Gold Saucer mounts - it's been a while

[GyroChulainn]

The last time a mount got added to the Saucer was over two years ago, back in Stormblood. The developers of this game have garnered a lot of good will from the community, and deservedly so, but i must say that it's very disheartening to see so many mounts being added to the cash shop while the Gold Saucer remains so behind in updates. For people like me with tons of MGP reading the patch notes and seeing that a dancing pole was all the saucer got is very sad.

I wish they at least added the 3.0/4.0 boxes to mgp rewards, but that probably won't happens as they may have gils value...

Was wondering if they had a time line on that was expecting new mount for EW and I was disapointed :/

The most recent Gold Saucer mount was actually added ~6 months ago, not "over two years". (Magicked Card)
Not really that unreasonable for SE to be focused more on the brand new expansion's launch than target big updates to niche content right off the bat.

If we're talking just "need more things to spend MGP on", I'd much rather them add untradeable consumables (ex. Cordials) to the prize lists than more 1-time-buys like cosmetics/furnishings anyway. (Though I'm still dreaming of my 9999999MGP "It's actually just Godbert carrying you around himself"-mount. Do it SE!!)

That's technically true but you know that's not what he meant.

Really though, while I am disappointed by the lack of new items I'm not terribly surprised by it. Those of us who are MGP caped are in the VAST minority. Most people haven't bought out the whole store and for them the current selections are just fine.

The Magicked Card doesn't really count. That's an achievement card, OP is talking about MGP mounts.

And indeed for those it's been forever and no new ones seem in sight. I remember theories for both Cerberus and CC going there, but they ended up being DR savage and cash shop.

All the latest additions cost a pita of MGP and are mostly useless, so it does feel indeed like there's absolutely no point anymore in earning MGP, since there's nothing to spend it on/aim for.

Word. Every time I see "New prizes have been added to the Gold Saucer" in the patch notes I get so excited! Then I race there, sort by only new items, nothing in Prizes I, go to Prizes II and it's like "Lalafell fart in a jar: 100,000 MGP" and nothing else, and my spirit crashes back down to earth.

I wish those boxes didn't exist period. I would rather that things remain difficult to obtain no matter how much time passes with the exception of armor/weapons because they quickly get obsolete.

None of those things were difficult to obtain. Just time consuming and/or expensive because of the rarity.

No they weren't (although RNG is a big factor) but the fact remains that they are making it easier to obtain. It would be better in my opinion if they stopped offering things you can obtain one way by another means such as if you can obtain a minion by clearing something, it shouldn't be made available in a moogle scratch thing in the firament or loot boxes. Everytime they do this it devalues whatever they give away. Like take the Copycat bulb. You can get that from a lootbox now instead of Eureka. When retainers bring back craftable loot, then it makes it worse for crafters because right now the market is over saturated with loot and crafted goods. Let's say a table is worth 500k gil, then after the next patch it's worth 200 gil because retainers can now obtain them.

I'm all for doing this for content that is essentially inaccessible (old diadem) but would rather see it moved over to some other challenge. The market is pretty bad right now and it has to do with how easy it is to level omni craft/gather and the freebies that you get from retainers and GC lootboxes is what I'm getting at.
