Forgive me for the noob question but what does pay to lose mean, looks like these cost real life money, does it go away after a certain time? for over $10 that would suck -
Skullstachio✭✭✭✭✭Well it is the Jesters festival we are talking about so of course the novelty stick mounts are nothing like the real deal.

Tips for how you can be an ESO Community Hero (Written and last edited by ZOS_GinaBruno at precisely 8:56PM, March 30th 2014.)Below are a few recommendations and tips to help you become one of the very best community members — a veritable hero — on The Elder Scrolls Online official community forums. These recommendations and tips also reflect the ESO core community philosophies.- Agree to Disagree: We have a very diverse community of individuals and groups who have a variety of interests, opinions, and backgrounds. Just like in every-day life, you will not agree with all the opinions you encounter here, and that’s okay. It’s perfectly acceptable to disagree, but please do not put other people down for their opinions, ideas, or suggestions. In most discussions, there is no right or wrong, just different angles, opinions, and interests.
- Be Civil and Respectful: Being civil and respectful goes a long way, especially when involved in a heated debate. It is possible to be civil and respectful, even when you strongly disagree with someone. Please remember that everyone on these forums is a real person, like you, who is also here because they love The Elder Scrolls Online and want to talk about it.
- Enjoy Yourself: Have fun, start interesting discussions, and participate in the community activities and discussions that excite you! You, our fans, set the tone and culture of this community. We’re here to listen, help, and foster that growing culture. We want you do enjoy being here as much as we enjoy having you!
- Ignore Baiting: Sometimes, another community member will attempt to bait you into a response. Usually, this is to elicit some sort of negative or emotional reaction. Please try your best to recognize when this is happening, and ignore it. You may also report it to the ESO Team if the post or thread is violating our Code of Conduct.
- Post in the Appropriate Area: Please do your best to post threads in the correct area of the forums. We will move any threads that are posted in the incorrect area, and leave an expiring redirect attached to them. We understand that everyone wants their thread to be seen and gets replies — posting them in the proper section is the best way to make sure that happens.
- Report Violations: If you notice that another community member is violating our Code of Conduct, please report the post and leave it at that. Do not reply, try to correct their behavior yourself, or tell them that you reported them. We understand that our community members are generally just trying to be helpful when they do these things, but they only serve to exacerbate the issue more often than not.
- Share Constructive Criticism: We want to hear your thoughts and feedback on The Elder Scrolls Online, negative and positive alike. Please consider how you are posting criticism. If you want to share suggestions or constructive criticism about The Elder Scrolls Online, please tell us about it. It is possible to be negative, respectful, and constructive at the same time. When submitting feedback, consider whether or not what you’re posting will be something the Dev Team can use to turn into real change — constructive negative feedback can be a powerful tool to help us improve the game. Remember, we really do want your feedback!
- Use the Search Function: Please help us keep discussions as consolidated as possible by using the search function before you create a thread. This will help you to identify if there is already an ongoing discussion about the topic you’re interested in talking about.
- Welcome New Community Members: Please remember that we were all new in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community at one time. Help us foster a welcoming and safe community by being helpful, kind, and considerate to those who are new to our community.
- When in Doubt, Ask: If you’re unsure whether or not something is acceptable post or thread material for the official The Elder Scrolls Online community, please feel free to ask a moderator or member of the ESO Team. Simply send us a message — we’re here to help!
Eso Forum Community Rules. (Adhere to it at all times.)Below is a brief explanation of the community rules and expectations for specific topics and situations. If you have any questions about the Community Code of Conduct, please email The Elder Scrolls Online Team at [email protected]
Abusive Language and Disruptive Behavior: Zenimax do not tolerate abusive language or disruptive behavior on our forums. This goes for abusive and disruptive comments and behavior that are directed at a ZeniMax Online employee and ESO community members alike. Please remember to be respectful and constructive at all times on the forums, and help Zenimax maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all.- Advertising: We do not allow advertising on our forums. This includes, but is not limited to advertisements and promotions for the following:
- Outside businesses and services.
- Other games.
- Any venture that results in monetary profit.
- Bashing and Slanderous Comments: We do not permit the bashing of individuals (including ZeniMax employees), groups, or other companies on our forums. We believe that doing so is neither constructive nor in spirit of our game and community.
- Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation: We do not tolerate the deliberate and malicious spreading of false info or conspiracy theories about ZeniMax Online Studios, its game(s), or its employees. This does not include honest mistakes; rather, this rule pertains to those who go out of their way to spread harmful or malicious rumors about ZeniMax Online Studios and its employees, or The Elder Scrolls Online.
- Copyright Infringement: Names and Material: We do not allow copyright-protected names on our forums. Copyright-protected names are typically from well-known original characters in books, games, and movies. We also do not permit discussion about the illegal distribution or use of copyrighted material, such as private game servers or pirated movies, music, and games.
- Cursing and Profanity: Purposefully circumventing our forum profanity filter or otherwise cursing or using profanity is not permitted on our forums. Our forums have a profanity filter in place for the purpose of keeping profanity off our forums — please help us keep the ESO community constructive and profanity-free by respecting that filter.
