Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Y2K21]

“Why is it not a savage raid mount?” For a raid series that came out six years ago? And can be unsynced solo’ed? No thanks, the only place it makes sense would be The Epic of Alexander and I can only imagine how these forums would burn if they locked Cruise Chaser behind an Ultimate, people would be flipping a script and begging for mogstation access.

If only something recent came out with Alexander....if only...

Also...you can just make it a MGP reward. Im pretty sure there needs to be an update.

You know what makes me sad?
They've killed Veteran Rewards (which was super cool) under the valid point that most old stuff would be unattainable for a new player, implemented an achievement point exchange that solved that problem and then proceeded to never put ANYTHING there again.

For new players: Veteran Rewards were an appreciation gesture where the dev team gifted some items (Minions, furniture, mounts) based on your total subscription time.

It really is sad and i’m surprised it’s not something that’s brought up more. Someone in this thread actually raised the point to me that they made that stance of well “we don’t want to expand on it because i’m exclude newer players.” But then after they said that apparently they lowered the requirements for cloud’s attire…so why didn’t they just do that for everything and have a set cap, and they could gradually add things to that rather than just putting all this stuff on the mogstation.

You mean like Ultimate? Which would be The Epic of Alexander.. yeh these forums would burn, mgp… sure cause that wouldnt trigger people releasing a new mgp mount a few days after the make it rain campaign.. which is the entire point, this community just wants something to rant about it wouldnt matter how it was released it would never fly over well

I mean they really don't need a valid reason. It is a business, and their game. Players who don't like it don't matter. They will keep playing the games, and people who want to buy it will buy it. I am at least more understanding why they do it. I mean the fact that mmos are still 13-15 dollars a month is a darn good deal

You're leaving out the fact that it's more than $15. You also pay for expansions. If only people would defend their own interests as they are willing to defend a multi whatever company's. Boggles the mind. People are downright asking to be fleeced. lol
The soon mounts will be > $100 and it won't stop there. Because gamers are stupid. /shrug

People have been saying that since sleipnir was added. Mount pricing is still largely the same.

Im not even attached to the shop. I own no mounts, and the moment the shop actually becomes predatory is the day I quit.


I'm just tired of all the fear mongering. This happens with literally every Mogstation update. For 7 years.

Lemme ask you something. Do you go to restaurants, order UberEats or go out to bars with friends? All those come with a very hefty uptick in price compared to simply staying at home or picking up your order yourself. Therefore, all those people must be stupid. They're spending more money on things they shouldn't for no reason. How about the clothing industry, which has mark ups as high as 125%. So expensive pair of jeans or shirts you might own don't cost anywhere near what you've paid to make. Once again, just another example of apparent "stupidity."

Or... are all these luxury purchases that people make because they typically have disposal income and want to splurge? Now I know some will argue xyz is a physical item or you're socializing. Those aren't the same! But in reality all these things boil down to enjoyment. Sure, you could purchase a game for the same price as Cruise Chaser but if you'd enjoy a cool mount more than a game you might hardly play, well, suddenly that game isn't worth much. In other words, it's all subjective. What you find expensive and "stupid" someone else doesn't. That doesn't make the person themselves stupid but rather they value things differently than you do.

Wanting iconic raid bosses to stay out of mog station ? Bad.
Be happy dammit, getting the mount on mog station is better than nothing !!!!

More seriously: i don't understand ppl who want to pay to just use things in game, instead of playing to get something.
Progging through something either raid or just farm and getting the mount at the end is the best part imo, even more if it's something as cool as cruise chaser.

SE not making extra money because they can't use iconic bosses as bait is not my problem imo.

But its a separate team that makes items for the shop. It is basically all they do. It is not the dev team that works on the game.

Because there's no Cruise Chaser model in-game for they to modified into a mount and the music is also brand new.
