I mean the other mount skins have been gemstore items to... Sooo... In any case, it is super adorable, I love it's fuzzy face. '3' I did something bad, but other ppl do bad things too! guess that makes the thing I did not bad. Charging for the fruit of your labor isn't bad... Or do you refuse to accept a paycheck for your work? I already payed when i bought the game, and the expansion, and another expansion. Id like to keep playing the game without having to spend all my money for rewards. That's fair, but the mount skin isn't a reward. You receive the raptor mount as a reward for completing the Sparking the Flame chapter of Act 1: Path of Fire. A mountfit from the gem store is an optional accessory. Regardless of what skin or dyes are put on the raptor, everyone's raptor has the same stats, same abilities, and performs the exact same way.Yes but if you want a cool looking raptor you gotta pay, not a single in game obtainable skin for your mounts. were almost at a point there are more skins in gemstore then obtainable in game. and tbh i dont rly care about them, since i dont give them value. The problem i have is that they put all their "content" into the gemstore instead of ways to get them in game. Just imaginee if you saw a mount and could reqognise it because its from a raid, or a fractal, or dungeon, or pvp or wvw. these days you dont have that, there are so many mount skins which makes them all look alike and valueless. Nothing prestige about taking your credit card and paying 25 bucks
