    Ehh that's exactly what happened with dromathra senche mount when it was released. Everyone and their dogs bought them.

    I remember, everyone was riding a Dro-m'Athra senche around me.

    I don't understand why people would want the dwarven spider mount to be high priced to make it exclusive. To me that's not exclusive that's just people wanting to show off that there wallet is fatter then other people's that can't afford it.

    depends on how you mount the spider, if it's going by that Data mined image where you stand awkwardly on top...no thanks, I don't expect it to be great.

    You will sit on the Dwemer Spider as you do with any mount (the standing was a bug), but the animations for it are really cool and unique. :)

    I've been waiting for this! I just hope you guys don't price it so high. I stockpiled crowns when they were on sale, hoping for my Telvanni tower and this. :)

    Just a small detail but the name and blue trim appears different on this datamined dwemer spider mount compared to the one shown in the crown store showcase. So I imagine this is a reskin that will come later on maybe? Or could just be the lighting of the crown store showcase picture, I'm not sure

    Definitely something to keep in mind anyway

    which will totally justify the -estimate- 6000 crowns price LUL

    I was mostly happy with this month, although they needed to release a hair as well, and it's weird they're making us wait until the very end of the month for some of the Morrowind stuff.

    They were never prudes. They just needed to nerf the boob window, so you would buy the boob window.

    Next will be shoes with toes.

    And Telvanni house limited ? (and so Crownstore exclusive I suppose)

    Is that serious ? We pay that "chapter" much more than DLC but still you manage to make some of it's content limited ? -_-

    But you dont need to own Morrowind to own the houses. So no content is limited. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom stated this on the last ESO Live

    Why do they always have tons of items as limited time sales. Does it cost Zenimax money to keep them in the warehouse? NO! It's ridiculous. All the resources they spend on making this stuff you think they'd just load the store up so you can shop whenever you have crowns. Com'on man! This company can make some boneheaded decisions on some easy stuff...

    I never really understood this either other than they maybe want to create limited chances of getting an item so people will impulse buy them thinking the items won't come back. I wish they would put the hero costumes back up for longer than a weekend a piece.

    Yeah because there are new flashy mounts. ;)
    I'm pretty sure there will be a wave of dwemer spider hype, too and then itll become relatively rare just like the senche.
    I don't understand why people would want the dwarven spider mount to be high priced to make it exclusive. To me that's not exclusive that's just people wanting to show off that there wallet is fatter then other people's that can't afford it.

    Its not about "being able to afford it", its about willing to spend that much on a digital item. I'm pretty sure that anyone who can afford a gaming pc these days can technically buy any crown store item. ;)
    Anyways, I agree and I think that showing off wallets is kinda tasteless. Buying something not because you like it, but because its the most expensive item in store? Lolwut.

    The showcase looks pretty damn awesome to me. The QQing on this board is at ridiculous levels.

    My QQ is that I just bought the kagouti mount. No fair having 2 cool mounts so close to each other.
    3 new classes. 3 new spellcasters. Zenimax has forgotten how to make melee classes.

    It's called Artificial Scarcity, it's intentional gimmick to incite a buy now response. It must be very effective since they have been rolling it out heavy with 4 to 7 day limited releases. If you don't buy it now you might regret it (Ignore the $50 for a mount or $80 for that house, you need it now)!

    I don't mind the limited sales, but jeez let them stay up for a few weeks so some people can get a paycheck or 2 and spend their money responsibly. (without even previewing the price tag, all I get is to hope I have enough during that magic window)

    Edit: PS: Not full of hate for the items, they look great, just on the sales tactics (i would gladly pay the silly prices if they left them up long enough for me to do so reasonably)

    Khajiit she would like to see more hats.

    There were a few hats at first yes but then all the hats went into the crates.

    No more hats in the store. No more hats for khajiit.

    In conclusion perhaps some more hats? This one has ears to keep warm you know.

    I would have actually preferred it the way it was originally conceptualized (1st outfit of the 3 in the first image). This is more like a combination of a new top half combined with the Breton Corseted Riding Outfit bottoms. I hope the other two stay true to the concept. I guess we'll see when we get them in 6 months.

    Yep agree, the one that is coming to the crown store just looks like a slightly reworked version of the existing corseted riding outfit.

    So just complaints and no solutions, yes?

    what kind of solutions?

    Lower Prices, make the sale window longer?

    Have a large catalogue of items release with each crate season giving 3 months to pick which items things you're willing to purchase before it switches to the next 3 month long season?

    ↑ That is a player friendly but far less profitable approach, having a limited sale mount followed by another cool one increases the chance people buy both.

    I suppose a solution to players would be don't have student loans and get a credit card so you can buy when they appear and pay later. Well those 2 things would solve my problems I suppose, too bad that first parts gonna take a while to go away.

    TBH, I haven't seen a decent costume (at least a costume that I would buy) for the past 6 months. Either they are making crazy money with the crown crates and don't need to create anything cool for the crown store or they are just missing out on a great opportunity to make money

    I liked the Tower, went in, walked around, very unique looking. Disappointed it's limited time, so I won't be buying it. It's not that I couldn't afford it, but bullying people into impulse buying something that runs into the triple digits is a deal breaker for me, especially for something as functionally useless as housing is currently. Mounts usually only cost something like $20-$30 and they actually do something for you.

    I did buy the Kagouti, at least partly because of it at least having a more reasonable availability window (also because it's pretty cute really). Like, 7-14 days at least gives normal people enough time to get their bloody paycheck. Since the prices aren't published ahead of time how could anyone know how much to save for it beforehand? If people can't afford something, they won't buy it, and that's a lost sale just because of some completely arbitrary time gate. Zeni's marketing strategist must be an absolute wallaby.
