Paarthurnax's Say on the Dro-m'Athra Senche

Paarthurnax · May 2016

Greetings, I come in peace.

The Greybeards have called upon me to address this issue regarding the new mount, so by long tradition, the elder speaks first. Hear my Thu'um relating to the new crown store mount, FEEL IT in your bones -- match it, if you are Dovahkiin.

The Greybeards have informed me of its price being 4,000 crows; a senche which has been infused with the elements as well as it having a unique summoning emotion, although one can't help see the resemblance between the other senche mounts, so therefore, I personally think it is not worth it. You, Dovahkiin, will be riding around on your stunning, glowing senche only to impress others, but that impression will only work on those who're not Dovahkiin, those who were unaware that such a mount costed over £20+/$40+

It does not matter if you have all the money in the world, if you continue to buy vanity items for such high prices, ZOS will continue to raise the prices more and more, which will eventually put a lot of potentially new players off, as well as existing players/veterans, especially when they bring out player housing crown store-related items and even future DLCs. You may believe that you don't care, you may believe that it's no big deal spending your money on such an over-priced mount, but you are feeding bad habits, remember that.

All in good time.

At this point. I really dont care what price tag they slap the vanity mounts with. I already know what Im buying for the remaining characters I have. And none of them are going to be this damn expensive.

Banded Guar Charger - For my upcoming Argonian Character
Cave Bear - For my Orc Character
Hammerfell Camel - For my Redguard Character
White Mane Horse - For my upcoming male Breton Character

I already have the Golden Eyed Guar and the Piebald Destrier for my upcoming Dunmer and female Breton characters. And Ill probably get the Direwolf mount for one of my Bosmer if its not too expensive.

With every release of over priced LTOs they drive me farther and farther away from wanting to indulge in any of it at all.

Your wit is amusing. I got a good chuckle and I wanted to agree with you, but I can't. The reason is:

rip-off
nouninformal
noun: ripoff

a fraud or swindle, especially something that is grossly overpriced.
"designer label clothes are just expensive rip-offs"
synonyms: fraud, cheat, deception, swindle, confidence trick; More

an inferior imitation of something.
"rip-offs of all the latest styles"

It's good to know that I will not kill you, scale brother. In fact, I hauled a bucket up to the Blades' hideout and washed my blood out of the door locking mechanism, forcing the jerks to climb down the mountain to get out. (At least I wish I could've done that. I am the Dragonborn - they should be doing what I say, not the other way around!)

As annoying as I find it that you are using the persona of an existing character in ESO lore... I agree with you. hehe. +1 from me.

Its an SUV with impractical rims - You pay extra for something that looks good but has the same usefulness as a far less expensive alternative. Some people want to pay more $ to look good, I say let them. Capitalism! May their real life money fund future dlcs for everyone! Now I just wonder how the market determined the price here...

ZOS Sales Team is nothing but monkeys. They put a board with different prices on it. And the Sales Team of monkeys fling poo at the board. Whatever sticks is the price.

While we're all Skyrim fans, this forum is for The Elder Scrolls Online and there is already an ongoing discussion regarding the cost of the Dro-m'Athra Senche here so we are closing this discussion.
