[Official Mount Adoption Feedback Thread [merged]]

@Kenshi Maru.5489 said:TBH I agree that the Reforged Jackal skin is also way overpriced. Like, if it's an outfit you can wear it all the time with any character from any race. If it's a mount skin? you may be using it from time to time in your travels (it's not even the fastest or most useful mount in the game either).

700 Gems might be too cheap, but when you consider that's what outfits cost and you're always using it 2000 is mind-numbingly expensive. It even feels like they gave all this RNG blowback so that we would complain about the 400 gem skins and not the, let's say, 1000 gem skins being sold for twice the price.

It does feel like they are preying on the market/consumers because there is high demand for this and so far no skin you can get in-game. Price points are definitely not worth it as they are right now. And this is coming from someone who has time and time again bought gems and the Deluxe version of the expansions and really loved supporting the ANet.

Well, I am kind of comparing the mounts with gliders in my head, which may be a bad idea. We have a single glider that we have to use, not a set of them for different situations, and that one glider gets a single skin for much cheaper. Here we get a single skin for a single mount, even though, technically we need 5 of them. The prices should be appropriate. Maybe 700 is too small of a price, but I just can't help but think about the fact that only the Jackal gets it.

Many good points have been brought up already. Mine is the following : Take around 20 skins out of that license and put them in the game. As rewards for bosses, achievements, festivals, whatever the hell comes to your mind. We paid for the expansion, we want something to do in that expansion, achievable mount skins would be a great thing to work (play) for.

We all know what everybody thinks about black lion chests and the rng... How could it cross someone's mind to put more of the same into the game?

And what the hell is up with the prices? 2000 gems for one jackal skin? Where did such a number come from, a random number generator? When I saw it first, I thought it was a typo, then I decided to check out the skin thinking that maybe it was fundamentally different in some way... Nope. It's just another fiery themed skin, not a bad one, but it certainly doesn't cost 2000 gems. I'd price it for around 500-700 gems.

Honestly, I'm kind of lacking the words to explain what I think. I didn't realize that this, seemingly, obvious playerbase opinion was so unclear. I hope this was just some weird miscommunication, I don't want to think that this was just an attempt to milk us for more money, that would be really sad.
