll to see which person gets it in their personal drop. If that person already has it the runner up roll gets it, and so on and so forth. Once everyone has it unlocked or in their inventory, the whole party gets an extra totem when a mount would drop. Then let us exchange totems for decor or the mount drop if our luck sucks that much.)

Your definition of "plenty" is not objective. You can say "I have plenty to work for" and that'd be fine. But a lot of XIV's content has an end wall, and those of us who like to dabble in a lot of things and are goal oriented, we tend to hit that wall at the end of an expansion.

And an end-of-expansion content drought is NOT the place where you want to start sticking anything in the cash shop when people are waiting for something new to do. Like what? I log in to buy something, stand around in a zone that lets me mount then log off? Nah, you want to put those little extra collectables in there for bonus objectives that are easy to implement to give people a twist on gameplay they otherwise wouldn't engage with (x kills as a cruise chaser in rival wings, giving raiders who are done with savage that little boot in the butt to maybe dabble in ultimates, SPEND THE BONUS CURRENCY THAT THEY EARNED IN THE MOST RECENT EVENT). Help keep sub numbers up for veterans, and keep the game engaging while we're all waiting for the exciting thing to happen. It's literally why they space the fomo events out the way they do, to keep sub counts up during lulls.

Wont be the first time people lose it over a mount or item being put on the mog wont be the last.

Yes because it is greed to want profits. Look, as much as you all hate it. Some people love it. Who is in the right? Noone, If you don't like it. You have no power to stop it. You can not buy it, but enough people do buy it so that won't matter.



The only thing you can do is accept it, or not support this game. And we all know the addiction is so strong that you will voice how sad you are about it. Without a single understanding of how business works, and or if they are even making enough money to cover the cost. We really don't know. Heck even money does not fix the issues of servers, and just overall needing trained people to help work on the game. That times time resources, and yes money, but MONEY can't just make things happen.



Would you rather pay 25 dollars a month, or 13-15 dollars with a cash shop? I know some would say 25, but man bump that.

This is something people often forget about microtransactions in general. Games cost prohibitively more than they used to. Companies aren't just going to eat those costs much in the same way grocery stores don't. Instead of raising the store price or sub fee to compensate, they use microtransactions which are entirely optional. Granted, companies like EA take advantage by pay walling practically everything or creating a problem to later sell you the solution. FFXIV hasn't done that. So while I do think Cruise Chaser should have been an Ultimate reward or something just due to his status in the game, I'm not overly miffed about it being Cash Shop. Just indifferent, really.

This is probably the more realistic and healthy way to look at it rather than shaming and harassing anyone for choosing to purchase items on the store-front. Maybe isn't as common here due to forum TOS and all but reddit was a minefield today.

Everyone seems to be forgetting a certain something.


Anyone remember twintania.

Maybe they could've made it a Recruit-a-Friend rewards like how Twintania (whom also is a raid boss) is a reward from there.
Then everyone would be happy.

I did.
