.....it's literally the same exact model as the old one but the top is colored blue.
The extra 1,000 crowns is because of the small amount of painted blue?!?!?!

✭You expect them to be reasonable and not rip us off?
It's great for me, though. I probably wouldn't pay for this even if it were more reasonably priced at 1800-2000 crowns because I hate these crappy Dwarven machine mounts. But the higher they make these prices, the less tempted I am to buy them. So good on them for managing my spending for me!Edited by ThePrinceOfBargains on August 31, 2017 5:21PM26 -

I'll be sticking with my regular speeder.9 -

✭✭Excellent that's 6,200 crowns that I would have spent and instead have saved on mounts just this month thanks to their escalation of crown crate super uber extra mega rare mounts.
At this rate that will be over 70,000 crowns in a year and that's not counting the actual ones I'll save not buying crates next time around

✭✭I'll stick with the original model - it matches everything.
I might have considered the new one too if there were additional features. The dwarven spider is a lot of fun to ride.

✭But don't you know that it's a rarest of all Dwarven Spider vamidiums and is powered by gem that emit a cold blue light, said to reflect the frigid stolen soul of the Dwemer engineer trapped within it? That's changes everything for me, take my crowns! Thank Sithis I don't like dwemer mounts, I would rather buy adventurer pack for 1900 crowns only to get Bantam Guar.PC/EU6 -

✭✭✭✭✭It took the art department almost a full minute to pull up the file for that mount and select the part to be colored blue. You don't expect them to work for free, do you?21 -

✭✭✭✭✭I think most of the people buying this are the people who missed the 3K crown version. This is their second chance. Only 1K more (probably still cheaper than trying for it in a future gamble crate season) and as a consolation for that 1K late fee, they get some blue paint.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

LordSkyKnight✭✭✭✭✭I don't know which is more humorous. The fact that they are charging 4K for it or the fact that there are people out there that will actually pay for it."And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

@Ihatenightblades Here is the reason!Rarest of all Dwarven Spider vamidiums are those powered by gems that emit a cold blue light, said to reflect the frigid stolen soul of the Dwemer engineer trapped within it.

✭If I see an item in the Crown Store with a price tag I feel is way out of line I just don't buy it. The Chroma-Blue Dwarven Spider Mount for 4000 crowns seems to be a good example. However, there is no sense complaining about it ZOS will not change the price.1 -
Ir0nB34r✭✭✭Guys, I have been searching EVERYWHERE trying to find exactly where it says that you have to purchase these.. Can someone help me find it? Maybe you, OP?
Or perhaps I am simply confused.. Through context, it seems that you are required to purchase it since people are claiming they are being ripped off. In which case, I would be upset too if I HAD to purchase something that was more expensive than another thing, but in a different color. Or maybe its because you thought it would be faster than every other mount? Did they advertise that it was? Was it the wrong shade of blue than what they advertised?
People say ZOS is ripping them off. This implies that they cheated or exploited you. I am not sure how offering a non-essential, cosmetic item could be seen as ripping people off. They could charge 10,000 crowns for all I care.
They do not owe you this mount. You are not required to buy it. You neither lose or gain anything whether you own it or not. You are not being ripped off. Get over it.[XBOX][NA]

✭✭✭✭✭I like my regular dwemer spider mount and prefer it over the blue one. It's a lot easier to match something monochrome with my outfit than to try to tie the vibrant blue glow in somehow. Still, I'm sure there's a market for it. Maybe it's expensive because they know fewer people will want to buy it?Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

iiYuki✭✭✭✭✭Thankfully I dislike dwarven mounts due to the horrible screeching clanking noise they make when sprinting. I like the dragonfly though.
They sell them at high prices to get people who want the limited time mount as its more exclusive. Thankfully every decent looking mount is store bought so there is no exclusivity there for me personally since I tend to be pretty bad with buying stuff labeled as "limited"."Play how you want... unless its not how we intended you to play in which case we'll nerf it".
