Mounts and a Gold Sink

opalcity

So you go to Vivec and you drop in on the stablemaster Drel Trandel, happily feeding his guar. I would like to buy a guar with my hard earned gold, but in his stable all he has are the same three horses you can find everywhere!

So how about updating these basic mounts, and make them more in keeping with local fauna?

We get more variety of mounts, the game gets some gold back.

I'm not talking about flashy shiny radiant mounts, either. I suggest four mounts in total. Two Horses, two local beasts. So in Vivec, Drel will have two horses and two guar (guars?). In Alik'r, the stablemasters will have two horses and two camels. So on and so on.

The first horse is bare basic 50k. The second horse is more expensive and has local livery. Again, nothing fancy, just something to show where its from. Maybe 75k to 100k

Then you've got your guar/camel/bear/ram etc and again a second one, a little more expensive but with local livery.

Could be a good way to make a little gold back, add a little more immersion, and make things less generic. Encourage people to go out and find stables in other cities, too.

And this way, without it being flashy mounts, it won't hurt the crown store/endeavour store.

I was JUST thinking this after reading the radiant mounts at stables thread.

Another reason I'd think this would be appropriate is because we already have things that are available in the crown store that are also accessibly available in game, like vampire bites and cures. Adding basic mounts to that wouldn't seem that bad I think

They need to release at least one two-seater mount to be purchased with gold or ingame activity/event reward (heck make it one of those ugly moose that people obsess over with event tickets). locking the two-seater mounts behind crown store purchase is kind of silly, and i say this as someone who has the ugly two-seater horse.

yessss this would be suuper

Many of the crown store basic mounts are extremely plain with the only tthing that makes them semi-special is that they're non-equine.

So although this idea would be very welcome to all of the player base, it will probably never be considered as it hurts their crown store bottom line.
