Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Alexandre_Noireau]

People support microtransactions like if that was what makes their game experience better.
Reminder we been for months now with server problems, actually, we have had server problems since day 1. Housing, inventory, convoluted glamour, instance limitations, server queues, character creation limitations, transfer limitations, etc: All server issues in a way or another. Since day 1.


And people think money from the cash shop somehow flows into the game. LMAO.

The market is there. I don't understand people who get in a huff about SE doing what any other business would do and exploit it.

Also... get a job. Get any job. These things just aren't that expensive. And don't tell me it's principle of the thing - you know what SE hasn't done? Raise subscription costs to be commensurate with inflation.

Not the point. And is indeed a principle, ideological and political stance against microtransactions in general - That the industry is a shit hole of greedy corporates doesn't justify anything.
And they haven't done that not because the inflation, lmao, they would just lose way too many subscriptors if they did - thus not worth it.


The willing blindness, amazing.

Oh well. Guess you don't get to enjoy the mount then. I'll definitely be losing sleep over that one.

If we acknowledge corporations are greedy, which they absolutely are. And not just in the gaming industry. What makes you think they would offer these mounts or any of the cash shop stuff for free? They have zero incentive. What would happen if there wasn't a cash shop is most of these items wouldn't exist. They might bring out the occasion unique mount per expansion and lock it behind a tedious grind to incentive dead content but that's about it.

This isn't defending Square Enix but simply acknowledging how the industry works.

That's just speaking strictly mounts.

I'd love it if they put some more quality outfits on the mogstation, for both male and female characters.

"Free". This would be true if this was a free to play game. But when you buy a base game + buy expansions + pay a monthly sub you can hardly call any content created for it to be given out for "free".

Right. It's a commentary on how shitty the industry is and how it continues to do it, because people keep feeding into it .

Get a job ? you think this is a free game or what ? most people who are playing this game have a job. Next time think before posting ....

I did think. And I think that anyone who believes that $30 is a lot of money needs to find a different line of work: employment instead of unemployment.

Already beat you to it.

It is sane. It's called an analogy.

Comparing the relationship that customers have with the Mogstation to domestic abuse is about as insane as it gets. Why don't you call it AIDS next? Can I get a literally thrown in there, too? Literally AIDS?
