    None of you understand what an expensive mount is for.
    Its for rarity. The fact that none of you are willing to buy it is the point. That's the selling point for those who do buy it. They want exclusiveness and are willing to pay extra for it. The fact you won't buy it means less people will have it. It makes it more unique. That's what those players want.
    No.
    Most people aren't that shallow. I got this elk because I didn't buy the first one and really wanted it. I don't give a rat's rear end how *rare* it becomes, or doesn't. I wish it had been 1,000 crowns so that everybody and their grandmothers would get it. I don't buy mounts to be *special*. Only ridiculous people think that way. I've noticed that YOU think that way, though. LOL. :p
    It'll probably end up in a crown crate in a year, then everyone will have it, like what happened with the Dromanthra senche.

    I find ancient mounts purchased years ago much more "unique" than these expensive mounts.

    I find my choice to buy the white guar last year to be great when it comes to "uniqueness", in that it's the animal I see people riding around on the least, it's not ostentatious, and it goes great with all my Argonian vampires.

    Also here's a thread about basically the exact same thing for that very mount. Bet that 2500 seems much more reasonable now, huh?

    I'm starting to kinda like the limited time sales. I don't have to resist so long - after that it's out of sight out of mind.

    I like expensive limited time offers. The item is usually not very good looking or has some obnoxious animation or effect and so I don't see them in the game because few people buy them. If they had priced Evil Rudolph at 1000 Crowns or 1500 Crowns, they would be everywhere in the game.

    Soo.. your saying "Zos don't wanna make money, they increased priced to make people happy." This just made my day.
    Why would they say no to 50 million dollar, and accept only 2million instead? does not make any sense. They are a business, they do exclusive deals to make money, they don't care how you feel. Only reason they would care is if you stopped paying them money.

    Alright smart guy, you give the reason they only want 1000 units at $40 each instead of 100,000 units at $10 each?

    I'll do the math for you:

    1000 x $40 (overpriced mount) = $40,000
    100,000 x $10 (reasonably priced mount) = $1,000,000

    YOU explain why they are greedy to want $40,000 over $1,000,000

    Come on @Medakon explain how wanting $40,000 instead of $1,000,000 is greedy. Go into as much detail as you can. We'll wait for this one.

    I've never been afraid of deer or people that ride deer no matter how evil ... Bambi's possessed father just does not make me reach into my wallet . Maybe if it was just the head mounted for a wall decoration that said crazy things like in evil dead movie ... But 4K crowns ?

    I don't get the uproar when a private company tries to make money these days. It's very bizarre.

    Already seen a few of the mounts about, it's been popular enough. Each to their own.

    I personally don't get excited about the mounts that we can buy in the crown store. Really, what should I be thinking ? "ooo-h wow! a new color guar!" or "I'm so going to buy the horse that looks like a noob horse!" Seriously, the mounts that are being released in the crown store are just plain and noobish compared to what has been released in the scam boxes.

    I currently have 13 mounts, if they want my attention/money they will need to create something new and exciting to look at before I buy another.

    UPDATE:
    3 hours left! Last chance to get your new Great Dark Stag!

    If you want a friend, get a dog.
