I'd like to put my opinion here though I doubt it'll get a read after 50+ pages of posts on the matter. I'd preface this with mentioning I have supported the gemstore whenever I could and am one of those players prone to spend on skins they enjoy. I do think the discounted mount skins RNG box isn't an overly bad idea, had it been introduced somewhere down the line, after all the skins had filled the rotation through regular gemstore releases. I think a lot of the anger stems from the fact there is no way to directly buy what we want, so an initial gemstore release for 800-1000gems would have been more sensible for the players. You've done this before with the Braham outfit exclusive in BL chest but later added the outfit as a standalone gemstore purchase. It is not too late to fix this! I also don't like the forced bundling purchase introduced with Halloween, as someone who primarily uses raptor and springer and doesn't share an affinity for the griffon like everyone else, I think having the ability to pick and choose for each mount at higher price and discounted as bundle should be the way to go to keep everyone happy. I would like to close by also mentioning the new mount skins introduced a bunch of bugs that the vanilla mounts do not have and need to be addressed right away. Players are paying money for these premium skins but end up getting frustrated and reverting to their regular mounts awaiting fixes. Myself and others have had their chars and mounts vanish into oblivion, sink underground, get rooted in placed while mounting, falling through map and even camera issues! https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/13513/mount-disappears-underground
