It would have been great to see it as a reward, but I can understand why it is no longer one (even if I don't like it). It's just funny to see so plainly how they re-geared content they had already developed (thus delaying content, why there was such a big drought) to fit the game's new economic model.
Actually I can name a few btp or ftp games that have cash shops AND allow you to obtain mounts or vehicles in game. So your statement is incorrect. They offer them as quest rewards or by completing certain acheiements or tasks.

My point (and that of the original thread) is that the Crown Store should not be the only way to obtain new mounts. I'm all for additional versions and colors bought exclusively with crowns, however there should be ways to earn extraordinary mounts in game.

In July it was still supposed to be a reward.

Since that time the decision was made to replace it with costumes and put it in the store.
Its really so big deal? Theres so many mounts Im sure no-one is gonna even use new mount, at least Im not gonna use it.
It is a big deal. You purchased a dlc, you paid money for it. or you subscribed. If they are using this bear mount in their orsinium ads, then they should make it a quest reward and include that within the game. I'm not even sure what they do is legal worldwide. You don't see "a gamer sued x company" type news on tv often. But it's slowly getting there.
But anyway, it's a part of that game's environment, lore... they are just doing it wrong. Like bmw selling cars and tires seperately.
they should sell bears with glowing eyes and undead skins in the store. What a shame.
please, watch this video I promise, your 40 mins won't be wasted.
Yeah, that battle is long over, and as far as I know he hasnt returned to eso, nor done a lore piece on it, I miss Shoddy
