Really? They put Shadowkeeper on the Mog Station?

Is nice doggie? Has any emotes?

Im actually happy SE put this mount behind real money, so I can actually laugh at all the complaints and crying in this thread and Reddit.

Actually reddit barely complains about the cash shop mounts.

in this thread and Reddit.

Sadly, no you wont.

Reddit is in the middle of some infantile tantrum over API that has seen it locked out to everyone. They have more or less sat on the ground , drumming their feet and holding their breath till they turn blue. The entire subreddits are marked private which means NO ONE can read any thread or join .

The end result of this "go dark" or 'strike" activity will accomplish..nothing. Then again considering the Reddit hivemind, this isnt news to anyone.

They intend, I hear, to continue this for some time, long past the next two days in any case..so dont bank on being able to post anything or read anything for quite a while.

/r/Save3rdPartyApps Our subreddit is currently set to private in protest of reddit's planned API changes, which will kill all 3rd party apps that many users rely on for accessibility and content moderation. For more information, please check the subreddit above or our thread on /r/ffxivmeta. In the meantime, we encourage anybody who is able to celebrate Pride by [making a donation to the Trevor Project.](https://give.thetrevorproject.org/give/489092/) We hope to see you again soon!

Need details on submarines and other content on Reddit? Nope.

Need user details and info generated over years in that subreddit? Nope.

Want to see translations and other data on FF 14 events? Nope.

Want to see dev interviews and other PR events no one knows happened from Square Enix? Nope.

Actually reddit barely complains about the cash shop mounts.

If they do no one will ever know about it.

Ye tbh I dont use reddit. Proud of it, though.

A new mount in the cash shop.....
Ah Well, either Ill Buy it later if I want it, or I wont buy it because who cares.

Not like it actually does anything.

They have effectively slammed the door on a resource used by the entire playerbase in an action that, quite frankly, is IMO utterly futile.

Some poor guy at the Better Business Bureau with his head in his hands wondering why he has to put up with all this nonsense from a load of Karens.

LOL.

Not gonna lie, I envy the person that will read it. - Would make for a good laugh in the office.

(I don't think it was the right choice to put it on Mogstation, but this is a good laugh all the same)

[MistakeNot]

This should be FREE, Square Enix. Why do they insist on putting popular mounts after popular mounts behind shit no one wants to do or make it $30? Who are the developers who made this so expensive? After Cruise Chaser why did you do this again?

They do it because there are plenty of players who can and do pay for those expensive mounts. It is also not something that gives those players any discernible benefit in the game, so there is no worries about Pay-to-Win.

If a game must have a cash shop, then mounts is exactly the sort of things that should be sold there - looks nice, sells well, but nobody actually needs them.