- Demands and Threats: We encourage you to share feedback, suggestion, and requests with us, but we expect all of our community members to refrain from resorting to demands or threats. We believe that demands and threats are not constructive. Threats of real-life violence, in particular, are something we take very seriously and do not tolerate in the ESO community.
- Deliberately Disobeying a ZeniMax Online Employee: Deliberately disobeying a request or action by a member of the ZeniMax Online Studios/ESO Team is not permitted at any time. As an example, if we close a thread you created and leave an explanation stating why it was closed, you may not re-create the thread.
- Discussing Disciplinary Actions: If you ever have questions or concerns about a disciplinary action or decision we have made on the ESO forums, or wish to appeal a forum warning or infraction you’ve received, we ask that you please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to do so (please specify that you are contacting about a forum-related inquiry or appeal). We are happy to discuss and review specific moderation-related actions with you, but we do not allow discussion of any moderation actions or decisions on our forums. If you have questions or concerns about an in-game disciplinary action, please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to ask about a suspension or ban, and any other support-related feedback. We cannot assist with in-game violations on the forums.
- Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
- Goodbye/Quitting Threads: We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.
- Hate Speech: We take the use of hate speech very seriously in the official ESO community, and have a zero tolerance policy. Our definition of hate speech is prejudice or hateful comments, slurs, or statements that promote violence or intolerance toward others because of the following:
- Race.
- Creed.
- Color.
- National Origin.
- Gender.
- Age.
- Disability.
- Sexual Orientation.
- Lifestyle.
- Any other personally identifying factors.
- Impersonation: We do not tolerate impersonation of any kind in the official ESO community, and take impersonation attempts very seriously when they do occur. Impersonation includes using a display name, photos, posts, or any other material with the intent to fool people into believing you are a ZeniMax Online Studios employee, another community member, a celebrity, or anyone else you are not.
- Inappropriate Content and Language: Certain topics and subjects are deemed inappropriate and not permitted on the official ESO forums. Things that we consider inappropriate are usually illegal, extremely volatile or violent, obscene, vulgar, or simply inappropriate for an official game forum such as ours. Inappropriate content on the ESO forums includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Extreme violence
- Illegal substances and activities
- Pirated copyright-protected material
- Pornography and other sexually explicit topics
- Real-world religion and politics
- Tasteless, vulgar, or obscene material
- Malicious Links: We do not tolerate the posting of malicious links on our forums, for any reason. This includes links to pornographic material, key-loggers, and browser hijackers, but also includes links to private game server sites, phishing scams, and sites that sell in-game currencies and power-leveling services.
We greatly appreciate when our community members wish to report a harmful or misleading ESO-related site to us, but please do not do so on the official ESO forums. If you discover a site you want to report to us, please report them at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/. - Names in Thread Titles: Please refrain from placing the names of ZeniMax Online Studios employees or ESO community members in your thread titles. Directing a thread at a specific individual, or otherwise using a thread to call someone out, is not considered constructive. If you need to get a hold of a specific community member, please send them a private message.
- Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
- Personal Information: For the sake of your own identity protection and personal privacy, we ask that you please do not share any personal information in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. This also goes for sharing another community member’s personal information — doing so is not only considered malicious behavior, but it is a violation of our Terms of Service and something we take very seriously.
- Petitions and Protests: We do not allow petitions or protests on our forums. Due to the fact that both promote the use of demands and replies that consist of “/signed” or little else, we feel that neither encourage nor allow for meaningful and constructive discussion. Instead of using a petition or protest, we recommend presenting your thoughts as a request or suggestion so everyone in the community can discuss it.
- Role-Play/Fan Fiction God Modding: We support the fan fiction and role-playing communities on the ESO forum, and ask that you please respect your fellow writers and role-players by not “god modding.” God modding is the act of forcing another community member’s character into a situation they have not agreed to. If you wish to involve another person's character in a story or role-play scenario, please respect that individual’s wishes and get their permission first. Failure to do so is considered “god modding,” and is not allowed on the ESO forums.
- Rude and Insulting Comments/Commentary: We understand that sometimes tempers rise, but it is never acceptable to resort to rude comments and insults. This goes for rude comments and insults directed at other community members, and ZeniMax Online Studios employees alike.
- Selling, Trading, and Sharing Game Accounts: The act of selling, trading, or sharing your ESO account is a violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we also do not allow discussion about selling, trading, or sharing game accounts on our forums.
- Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
- Posting the same message more than once.
- Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content.
- Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation.
- Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team.
- Thread Bumping: Please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!”
- Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

mayasunrising✭✭✭✭✭I've very happy with mine. I bought it through Tamriel Crown Exchange and it was well worth the gold I spent on it. I think it's freakin' hysterical.
I just don't know what to tell folks who didn't read the tool tip before buying AND thought that any mount would ever be worth only 900 crown. :P Personally, I didn't even expect it to have the hella funny galloping animation, I thought I'd just be running on it. And then the sound it makes when you jump, and the little bow. SOOOO adorable.
Thank you to whomever at ZOS thought these up and worked on them!

