ANY mount skin to actually achieve in game?

For example, in Guild wars 1, you could earn several festival hats during seasonal events, and also try to obtain some unique items through quests/mini-dungeons.

 

In GW2, we can earn the equivalent of 'hats' during festivals, too. Lunatic armor, the Mad King backpack skins, SAB weapon skins (and infusions). In GW2, there is an entire weapon and three armor sets for each dungeon, as well as a couple of unique recipes for exotic accessories available only in dungeons. In GW1, we could not earn outfits in game; you had to pay for them separately, with RL cash. And, incidentally, if you weren't around for the first 5-6 years of the game, you couldn't earn any of its festival hats. They only changed that in preparation for the game going on autopilot.

 

And again, there are two GW2 mounts, along with their default MountFits, that are obtained via a chain of quests. There are three glider skins available as part of the matching legendary backpack collection.

 

There's nothing wrong with asking for more unlocks. There's nothing wrong with wanting some four-channel MountFits outside the gem store. In requesting those changes, let's try not to forget that the game offers a ton of unlocks outside of a cash shop, even though it appears that something like 30-70% of the studio's income is from selling gems.
