Thank you very much for your effort! I appreciate that MO himself made a statement, and while I still think the adoption license system is not the most rewarding way to pay for mount skins due to the rng, i can understand the decision to not change it now.I also appreciate the announcement that the coming mount skins will not be affected by rng. Looking forward to spend my money on those :)

^ingame earnable without gems or gold but instead with achievements would also turn the tides in this outrage i think... (additional to the rng-mounts)

I like this idea

I wouldn't. I like picking exactly what I want. What if I bought 4 random chances (800 gems - around the price of a glider skin) and I still didn't get a skin I wanted? What if they were all ugly (to me)? Or if they were all for mounts I didn't use regularly? No, I would rather just spend 700 gems for 1 skin that I choose. I won't buy mount skins at all any other way. id prefer that too, but with the established system already in the game all i can really hope for at this point is a price cut : ( I hope for a good deal more than that. I hope for Anet to correct this marketing mistake. Lowering the price won't make any difference to me.AgreedThe RNG is the problemI am absolutely sure this outrage wouldnt have happened without it

paying for them with gold from the npcs we got the mounts initially would be even better than gems.but the REAL problem is the RNG (that would obviously also vanish with the gold-solution)

Its a SKIN.there is an option to change mount skins in the hero-menu

Hell even one skin of each mount as unlockable would change things a lot. But we didn't even get a second dye-channel in the standard-skins...And the RNG in this just makes me feel bad about buying anything at all.The Lion chest Keys are at least obtainable ingame without Money, but locking the skins behind money AND rng ist too much...I will refrain from any further gem-purchases until this Money-Grab stops.

I totally agree! I am really disappointed that the really beautiful mounts could end up on a gambling table. 400 gems per skin is good, but the fact that you only have a 1 in 30 chance that you get the skin you want is really bad. Reasons are plentiful in this thread. And furthermore the 2000 gem price for a SINGLE skin (reforged warhound) is just too high, even if it has a unique sound and ability-effects.
