New skin is crown crate only

Cmon Zos this is beyond simple greed. Locking new infernal skin in crates and making it rare insures almost nobody will get it. Do you seriously believe that it should cost 400 gems?
Make it crown puchasable (not saying cheap) as skins were before. It will at least be fair.

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

    I do. And everything in this forum section is cosmetics so your response is kind of silly.

    Judging from @TERAB1T's article it is. Same as infernal mounts.

    Completing Vet Halls of Fabrication gives you a gross, patchy bronze/gold skin.

    Completing Vet Asylum Sanctorium HM gives you a silver, non-patchy recolor of the same skin.

    ....pay 350 gems from Crown Crates for unique skins. This trend has me worried. They truly are focused on those Crown Crates :/

    Yeah. Dis. A. Ppoint.

    But hey, looking on the bright side you'll probably get enough gems while hoping for the matching mount. The armour/motif for the look to complement this will be in the store soon for 5000 crowns and then of course miscellaneous puppies later on for the established 1500. As if this wasn't overkill already we will finally be able to dye our underpants (which is seriously important with this look) but of course only with the one time dye-stamps, of course since these are premium shiny colours we are talking ... eenie meenie miney mo ... 1000 crowns.

    Sorry, my sarcasm ran wild there for a second. I tied myself to the chair now.

    Sad to see that they give us ulgy skin while they put good looking skin in Crown-store

    Custom reward from content that you paid and those from Crown Store should both look " nice " and not just give the impression that they vote to choose the ugliest reward then pull it at the end of Engame content.

    just look at Vhof skin and Vas skin ... they just changed the color ... If at least they could show us that they took time to design these ... they could create such amazing skin with the " sauroïde " theme ...

    I was really looking forward to getting this skin. I'd buy it for 100 gems or even 1200 crowns (price of the blood-forged skin)... if only there was a crown sale. I'm just so disappointed in so many ways.

    They'll keep doing it from now on, because it's better for them to have people pay more than 1200 crowns (the price of a regular skin) for just a slight chance of getting it (instead giving most of the time their crappy potions that no one in their right mind will buy for several times their original value). Too bad many people still incentive this scam.

    EA recently got pwned by fans for doing something similar. Hint hint Zos, please reconsider.

    Oh for forking's sake...

    Most of the trial/dungeons stuff is beyond my reach currently as I didn't find a laid-back "raiders" yet...and my gear sucks (and it will continue for some time..maybe forever duh lol) and I don't.................whine to put the items in crown store OR make uber-group content easy for a (mostly) pve player. o_0

    An example? Transmutation crystals...

    While I can certainly concede that 400 gems is certainly a bit pricey for a skin, are we really complaining that the skin matching the newest crown crates theme is only available in the crown crates? It matches the crates, of course it's in the crates. There's also something to be said about the decline in dungeon skin quality, but perhaps you might want to make that the focus of the argument instead of the idea that the matching skin should be available separate from the mounts. Throwing it in as an afterthought argument undermines it a bit..

    I would like that you two personally would pay 4 or 5 times more for everything in crown shop from now on if you enjoy being cheated for your money so much) The idea "skin matches crates so it should be 400 gems, not 1200 crowns (you will probably get 40-50 gems per 1200 crowns at best)" is just ridiculous.

    If you could control your sass for a minute you might notice that nobody really approves of the 400 gem price. Furthermore, since I'm not interested in skins I'm not bothered either way. Thirdly, the skin matching the crates does make sense and has nothing to do with the decided price. It just matches, it fits, it belongs.

    It belongs in your imagination only. And you need to be "special" to think that putting something that wasn't in crates before behind rng wall is okish. I can understand zos that are driven by desire to make profit but common players? Just no.
