Galaa.8475 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 now i have to buy the raptor skin, why ANET why? LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 If you think you HAVE to buy it, I'd suggest uninstalling the game, honestly. You might have impulse control issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 My guess is that there will be a whole mess of new skins in the coming months, especially at holiday events. Just sit back and wait. Eventually I bet there will be more choice and cheaper options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosmaster.8263 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 If they come out with a Reindeer one for Christmas I would definitely contemplate buying it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch of Doom.5739 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Of course the OP's comment is hyperbole. I seriously doubt she/he has issues. If you like the skin and don't mind paying $25 of real world money for it, go for it. I hope Wintersday will bring more-better-cheaper skins to the store.

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Unless you absolutely love and adore it, I would wait. There’s bound to be more 2000 gems mount skins coming to the gemstore, which you might like better for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcShriek.5829 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Eventually there will be a sale where it will only cost 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you consider the work going into either: Outfits require different modelling and rigging for each of the races AND sexes. Mounts only require one base rig and model that scales differently depending on the rider's race. Simply put: either they are really underselling Outfits, or seriously overpricing mount skins.

Zedek.8932 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think I'd fall for Springer skins. That dude is just cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veers.8054 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Lets not forget, that's $25 for a single skin. Forget that, i'd rather spend that money on steam and get a full game. I'm fine with these games wanting to make a little money off of skins and the like, but they are just getting down right greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be closer to 1000. I'm willing to pay 400 for the basic skins, up to 700 for the fancy ones we've seen so far. I love the idea of the Peacock Raptor, but not enough to pay even 1000. I'm not saying ANet shouldn't charge 2k — if people are willing to pay US$25, then great for them & the longevity of GW2. I'm saying my expectations are set by outfits and I don't think mountfits should cost all that much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying my expectations are set by outfits and I don't think mountfits should cost all that much more. 10/10 for "mountfits" a word is born! :) I fully agree BTW. If they continue with this pricing scheme I know I'll never buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeefa.3915 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I will never buy any mount skin at that price, 2k gems is way overpriced. Mountskin prices should be around the same as for gliders and outfits. I'd rather take the chance with a few mount skin adoptions. Even I don't get my favorites, I at least consider the price pr. skin reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying my expectations are set by outfits and I don't think mountfits should cost all that much more. **Mountfits** Like that! ^^ And I do like the designs from some of these Mountfits, but 400 Gems is a reasonable price enough for some fashion item. Just because other MMOs are leeching on their players money, that doesn't mean GW2 should jump the bandwagon, too. A thing done even by a million other ppl, doesn't make this a good thing per se. Look at IRL history and you instantly know about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlin Sanders.3587 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 i think it's nice but i'll only buy the raptor skin if they release tengu as a playable race so i can have a bird riding on a bird. See if i can go all out with the whole bird theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they should or why they do. /shrug. They do because ANet thinks people will buy them for that price. And as long as they meet their sales projections, then 2k gems it will be.
