✭Ive been saying it for a while, can we get a mount that is something different than a reskin of something we have already gotten? Okay like a couple reskins here and there, but its stupid to reskin a current mount 100 times. At this point id be very impressed if ZOS made a two humped (bactrian) camel instead of another reskinned dromedary camel(one hump camels).
Ive lost count how many reskinned guars have been madeEdited by rexagamemnon on November 13, 2018 5:02PM5 -

✭✭✭Buyers set the prices in a free market. So who’s being greedy here?
Zenimax, since they set the prices regardless of how people feel.

Ramber✭✭✭✭3600 is way to high, idk how you can say buyers set the market here thats just a joke when there are no other options. They should have made it a skin for all mounts not just 1.2

qbit✭✭✭✭✭Lol, you all can quit buying the crap and they will lower prices accordingly. The reactions to my comment above are absurd. Bunch of consumerists that complain about prices while handing money over. It’s high school economics. Not sure if they still teach it.8

jlmurra2✭✭✭✭✭This seems to be about the Ebon Steel Dwarven Spider. Seems they want to keep it rare.
I am surprised about the price. I hoped we were going to get good deals for being subscribers with the new exclusive offers, but that doesn't look like it.Edited by jlmurra2 on November 13, 2018 5:15PM4 -

If those extra-special looks aren't worth it for you... don't buy it.
Problem solved.
But look at how many "reskin" are sold for high prices, for a limited time, in the mounts department. Its nothing new, really... and as long as enough people pay that price, the powers that be at ZOS will have no reason at all to not price all the reskinned mounts in that range.
Been like that since the early days of the crown store, and will be like that until they shut down the severs I reckon.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Flashy mounts are a cosmetic luxury. They're priced high.
(and no, I don't buy them. Just like I don't buy $500 pre-ripped jeans, or sneakers with a sports-player's name on them.)Edited by Kiralyn2000 on November 13, 2018 5:19PM4 -

you realize this game doesn't run on goodwill and handouts, ZOS is a business and needs to make money to keep the game going and chugging out updates, DLC's, and expansions.

People realize this.
However there is a difference between reasonable price and price gouging which is a fine line that is different for everyone.Beta tester November 20133 -

Why you still play this game maybe try Destiny 2 its free if you download till 18 November (for always) maybe you will like the grind...Edited by Malmai on November 13, 2018 5:34PM0 -
qbit✭✭✭✭✭Eliminate the unlimited-time paid-demo mode and make everyone buy a subscription, and crown store prices would probably come down. Make a subscription a requirement for posting to the forum and a lot of stupidity will leave the forums as well.5

✭With so many fantastic mounts available for gold, for little-effort achievements, from free crown crates (possible, I got 4 top mounts just by doing free crates), for twitch watching of E3 and other Bethesda shows, community Summerset efforts, Morrowind, now Indrik mount soon to be available...
.. and people STILL complain. Like, yeah, if it's expensive don't buy it. But you do get *plenty* of fantastic mounts for free.

That was the special Chroma blue version. Starlock is referring to this one: https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/dwarven-spider-mount/
So, yes 3000 Crowns, or 100 Crown Gems.Edited by jlmurra2 on November 13, 2018 5:49PM0 -

✭✭For context, the original dwarven spider mount was 3000 crowns.
The original was 3,000 crowns, yes, but the reskinned one with blue lights was 4,000 crowns. So, 3,600 crowns is the ESO+ discounted price? So, just a 10% discount, as I suspected. Well, it'll be 4,000 crowns next month for everyone, so if you do want it, you save 400 crowns.
I had already decided to pass on it, since I purchased the original and had already passed on the blue-light special. I'm guessing then, that the costume later this month will be at least 2,000 crowns (like the hero costumes) and then discounted to 1,800 crowns for ESO+ members.

Price gouging almost always refers to an essential commodity.
I doubt any reasonable person would consider a digital mount in a video game as essential. No fine line here at all. Completely black and white.

Soundles1990✭✭✭Well the price is just too high for me . I rather go to a restaurant with my girlfriend for that money. 5-10 euros for a mount would have been okay .2

Mintaka5✭✭✭✭✭I agree this is greedy, but as much as I hate to say it the market drives the price, so if players are buying at that price, ZOS has no issue with overcharging. Want to stop that? Don't buy it. Wait for price to drop or when it goes on sale.0
