Why is the Cruise Chaser mount from the Mogstation?

[Alestorm]

In all honesty it's better than it being another feast reward. Could it have been achievable in-game? Sure, but it's better than only a tiny percentage of players getting it. Mostly win sellers/buyers anyways.

I am grateful to be able to purchase it at Mog Station.
If it was a reward for winning 1000 times in the new PvP starting with Endwalker, I would not have been able to get it for years.
On a more serious note, FF14 has been selling mounts on the Mog Station for a long time now, and I've never felt overly encouraged to pay for them, and I've never seen the game fall apart because of it. Rather, as you all know, the player base continues to grow and FFXIV continues to improve.
Please keep in mind that there are opinions like this one.

I've seen some extreme knee-jerk reactions on these forums over the years. This is almost at the top of the list. Holy cow, people. You guys are putting the Sleipnir controversy of ARR to shame.

As it should.
It was exactly the same in fact.

When something that clearly should be IN GAME content is put into a cash shop is always bad.

I wouldn't mind variant colors of these mounts being in the cash shop. But iconic mounts should be - at least in their original version/color - completely in game content.
I Pay a subscription to play IN GAME and be rewarded IN GAME.

It is unethical when they do this, so yeah, the outrage is completely legitimate.

Who says it should be in the game? I'm trying to figure this out here. Do you own this business? Did you make it? What right besides being a consumer do you have? Some of you need to learn your place on this. Saying that it should be in the game, takes a level of ego that I can't even picture.


You even as far as said CLEARLY? And unethical. A business trying to make money off its work? The only reason why you are going that far is because they already made tons of money, you are not getting your way...and you can't quit cause of addiction. I understand, but this level of thinking is so self center. To say that a company should not sell something it made.


Do you really think your sub fee is enough? LOL as I said before the people who buy this stuff. Help keep our sub fee low, and I <3 these people.

Talking about ego, the self rightgeous CONSUMER

Also, that last part is completely a lie.
The subscription doesn't adjust not because the cash shop exists, it doesn't adjust because people would drop the game en masse. They are as much of an addict to us as us to them. So when they do these Unethical practices it's very clearly an insult towards the playerbase.

So interesting that you've been party to SE's internal policy discussions on this matter. And, of course, you've had a look at their books, too. I mean, how else could you so confidently make a statement with absolutely zero supporting evidence?

[Daeriion_Aeradiir]

The subscription doesn't adjust not because the cash shop exists, it doesn't adjust because people would drop the game en masse.

And I wonder how they offset the cost of not adjusting the sub price with rising inflation so that way they can still make more profit for the CEO/shareholder reports while not having people quit on masse...oh wait.

Make no mistake; mogstation is 90% the reason you enjoy a non-rising sub cost since 2013.

I understand that you people don't know how the real world works. The fact you think it is unethical shows you have a very childish understanding of the world.


They have a right to design and sale something they worked on. They have a right to not add it to the game. You act like 12-15 dollars a month is WELL enough to keep the content flowing. I'm going to tell you right now. As much content we get on our patches, and story elements, voice acting and the works at the speed we get it. Making more profits besides the sub is understandable. After all, cost goes up in making games but our sub stays the same. You all are so selfish, to not understand something that simple. Cash shop helps balance our cheap subs out. You are welcome for the lessons.


To say that it is unethical. Like I said learn your place. You can not like it, but you don't understand the meaning of the word. The fact someone made something and can't sale it how they want. You out of your mind.

What right besides being a consumer do you have? Some of you need to learn your place on this.
