    This is the first legitimate argument I have heard on this forum.
    Yeah this is my only complaint about this, too. I don't mind that it is expensive, I just would have preferred some longer notice of the price so I could have budgeted to get this. And because it's limited, I won't be able to.

    How is it bragging rights when everyone else can guy it too?
    The Striped Sensche,which was given to only beta players, is a bragging rights item because it was only for one thing.Not something bought in the crown store.
    Or,buying a mount ingame with earned gold,not crowns.Whenever I see someone riding a horse that isnt and never was in the Crown store,I smile because I know they earned that mount. Something to be proud of kinda.

    You made a mistake, only Monkey was given to beta testers

    As for Senche, I've bought it anyway :p I've been saving money for a beautiful mount like this

    Btw I think it's actually not bad that they made such high price. Otherwise you'd see almost everyone riding those Senches. :#

    Something doesn't sit right with me about this 'it's good because other people won't have it" argument. It's elitist to the core. C' mon, didn't you all learn it's important to share.

    Eh, it is too expensive in my opinion....and that's why I'm not going to buy it. It kind of makes me sad but in the end it just isn't worth that much.

    That is a perfectly rational reason not to get it, as opposed to attacking a company for being "greedy".

    Wow, 9 pages? If you think its too expensive.. then don't buy it.. I personally thought it looked awesome and forked over 4k crowns without a second thought.

    Way too expensive. No way a mount is worth 4000 crowns, in my opinion. Not buying one.

    Look at my mount, my mount is amazing. Give it a lick. Mmm, it tastes just like raisins. Have a stroke of its mane, it turns into a plane and turns back again when you tug on its winky.

    Just to add unless I can galop with my own legs with a person close behind banging coconuts together your not making me pay 4000 crowns for a mount.

    Guys, when a buyer thinks he buys something cheaper than it is and the seller thinks he sells it more expensive than it is a transaction is born. And only then.

    I wouldn't give that much for this mount but that's just my opinion. Some people may think its a bargain :)
    When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
    What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
    For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
    O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

    Ha if it was 10000 crowns I would have bought it. I'm very proud to spend money in a game I love so much.
    That's $100, that is just sad if you would spend that on a game.

    Meh... I would gladly pay $120 for a HD remaster of Skyrim with the three dlcs included...

    People need to understand that 100$ is not much money for some people. On a night out here in Munich you easily spend 100$, and the morning after you regret it much more than spending 4k crowns on a mount.

    If this mount helps ZOS to keep the game running, then why not? They are just starting with 4k, milk the impatient and then offer a similar one for less in a couple of months.

    I saw the announcement that the senche was available, started the character login process wondering what price they put on it. It has now been half an hour, I've read my way through NINE FRIGGING FORUM PAGES about the gargantuan price they put on the senche mount, and...

    I'm STILL waiting for the character to log in!

    The game is becoming utter bull with these unlorefriendly mounts anyway.

    It is too flashy for my tastes, but this senche mount is from ESO lore...
    Who said I was talking about the Senche? and it not just some of the mounts but several pets are as well, the blue oasis frog for example, how in the world can it breath Cold Fire? unless the creature came from the realm of the Cold-flame atronachs which is unlikely, also the "High Hrothgar" Wraith is utter bull as well, For one I don't recall seeing any Ice Wraiths near High Hrothgar and two...Its an Ice Spirit.

    What I mean't was I didn't mind the price but any more would be a bit much. It supports the game but I don't want them taking the pee, which IMO this is on the border of.

    During one of the 40% crown price drops I bought enough crowns to get me to 6k. I havent spent any of it, and have no DLC. I'm more of a casual and progress slowly over several characters.

    It really hurts my gut to buy this at the price that it is, but I really wanted this particular mount when I saw one of the leaked crown store pages.

    As much as I also wanted a wolf mount reskin somewhere down the line, I believe I'm going to have to skip on those because of how much I'll be paying for this one mount.
