Allow us to train all 3 riding skills at once.

Training mounts should always have been immersive and appropriate.

Mounts should be trained by use:
1. After moving on a mount for distance x Stamina increases by 1.
2. After galloping (sprinting) a mount for time x Speed increases by 1.
3. After being over (a high percentage) of inventory space for a continuous time x Capacity increases by 1.

Isn't this how training works?

It would also reward those long gallops around Cyrodiil when the keep scenarios isn't favourable...

The problem with that kind of skill advancement is that all that happens is that you'll pass countless afk mounted players moving against a fixed object with their forward key weighed down while their skill goes up. We're lobbying to get rid of afk botting, not add to it.

Not a big step to mindless buying from the stablemaster once every day.

11/12 characters here with fully trained mounts ... without spending a single crown. It’s not that difficult. Especially if you stand by the stablemaster when logging out.

You know that there's a difference between something being difficult and something being a senseless chore?

I'm slowly getting tired of this whole "I've done it, so you have to have the struggle too" attitude.

I’ve done it on multiple characters for a whole lot longer than almost everyone else around here, and I DON’T think you should have to struggle too. It’s aggravating, and I don’t wish it on anyone else.

You are high on drugs. I just checked US prices for the riding skill in the crown store. 1,000 crowns each for stamina, speed, and storage. That's 3,000 crowns to level each once. There are 60 levels per stat. 3,000 crowns X 60 = 180,000 crowns total. The best deal in the PS4 store for crowns is 21,000 crowns for $149.99 There is something extremely wrong with this.

For fun, let's carry this a little further. 180,000 / 21,000 = 8.57 So, let's round down and say 8. You would have to spend $150.00 x 8 = $1,200 to train 1 horse fully ??? And just to make sure I'm not crazy, I checked the description. Each riding lesson increases that stat by 1. Holy Crap.

Someone please tell me what I'm missing. Because, this can't be right.

Be careful with those numbers else someone will tell you that ZoS sells those like hot cakes. Besides, you get 10 riding lessons per 1000 crowns, not 1. Nevertheless, you need 18,000 crowns for a fully upgraded mount.

I knew I had to have something wrong. Still, that's like a $100 to train a horse.

I have to say this is the most stupid idea I ever read here.

Give the possibility of training 1 raiding skill of each type x day is ok, but the price is ridiculous and also I don't get the point of it.

ZOS sells 1k crown coins the pack of 10 books. 1500 crown coins cost 13€, that would mean that 1000k are 8,66€, now if do 18 x 8,66 that are 155 potential € that ZOS can get from their customers for every character they could have.

Now tell me if you catch the business behind it.

Why is it ridiculous? You pay for faster service. If you want to train 3 at a time it cost more gold. That is not unreasonable. Just like if you want to train it all right now in the next 5 minutes you spend $100-$150 to do so. Same concept different currency.

I imagine very few people use crowns to train their horse. I have plenty of real money to spend, but id walk everywhere before id spend it to train a horse made of pixels. Maybe thats why i have plenty of real money to spend, now that i think about it.

Make it account bound already, not character that was just bad design

Just no.

Like all MMORPGs this game is intended to be played for years, not weeks or even months. People need to accept that although they can head off to a dolmen, Skyreach or wherever and level a character to 50 in a matter of hours, fully developing that character is something else altogether and will take time. Three skills for the price/time of one offers, or achieving something on one character resulting in it being gifted to every other character slot on the account (how long then before demands that it be extended to slots on "linked" accounts?) simply won't wash.

If you only want to do things once, then have a single character - and take your time over it, there's no race involved. If, however, you want to get quick access to the "endgame" then ask for a Crown Store token to give it to you, but don't ask for the game to be dumbed down so that progressing in it over time is replaced by automatic instant gratification for all.

You may argue that it's only the veteran players that this sort of thing would appeal to as they're the ones with the means to pay for it, but isn't it the veteran players who are constantly complaining that the game is already too easy as it is? Having it easy is one thing, trivialising it is something else.

Your argument is moot when someone can just take out their credit card and level their horse in a matter of minutes if they choose.

Parking a character at a stable for 6 months just to level a horse is tedious, stupid, and dumbing down the game experience. What learning curve is there to logging into a character every day for 6 freaking months to click a button and spend 250 gold? Did it really take you weeks to learn how to do that? Pretty sure it only took me one time to learn that.

So I don't play that character for months while waiting to get speed and stamina up to a tolerable level so I can not take an hour to ride anywhere or get dehorsed if a zombie so much as breathes in my direction. I did this with 10+ characters already, I dont think I have anything else to learn about leveling a horse. I already know it's frustrating, boring, tedious and stupid.

We aren't asking for a max character level token. We are asking for a pointless grind to be shortened so we can actually enjoy playing and leveling that character at a reasonable pace.

So you don't play the content until your mount is at max level? I admire your patience.
