@"Gaile Gray.6029" said:There are a lot of conversations about the mount adoption option that was released today. Many of the comments in the individual threads repeat ones made by the same person in another thread. We very much want to hear your feedback, but have found that a single feedback thread offers the best opportunity for you to share your thoughts and for us to review it in the context of a wider set of feedback.
So here's a thread into which you're invited to post your thoughts on the subject of the Black Lion Stables Mount Skins.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I appreciate you putting on your armor and asking for input, knowing you're gonna get royally slagged. I'm flummoxed at how it seems acceptable to put players in a situation where they feel like something they really wanted was given to them in a way that also makes them feel betrayed at the same time. Customer satisfaction, in my opinion, should not be bittersweet.
Here's my feedback:
1) 2k gems for a single skin (that's not even all that great) after you sold 5 skins for the same price (undiscounted) is seriously disheartening to see.
2) When I want to buy something, I want to buy the thing, not a chance at the thing. Many players already feel that Black Lion chests are a ripoff. To spend my hard-earned money to get only a handful of anything decent and whole ton of useless items... Bitter resentment is NOT the feeling I should be getting from my favorite MMO. By making the licenses account bound, I can't even hope to recoup some of my wasted money with in-game gold.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Either remove the RNG aspect entirely (and adjust prices accordingly) or allow mount skins (and glider skins for that matter) to be sold via the TP. By "adjust prices accordingly" I mean the fancier skins should cost more. That's fair, no one could reasonably object to that.
