What would a 2000 gem mount skin be in your opinion?

Recommended Posts

It's mostly a matter of opinion and taste. Some may love the Reforged Warhound or the Resplendent Avian and gladly pay 2k gems. Others may have no interest in them. Those who love them might still consider that price high.

 

So what is a 2000 gem mount skin in your eyes?

 

For me, I'd want something made of dragon crystals for my Griffon or see-through and ethereal for my Skimmer.

 

Here are some mounts/skins from different MMORPGs that might give you some ideas:

To me mounts are the 5 they give to us.

Raptor, Springer, Skrimmer, Jackal and Griffon.

 

I would like not to see total reskin, but just variant of those specific mounts.

 

* Armored

* Slightly Icy Theme

* Slightly Fire Theme

* Seasonal Theme

* Enemy Theme

* Etc...

 

But always the same kind of mount ( no dragons, mecha, etc... ).

To me the game is already ruined, though slightly, by little effects like

 

* Shiny flashy dyes

* Comical Gliders

* Annoying Sounds

* Minis ( though i do have the armore scarlet ).

* Some outfits

 

Or else, i wouldn't disagree with the stuff ANET would put in the future, if the decided also to give us more options to disable/lower details on other players.

There are some, but imho not enough.

I want a spider mount. But it has to be a new mount. Not a skin.

No, thank you.

I don't like flashy.

I rather Kodan playable race.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/2pS9kYJ.jpg "")

Once again, hate flashy nonsense.

Too big. Looks silly. I rather the ancient giant golem from the Hero Point in Basin if I have to have a giant "mount". That or an Exhaulted suit that isn't slow.

Is that a pitiful/sad looking moose that don't know why someone put christmas lights all over it and infused leyline magic energy in it's antlers? I feeo sorry for it. Not sorry enough to spend 2000 gems on.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/O3WHXX2.jpg "")

Looks like the abomination after one of the weasels from Roger Rabbit had a baby with a Black Bear.

Also no, as I can already get it as a pet as Ranger. Can't ride it, but I don't even like riding bears in Dynasty Warriors as it looks too silly for me.

I rather non-current Aurene. And not for 2000 gems.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/Z11Yj2c.jpg "")

I rather the one from Breath of the Wild as it was just a Skeleton Horse with red eyes. I hate flashy crap x3.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/HHEUGQU.jpg "")

That thing looks like it wants to die. Look at it's face.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/eXkiSwi.jpg "")

Once again, non-current Aurene.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/ExERxvy.jpg "")

Elephants was my first favourite animal ever, and I still don't buy this for 2000 gems.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/Js7XO0e.jpg "")

Bleh.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/Z6wO7Vv.jpg "")

I hate the nose-horn. Remove it.

Then again... remove it... add wings... make it look more threatening and you got current Aurene, so no.

 

> ![]( https://i.imgur.com/x11T8WH.jpg "")

Already got one. Costed me 250 gold.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/KokBQnV.jpg "")

Too "cute" and too furry. Make it a sabortooth tiger that looks threatening and maybe make it a Jackal skin.

Oh, but not for 2000 gems as that would be too expensive for just one mount skin.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/ab1bqhY.jpg "")

Make the Chak or the Karka hatchlings or queens into a mount... but not a skin. And I would buy it. Once again... needs to be a new mount. Not a skin.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/8mcdsbW.jpg "")

I hate dogs, sorry. Too ugly for me.

 

> ![](https://i.imgur.com/xZG8keq.jpg "")

I don't think there's enough stuff on that horse/pegasus/whatever. It needs more things all over it. More armour, more fire, more sparkles, more flames, more whatever else as WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE?!

But yeah, not for 2000 gems.

 

The only skin worth 2000 gems is a skin that is bundles with 4 more skins.

Raptor, Springer, Skimmer, Jackal, Griffon.

All in one for 2000 gems.

Lol. I agree on the all mounts bundle. But how can you not like the giant see-through mount? It glows in the moonlight :)

I like the Moose/Reindeer, but not for 2000 Gems.

I think I will be disappointed, perhaps, in Wintersday offerings, if the holiday 'Mountfit' is 2000 Gems. Maybe, if we are fortunate, it will be a discounted bundle.

Personally, I'd rather have the chance for a (low-cost) Wintersday skin, in the Adoption, or BL Chest, but I'm sure I'm in the vast minority. I can afford a chance or two; can never spend the amount required for the high-cost bundles or single skins.

Oh if you mean a ghostly mount, I would be okay with. Just not that big though. If big, I want some kind of mechanical suit.

I would rather that on Jackal. It would look weird on the jumping animation of the Raptor and even the uphill situation.

 

On the Jackal you can have a cruising look when you're just going forward.

Jumping makes a little hover thing below.

When you do the sand teleport/dash, the spectre would dash ahead with a flame burst from the exhaust in the back as you go forward some distance.

I am happy to contribute financially to the game, what I do regularly, but for me, an amount of 2000 gems for one unique item, that is a purely "nice to look" thing, goes over my limits of what I find acceptable. Let's say so: If over time, I would achieve to build up this amount ingame, using gold, and that the skin would be so important to me, then maybe I would go it (whereas, I doubt it). But I would in no way pay 25 euro - as in about 1/3 of the price of the game itself - for one unique mount skin.

 

That being said, I fully agree with OP: This remains a personal matter to decide if it is OK or not for self. Each shall see for him/herself. :)
