Uh-oh.
It's another one of those long rants about the new Elk Mount, that is the thought I would have if I was a moderator / admin here.
Fear no more, Zenimax Admins! I have found a solution!
I made rather long replies in previous posts. To be more specific, these two:
1 &
2 and I really don't feel like doing copy pasting it again, instead, I will more or less argue for this case.
First of all, it is with a firm certainty that I can say this. The price is not going to drop. This is a clear case. It might be the most expensive mount that has ever been created, and hopefully the last. You have to think about it like this; it is a highly requested mount, and the fact that it came here, during Christmas? Any employee would like a bigger christmas bonus this year. Aye?
And although I see quite a lot of posts about dropping the price, what about those poor *** ( me) who actually did spend that many crowns on it? People are going to complain even more and demand a refund. Which, by the way, is going to be beyond the sane level of complicity.
And now the ESO Studio is thinking, at this very moment, they probably held a meeting or two. "How are we going to fix this issue?"
Fear no more, the answer is here.
First of all, I think what frustrates many people is the fact that it doesn't look like an Elk. At all. This is what really annoyed me. And for those of you who don't really get what I mean because you don't own the mount.. Look here.
And then we got the errors.
I also made YouTube videos about how they walk, run and sprint.
Elk Mount compared to other Elks - Walking (Not so bad actually, sorta spot-on.)

((MORE VIDEOS TO COME - CURRENTLY UPLAODING))
Thus I suggest, the first thing that you should do before the 4th of January.
Make it look like an Elk.
The second thing I would do is add those weird things (the upgrades) that people keep requesting.
The third and probably most essential thing. Make some sort of animation. That makes every person wet apparently.

I know this is not the out come ESO had hoped for. They just wanted some christmas vacation, (DAMN THOSE NERDS AND THEIR ELKS!) but in order to more or less satisfy people and to get the Crown Store back on track, which by the way it apparently is turning away from(?) you would score many, many points within the community. Yes, it is going to require extra work (DAMMIT!) but the satisfaction and the credibility you would gain on doing this would be unlike any other game. Your reputation would become even better and people would praise ESO and the developers, for actually listenting to the community. (Which by the way, you're already doing.)
And despite the rage of the nerds, I am certain that this will indeed pass, but as a bandage to the wound, these minor details would improve everyones christmas spirit.
I also know that 90% of all the players here wish everyone a merry, merry Christmas and a Happy New Years eve!
Sincerely,
Shusumi