It’s a gag. The broom and bucket and the stick mounts go under that category because they intentionally make you less powerful for laughs. The bottom and bucket you equip as weapons but they do next to no damage.
The stick mount you equip as a mount but you lose your mount speed.
So essentially your buying these things to lose. But they are designed to just be a bit of fun. Really wish they made them real mounts though, would be hilarious seeing those things all over the place. -
norrisnick✭✭✭Yeah I get that. Still It’s a pity they didn’t make it a proper mount, would of sold like candy. Would of been brilliant.
It DID sell like candy. Everyone in my guild that was online bought one once they figured out how hilariously dumb but awesome the stick horse is. We then had an impromptu HRC dagger run and there were 6 of us (the pugs didn't participate) "riding" sticks into glorious battle.
Must have been lucky too as there were 2 AY daggers (and 2 swords, an axe, and a great sword) and an IA shock stick in group!
Edited by norrisnick on March 22, 2019 11:05AM -
macsmooth✭✭✭✭I don’t know if this has been specified or not, so just a heads up about these in case it hasn’t. They are not real mounts. You equip it as a mount, but you don’t have any mount speed or anything, your just walking and sprinting normally as if your not on a mount, except with a funny looking stick between your legs, when you sprint, your character doesn’t even use it, it carries it over its shoulder and runs.
So if you buy this expecting it to function like a proper mount, you’ll be mistaken.
Thank you for the heads up I was thinking of getting one but I won’t be now thank you and shame on Zos for scamming people out of real money by not being very clear about it on the webpage
-
norrisnick✭✭✭The webpage is essentially an advertisement to increase.interest. The point of sale they were very clear.
ZOS exists to sell us things. They do a pretty good job of it. There is no one thing that is for everyone, but they do a good job of trying to make something for everyone.
The stick mounts and rock, IMO, are the perfect level of whimsy. Not for everyone, but a LOT of people do enjoy them. -

Yes, it behaves as a mount with the exception of trained speed. -
Loralai_907✭✭✭✭✭
✭@mommadani907
It is NOT sold under the MOUNT's tab in the crown store, but sold under "PAY TO LOSE" tab in the Crown store.
It has a few different mechanics compared to a normal ESO Mount.
Riding Skill has no influence over it's speed, it runs as fast as your character can run without a horse.
However if you Sprint while using it, it will use Mount Stamina,
While sprinting you're character is shown carrying it rather then riding it. Walking and Running will show your character riding it.
You WILL keep your advanced Carrying Capacity Slots
It will unmount in places where you can't normally mount.
When using the key for the Mount display (rearing for Horses, roaring for Senches, Wolfs and Bears, Spitting for camels)
your character will make a bow while mounted on the Novelty Stick Mount.
When running and using that key, your character will simulate the Mount's sound (a horses neighing for example).
Thank you

I actually love how lame it is. Isn’t that kinda the point? But then I read the text and was aware of how it functions before buying. I love that when you jump your character makes horse noises lmao -

Agreed, it's a *** ripoff and people who support this via realism is really stupid too, realism and immersion went out the window when lava wolves and horses made of lightning and sticks showed up, a stick mount wouldn't have hurt anything and in fact would have been so much fun.
There would probably be a lot of people, myself included, who would have a 'joke' character who just used the joke items, the style pages, the mount, the pebble pal and such. I was going to buy it all personally for this purpose to goof around with, but with the mount the way it is it's kinda pointless to make a joke character but have to use a normal mount.
The difference between a Lava Wolf and a Stick Horse/Guar being that you're actually riding the Wolf, which by all means is living and its own being, and with the stick mounts you're essentially running with a pole. You shouldn't have expected the stick mounts to benefit from the riding speed increases in the first place. That's simple common sense.
And also, you not thinking of how the stick mount would actually operate doesn't make it a ripoff if you bought it. You're the one who spent their money and you were not happy with what you got, and therefore it's completely your fault that your money is gone.
You argue that realism and immersion have been thrown out the window due to things like Lava Wolves and Horses made of Lightning but I would argue that they actually support the already established continuity of the series, as they are essentially Atronachs that have taken form as the mounts in question. The Stick mounts are not Atronachs. They were never said to be anything other than Sticks.

When you are stealing Princess the Pig at Ebonheart, the stick mount give you unlimited unmounted sprint.
It was thank to Sticky McStickerson that I was able to so easily dodge the owner and get the title.
