Elk Mount has no Upgrades

Why for 4500 crowns does the Elk mount have no armor? or speed straps ? The bags come equipped on the original model. I was really hoping this mount would have some awesome armor especially for the price. All other mounts have it. What gives?

    Is it safe to assume you have your mount training maxed, and that these *should* be showing? (Only asking because I'm pretty sure you need to have a used the horse training thing a certain number of times for that to show up normally) Also, do you have them turned off in settings - I usually keep the bags turned off, and forget the settings are even there most of the time. (Again, just double-checking)

    Are you kidding me? They could've even be bothered to put in the basic visual features for a $32 mount? If you are going to screw us, ZoS, at least take us out to dinner first. This is just freaking sad.

    Yep spoke to a few people in game, asked if they could put on their upgrades, and it made no difference. Comes with no visual upgrades at all... I really would have loved to see some armour.

    What, really? That's insane! I was about to purchase the crowns so that I could buy the Elk, but this doesn't sound good at all.
    @ZOS_GinaBruno This is a bug, correct?

    Wow... just... wow. I don't even know what to say.
    Not only is it over-priced, but it's not even finished...

    (Thanks for the added info everyone, btw.)

    Perhaps this is the new direction for mounts moving forward. No upgrades unless you pay for them separately. They'll have a new section of the crown store for mount tackle and barding.

    Submitted bug, I was too enthusiastic with purchasing this mount and didn't see the price until after I saw my crown balance afterwards. The next shock was the missing upgrades, I thought I had some turned off, went to look, saw all of them turned on. Turned them off, and no difference.

    That is definitely a bug and does not act according to the regular mount behaviour, this without any notice prior. So I think we are entitled to a refund on the item. Especially for that price. I bet some Crown Store Houses will be cheaper.

    Also, why are some of the mounts called "... Mount", doesn't it look visually more pleasing when something is called "Doom Wolf" or "Great Elk" rather than "Doom Wolf Mount" and "Great Elk Mount"?

    I really hope this is a bug or I want a refund. I had no knowledge of there not being any visual upgrades since all mounts have them so why would I think otherwise. $32 for no armor? Bs

    For those of you thinking this is a bug:
    Hi everyone,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and concerns with us regarding the Great Elk mount. We do take your feedback into consideration for future Crown Store content releases. Because of its geometry and the fact that it already has adornment by default, this particular mount does not have an upgraded look for maxed out riding skills as some of our other mounts do. Some of our mounts will have this upgraded look, and some will not. In the future, we will do better at letting everyone know ahead of time which do and which don’t.

    One possibility is to distinguish them from pets, eg. when there's both a snow wolf mount and pet.

    Not that there's an elk pet now but maybe they have plans for one. And it'll only cost you.... your favourite grandparent's life, one lung, an act of murder and let's say 12 million crowns.

    How much more distinction is needed than putting them in their own separate categories and with different visuals? What age rating does this game have? Should be sufficient enough to make the distinction ourselves.
