Limited Frost Mare Mount Available in the Crown Store

TreeHugginHippieSoul ShrivenMissed this beauty by a few hours on the day they took it down. Wonder when or if we'll ever see it up in the crown store again? Might be wishful thinking on my part. Any input on this? @ZOS_GinaBruno1 -

We are now rolling out the Frost Mare mount to the PC/Mac and console Crown Stores, which will be available for a limited time only. With its icy gaze and steaming breath, the frigid Frost Mare seems carved from the very glaciers of Skyrim. Its exact origin is unknown, but the Mages Guild believes it may originally have come from Takubar, the plane of origin of Cold Flame Atronachs.
You can purchase your very own Frost Mare today until July 7th at 10:00AM EDT for 3000 crowns.
I started playing after this was offered. Are you going to bring the frost mare back for the holiday season? I asked in game and everyone laughed and said ESO would never bring it back... But I know so many who would be happy to pay 3k crowns!!! Me included
I thought maybe it would be offered over Christmas since it is an horse made of ice 
But sadly a panther and leopard were offered 
Do you know when they might put the frost mare back up for sale? If what the players who mock me say is true, then it is a wasted opportunity. So many want to buy it especially around the holidays when we are lacking snow! We need the frost mare!!! 2 -
ZeniMax, your marketing department needs a refresher in the basics of making a sale.
Marketing 101: Excessive overpricing results in far fewer transactions, wasting the company resources applied to create the product. Worse yet, it alienates previously devoted customers. Overpricing is simply bad business.
The company's target should be to create as much profit as possible from each asset in the cash shop, not to squeeze as much as possible out of each transaction.
If ZeniMax wants to actually make real money on items like this, they need to price them below the bar set by other MMOs. Lower pricing results in a remarkable increase in total revenue, and a committed player base.
Direct feedback: Even though we like it, my Wife and I will not be buying this mount. We are also heavily reconsidering our sub, since the only thing of value we get from it is Crowns, now totalling only 1/2 the value of the "Mount of the month".
Sincerely,
~GTech_1
I can not believe so many thought it was too expensive. It is a beautiful ice horse that comes with all riding skills? I would have jumped at the chance to buy it if I had been playing at the time.0 -

Do you think that the frost mare will be brought back any time soon? It is not right if the chance for anyone to buy it was destroyed by peoples comments...

I'm not sure what you mean by "comes with all riding skills", but the Frost Mare (and every other mount) uses your character's current Riding skill.StarWhispers wrote: »ZeniMax, your marketing department needs a refresher in the basics of making a sale.

Yes. It will be back. Though probably not for at least several months. I would guess it will be available again towards the end of spring / beginning of summer.0 -

I agree with that. There are so many "new" players that have joined the game after the availability period of the Frost Mare (which was a half year ago) and really want to buy it now, that this mount should be introduced to the crown store once again even for one or two days (to keep its "exclusivity"), of course for the same amount of crowns as previously (which was already really expensive back then).
@ZOS_GinaBruno can we expect to see the Frost Mare back soon? It would be perfect for the winter season...
