They want 1000 Crowns for a mesh made with minimal effort. It's hilarious! The Squid Beard uses the Handlebar Mustache. They couldn't even do 100% new mesh for the limited release...
I know pricing and value are very subjective, and much of mine is based on the amount of work that went into something... but this, to me, is just silly. I want whatever the marketing department is on, because that must be some good skooma.

✭Why do you expect them to reinvent the wheel, when the handlebar mustache works perfectly with the curly style of the beard?
It sounds like the price is based on desirability. Flashy, unique facial hair only in the store for a weekend = Highly Desirable. It's up to each buyer to decide for themselves whether it's worth the price tag.
What I'm saying is "Hornswoggled" is a bit of an exaggeration, no matter how perfectly that word choice matches the tone of that beard.
Living vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

✭You've been smeckledorfed.
To be fair, though, you had the ability to preview it, so you could just choose to not spend your crowns. I thought 4500 crowns for the elk was beyond ridiculous, so passed on it - shame, because I wanted it, but I can live without it.4 -

This exactly. I wanted it for my Nord DK but 32.73 real world dollars for a mount is really unnecessary.
I too am having no problems living without it.
Edit: My math was a little off.
Even at the best crown sale price, $21.27 is still OP.

✭✭✭✭I didn't actually buy it. I was just looking forward to it for it's time on PTS, and found it's release to be comical. I don't expect them to reinvent the wheel every time, but I do wish they would be a bit more reasonable.
I was also looking forward to the Elk mount, I have a character named The Monarch Elk. Sadly there is no cool animations, or even additional pieces for the mount upgrades. Like others, I felt it wasn't a 4500 crown value and have lost nothing by not picking it up. The Squid Beard will fall into that same category.
The title was just to have something fun and not overly serious, denoting an overtone for the thread.1 -
MyrkrSoul ShrivenIt'd be nice if the prices of all cash shop things dropped, yet people pay for them so any company wouldn't change. Unfortunately, Z tends to have a few more problems as a company than other companies I'm used to...not that they were angels. Money grubbing is not a trait I like to see in a company for a game that requires a subscription to be virtually playable (craft mat bags, that are currently broken). Hair and facial hair of the quality in the cash shop should be included in an in-game barber for gold. If it sparkles or has an aura, then cash shop makes sense.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Look at it this way. It's listed as a goatee. That part is new. You're getting the crappy mustache portion as an added bonus!

Mercutio✭✭✭✭1000 crowns may seem like a lot, but when the next one is only 800 you'll feel like you're getting a bargain!The problem with arguing with a jackass is that they never stop braying.
