If a person hasn't gotten the griffon because he/she thinks 250g is too much, but thinks spending 400 gems on a random mount skin isn't too much, I suggest that person rethink their priorities. The griffon is a solid gameplay upgrade. It even unlocks two new adventures in each PoF map (once you complete the second mastery). In my opinion, people who are considering buying these mount skins, but not considering unlocking the griffon should instead reconsider unlocking the griffon rather than complain about getting a griffon skin they can't use. Not sure that I understand the logic there. Spending money or time to get something you dont want or dont think is worth the expense is somehow better than buying something you like? I detest coconut, but love pineapple. Should I rethink my spending habits about spending money on pineapple rather than coconut, even if coconut is cheaper?So you're saying you hate the griffon, but you love gambling for mount skins? Because this has nothing at all to do with coconuts and pineapples. If someone is that adamant about not getting the griffon, but still wants to gamble for mount skins, then they need to accept the fact that they have a roughly 20% chance of getting a skin they can't use. I've spent thousands of gold on legendary weapons, armor skins, outfits, mini pets, and other vanity nonsense. But I have never spent 250g as fast as I did when I unlocked the griffon. And I don't regret it. That 250g could have earned me at least 5 ascended weapons for my alts, or 3-4 pieces of ascended armor, or any number of useful account upgrades. I chose the griffon because the griffon itself is a useful account upgrade. Maybe not as useful as say, a couple of extra bag slots, but far more useful than a cosmetic skin.
