    3600 is way to high, idk how you can say buyers set the market here thats just a joke when there are no other options. They should have made it a skin for all mounts not just 1.

    This seems to be about the Ebon Steel Dwarven Spider. Seems they want to keep it rare.

    I am surprised about the price. I hoped we were going to get good deals for being subscribers with the new exclusive offers, but that doesn't look like it.

    If those extra-special looks aren't worth it for you... don't buy it.
    Problem solved.

    But look at how many "reskin" are sold for high prices, for a limited time, in the mounts department. Its nothing new, really... and as long as enough people pay that price, the powers that be at ZOS will have no reason at all to not price all the reskinned mounts in that range.
    Been like that since the early days of the crown store, and will be like that until they shut down the severs I reckon.

    Flashy mounts are a cosmetic luxury. They're priced high.

    (and no, I don't buy them. Just like I don't buy $500 pre-ripped jeans, or sneakers with a sports-player's name on them.)

    I got one in the free Psijic Crown Crates awhile ago. I believe they could also be purchased for 100 Crown Gems.

    you realize this game doesn't run on goodwill and handouts, ZOS is a business and needs to make money to keep the game going and chugging out updates, DLC's, and expansions. No Bucks No Buck Rogers

    People realize this.
    However there is a difference between reasonable price and price gouging which is a fine line that is different for everyone.

    With so many fantastic mounts available for gold, for little-effort achievements, from free crown crates (possible, I got 4 top mounts just by doing free crates), for twitch watching of E3 and other Bethesda shows, community Summerset efforts, Morrowind, now Indrik mount soon to be available...

    .. and people STILL complain. Like, yeah, if it's expensive don't buy it. But you do get *plenty* of fantastic mounts for free.

    That was the special Chroma blue version. Starlock is referring to this one: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/dwarven-spider-mount/

    So, yes 3000 Crowns, or 100 Crown Gems.

    The original was 3,000 crowns, yes, but the reskinned one with blue lights was 4,000 crowns. So, 3,600 crowns is the ESO+ discounted price? So, just a 10% discount, as I suspected. Well, it'll be 4,000 crowns next month for everyone, so if you do want it, you save 400 crowns.

    I had already decided to pass on it, since I purchased the original and had already passed on the blue-light special. I'm guessing then, that the costume later this month will be at least 2,000 crowns (like the hero costumes) and then discounted to 1,800 crowns for ESO+ members.

    However there is a difference between reasonable price and price gouging which is a fine line that is different for everyone.

    Price gouging almost always refers to an essential commodity.

    I doubt any reasonable person would consider a digital mount in a video game as essential. No fine line here at all. Completely black and white.

    Well the price is just too high for me . I rather go to a restaurant with my girlfriend for that money. 5-10 euros for a mount would have been okay .

    I agree this is greedy, but as much as I hate to say it the market drives the price, so if players are buying at that price, ZOS has no issue with overcharging. Want to stop that? Don't buy it. Wait for price to drop or when it goes on sale.
