Jumpin Lumpix.6108 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The mount skins and how this system is setup is ridiculous enough as it is, but why remove the 9600 gem deal for all 30 mounts? Its hard enough to acquire that much gold in the game or to scrap that much money together in real life ($120 or 2700 gold) in such a short time period (7 days you gave us). Why is this deal not available all of the time? You really expect us to pay for 3 sets of 10 at 10,200 gems instead LOL? Please if your going to do mounts like this, then leave the cheapest possible option available all of the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The deal was one time only precisely to get people to panic buy it. That ship has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It was only available for 7 days and was removed from the gemstore on November 14th. Presumably it will be brought back periodically, like all other gemstore items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If someone has the funds to buy it in the first place, a 800-gem increase in the price shouldn't sting too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense, you're paying full price while buying them 'one-by-one'. So no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serialkicker.5274 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 You guys really find everything to complain about. If you wanted to buy you would do so already. Are you telling me you're farming that much gold to get 10k gems in order to buy it and it happened that you ran out of time? You had a week to open the wallet and buy. Also, stop pretending like limited time items or discounts are GW2 exclusive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been farming for gems since I could only spend $30 directly. Running SW and the leather farm three or four hours a day from release wasn't enough to afford the package deal.

chronometria.3708 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I was sorely tempted to buy that 9600 but two things put me off. The first was that it did not come with a title or other thing to show I`d gone bananas with the money. The second was that the gem store wouldn't let me buy that many gems at once - the largest gem amount being 8000. It felt rather uncomfortable to have to make two transactions instead of just the one - anet literally broke the bank and this was something I could feel. What I am probably going to do is get a ten mount bundle with real money and then buy occasional mounts with in game gem conversion. That should give me enough mounts to play around with and not be too huge that it feels painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can farm gold for 6k+ gems, i'm sure farming those 250g extra for 800 gems won't kill you. If everyone would cry about sales ending too soon and they couldn't get whatever item in time, we could have one separate forum just for that.

Cuddy.6247 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Scarcity is a valid sales tactic. Tell them the 9600 gem price is a limited time offer and people will dump a lot of money quickly to not pay the 2,400 more gems. You can still get the mount skins.

Then farm more gold for the 2,400 more gems. You know...unless the problem is something else. Such as the whole package was podunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's £102 or $120 which is not the kind of money most people tend to have spare to spend on cosmetic items in a game at short notice. I suspect a lot of people would need to wait until at least their next pay day, or save up for a while to afford that. It's also assuming everyone was able to get online for the entire time it was available. Using myself as an example I was affected by both of those because these mounts were released just before I went on holiday abroad for a week. So I had just 3 days to buy it, at a time when I really wanted to be saving all my spare cash for the trip. And with Christmas coming up too, meaning I normally stop buying stuff for myself to focus on getting gifts for everyone else. (Fortunately I decided I didn't want to buy it anyway, but it would be frustrating if I'd wanted it.) People are right that we were told when it was first introduced that it was a limited time offer, and that if you're buying it (with gold or real money) the extra 800 gems for 3 packs of 10 is not a big deal. But to act like everyone who might want it could easily have bought it within the time it was available is incredibly naïve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even 800 gems, dude. **It's a 600 gem difference, 10200 vs 9600 (aka.. $7.50 USD.)** The OP is crying over 7 bucks (155 gold convert to gems). Go do a few HoT metas, visit the Silverwastes and call it a day. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yeah. I'm afraid you can't say what statements mean to me. Plus, you have no idea what kind of discount might be offered when/if the package returns.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Full price would be 400 Gems times 30. So, as you say, no. Stop while you're ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 pack of mount adoption licenses were there from the first day they were introduced. They didn't add that after the 30 pack ended. Even at full price (buying the licenses one at a time), it's still pretty cheap at 400 gems each. The only problem I have is not being able to choose _which_ mount skins I want.
