Anyone else sick of 25$ mounts?

WalksonGraves · October 2016

How zos justifies selling cosmetic items more expensive than dlc is a mystery. Be nice to be qble to actually buy something without feeling like an idiot for spending that much money on a bauble. 10$ should be the cap for cosmetics. I want that zombie horse about as bad as I wanted the black camel but what holds me back is how I view players that bought the glowing tiger mount: fools who wasted their money.

It's a business and you're not entitled to cosmetic items.
You want them, pay their price.

Sigtric · October 2016

Who are you to judge what people do with their money?

Voxicity · October 2016

If ZOS didn't sell such cosmetic items at a higher price, then one of two things would happen.

1) ZOS increases the price of DLC
2) ZOS sells things in the store that are pay2win

Both of those scenarios would be terrible, and I'd much rather have higher priced cosmetic fluff items than higher costing DLC or pay2win

And on a side note I bought the dro mathra senche and never regretted it. As I don't subscribe, I see it as an extra payment to ZOS as a thank you, plus it looks bad ass

DeadlyRecluse · October 2016

I don't buy them, but someone does. I assume ZOS has done their market research and is pricing things in such a way to keep the doors open.

I don't complain about that.

People with no concept of the value of money are a product of coddling.

Call me a fool if you want but at least I am not riding around on a basic mount like a filthy peasant.

Or maybe they just have expendable income. Jealous much?

I guess you don't pvp, the dro mathra is a giant neon "come kill me" sign.

How about don't buy them? There's literally no problem here.

Can we charge at each other on our Dromathra senche and drop money behind us as we ride towards death and glory?

I would but I'm on EU and you're on NA. I'm sure I could throw a few thousand $ ZOS' way for them to transfer me over though

Kas · October 2016

np here. like the mounts i already have. love that dota2 is completely free and makes tons of money (and is thus developed and managed very well) because some people spend tens of thousands of dollars on hats. i don't need cosmetics, i'm super happy if a game i play does well because others throw money at shiny things

bah!

oh well. No, save all that money for more $25 mounts!

Runs · October 2016

ZOS is sick of them too, thus the crown crates. If you thought 25$ was bad...

No one really has to buy a mount with crowns - to begin with, the standard horse for 10k gold is as good as any other mount. so it is purely a cosmetic thing, to own a crown mount or several. See it as a neat add-on, which someone can buy, if he/she really thinks he/she cannot live without it, even for a higher price. If the quality is good, then why not. I am just against highly priced mounts, which are not well done - I cannot really think of one yet, guess I liked most of them. Same goes for pets, no one really needs pets in this game, they are just following you around. But still it can be nice to have one or the other.

So in the end it comes down to this - if you really want it, even for a higher price, then go for it - otherwise ignore it. No one is ripped off with it - they know the price in advance and what they will get - what is not the case with crown store RNG crates. I hope they will never get to the live servers ever, because those are clearly a rip off.

I'm afraid this sounds more like a you problem than a ZOS problem, OP.

In all MMO's, there's cosmetics for sale and the prices around here are pretty much in line with every other company out there.

People can spend their hard earned money however they wish, and they can spend their expendable income however they want to. I've only personally gotten one crown store mount (wolf) but that was out of my monthly crown allotment for my sub.

But if people wanna spend £25 on a mount, it's absolutely their porogative to do so.

Game should have remaind subscription+purchasable dlc to begin with imo.

If you find enjoyment in it, I don't think you can say the money was wasted.
That goes for expensive cosmetic too. There are a few cosmetic options that would severally improve my enjoyment of the game if they were added, and I wouldn't mind paying for that (through direct purchase, of course, not gambling).

I would have preferred this too, but it's changed now, no going back.

It's still a fun game and I have the money to buy an expensive mount every now and again with no issue, soooooooo why not?

So basically exactly how it is now except no crown store?

So a huge chunk of ZOS' income gone?

So they have to lay people off and cut back on updates/fixes?

Yeah I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one mate

MissBizz · October 2016

Did a new mount get released today? Thought the horse was later this month?

I'm one of those fools, don't wanna miss something.

I always wonder about people, who think that buying a game is waste of money. You buy something, what entertains you and you get far more entertainment out of it than having a couple of pints in a pub or going to the movies. And in an MMO you might even meet people, where you would never have a chance to meet them in any other way - from countries, which you might eventually never visit in your whole life. You might even establish friendships with them, which go far beyond the game. I have a couple of such friendships, which started in a game, but even both sides do not play this game anymore, we are still friends and have email contact and some I even met in real life later on. People I would have never met without a game.

Mic1007 · October 2016

What people do with their money is completely up to them. Some people spend thousands of dollars on things like restaurants and parties and vacations, and no one bats an eye. Others spend it on video games.

Rexx · October 2016

If you like it then buy it. If you don't then don't. Personally, the basic horse mounts in game get the job done. Im not here for cosmetics. Posers vs Hosers. What side of the fence are you on?

Oreyn_Bearclaw · October 2016

Fool? Sorry but a Khajiit in Dro-m'Athra armor, wearing a Dro-m'Athra skin, on a Dro-m'Athra mount looks about as awesome as you can get. What else should I do with my saved up crowns from subscribing? Buy crown potions?

Nestor · October 2016

I have only bought one expensive Mount, a Guar, because of Rollie the Guar in Morrowind. You really get to a Guar doing that quest.

Anyway, do like me, vote with your wallet. If you really want it, buy it when it goes on sale, if it goes on sale.
