I dont see the problem, its only cosmetic so if you think the crowns are worth it buy the mount, if you think its too expensive then dont buy it.

Agreed, if the price offends you then do not buy it. That is the best way to send your message.

However, those that do like the mount will buy it. BTW, people forget that it takes a tremendous amount of capital to create and support a game like this, so this will help support the continuation of the game. Its continued support is something that I can get behind.

Extravagant mounts are more expensive. That's the way it works. I'm pretty sure it's the same price as the other senche from April.

A Maserati Grancabrio had my interest....untill I heard it cost over 150.000 euro/usd

it is an exclusive mount, while (contrary to the car) most people can pay, it not everyone is willing to pay that amount of money. It is what keeps it exclusive!

Be thankful you don't play wow then you can pay upto £25 for a mount.

What he said.

I dont mind the price, it's still cheap, when you compare to what we gave for our WoW mounts. Yes, i use to play WoW and had bought all of those mounts, but, that is all in the past and im not playing that any more, 10 years was enough for me.

Now im back here, just returned after a break

TL;DR: My mom won't buy it for me.

i guess I didn't express myself completely and in a better choice of words to express my point.

Clearly some of you assume Im a greedy little child. I am well over 21, hold a full time job and take care of my wife and child.

That said..

I guess most of you all that use the forums disagree with my sentiment that they should think more about the people who still want to stay subbed. I put in the money every month to support the game I care to play.

They purposefully want me to spend more money than that every month. Naturally. They are a business.

However, they are showing though many routes that they don't really care about the game. With all the flaws and money grabbing techniques Those of us that are still subbed are getting snubbed repeatedly by these little things over and over.

Things like the crown price of the "new mount skin" are a fine example of their lack of finesse in dealing with us that still are subbed. They should at least make it the price of a monthly sub not more than.

I love how people can "get behind" support of the game if it's in the form of a 25 dollar mount purchase but if it's a 12.99 monthly sub it's "OMG OUTRAGEOUS HOW DARE ANYONE CHARGE THAT!? DOWN WITH ALL THE SUBS!11" The cost of that mount is basically two months of a normal sub..for a single mount. I will never understand why people prefer this type of piecemeal gouging and inequity over the equitable sub price where everyone gets everything for the same nominal amount.

To the OP I agree. I was mildly interested in the mount but of course I have 2300 crowns leftover from my sub that is now canceled and I have no plan to buy any more crowns so I won't be getting it I guess. It's probably better this way because I think I will view anyone I see on that mount as just another person to fall prey to the silly marketing gimmicks that are being passed off as content and I'm not really eager to join that club (even if that isn't really an accurate or fair assessment).

I'm one of those cheap asses that never played with a sub. And yeah, I know you didnt say so, but in between the lines, that is what you call me.

Now let me explain why I'll never pay a sub for a game.
Reason 1: many subbed games have been aiming to get and keep people addicted. On itself it is not the company's fault nor responsability, they should consider not working with that goal from a moral point of view.
Reason 2: I don't have a stable income. sometimes my income is high (and my time to play is low or even non-existing). sometimes money is low and I got plenty of time to play. Now I want to play when I goti the time, not when I got the money. further. when I invest in the company I want to buy stuff that I can enjoy when I have time to play. All in all I'm paying more on games then the average monthly fee, but just not stable.

To me, those who are saying that an exclusive mount should not cost more then the 1500 crowns a subber gets per month is much more cheap then the person who actually buys the mount for the current price, but refuses to pay subs ever!

I mean this in a respectfull way. My tone is intended with the purpose of showing my agetation with your standing against people who don't sub. Those people are human too and we all support ESO in the way we feel is best.

Ow and to be honest, even if I had a stable income, I wouldn't take the sub. Just cause the offer is bad. The 10% boost is useless to me. The free DLC's is currently non-existing, and the amount of crowns given is lower then what you can buy directly in the store for that price.

So, let me get this straight, you think that in addition to the bonuses you get for being an ESO Plus member you should also be able to purchase every limited mount released with the crowns you're given? That's hilariously ... what's the word for when someone believes something that has no earthly chance of ever happening? Stupid? No no. I'll come back to you.

In their defense on this at least... there aren't really benefits worth keeping the 15/mo for now. I have bought both limited mounts but the hard thing I had to learn is.. your crowns cant always save in time of the "limited" gateway, which forces you to put more cash in for crowns to get that limited mount.. All honesty I had to cancel the monthly because 10% and the 1500 crowns are the only benefit of it, but if the 1500 crowns don't come in time, its more beneficial at the moment to just save cash until something you want pops up, instead of a sub.

I know it's somewhat off topic (totally agree with you, the price for mounts is absurd, and the "limited time only" crap makes me roll my eyes every time they try to play that card), but the correct spelling is ridiculous.

Normally the grammar troll in me stays dormant, but it's the thread title, and it's one word... I had to.

Thanks

I don't see the point in getting worked up over virtual gear. They need to make money to develop things. It is a business, and people will buy it.

I got a loyalty tiger mount, No need of another one.

I think what bothers people is not the price but more so that it's limited and if you miss it you will never get it again. Or they lead you to believe you wont so you will buy it right then.
