This randomization of the mount skins are terrible. The price would be fine if we could choose which skin we got when turning in a contract but because it's random it's just outrageous. The other things people have said concerning the BS this is has already been stated, but i'm making a comment anyway due to the concern of repeat posters. This is my first post concerning this and thus not a repeat. I am just... incredibly disappointed. I have been with gw2 since original beta and have argued to many, many people as to why this game is so awesome and wonderful and fun. I love the story, the area, the vistas, the raids, fractals, the character and personality behind npcs. But this just takes all of that and cheapens it. I avoid games with expensive RNG because I think it's unethical for all the reasons that have been described by previous people. And, though it sounds melodramatic in the extreme, a part of me still cannot help but feel betrayed. A slap to the face.
