I have never had much of an issue with the premium store. They don't charge a monthly fee and you can earn gems. It's always been a nice way of doing things. But I have also always been able to buy the skin or product that I want. Anything that is gambled (like the black lion chest, or the dyes), I have been able to sell things I didn't want to the TP. I think if this had been a smaller gamble, say just the griffon mounts, or just the raptor mounts, it'd be less infuriating. At least I'd be getting a skin for the mount I use. In the end though, I think everyone would much prefer if we could have the mount that we want. This is lootboxing on an EA/Ubisoft style and that is never a good thing. I think this level of gambling is despicable and it definitely preys on the consumer. And £20 for the Reforged Warhound, really? They've always run prices quite high on the Gem store, but this is just.. eurgh. No Arena Net. Just no. I hope they listen to the community on this because it is just disappointing. And from what I gather, that is what most people are feeling. Disappointment.
