It's still a handful compared to the playerbase though. It boggles my mind how people can spend so much especially when things haven't been so great. It's not even just here, another simple looking voxel game I noticed some people seem to have spent thousands and I just can't think why you'd ever spend so much on something so simple. It's silly how people spent 30m+ at the start for the striders though considering it was likely only the start even if this here is fake.[/quote]
You have to remember, being the on top, even if it's a pile of trash, is still on top. And most people in this game follow it religiously. If it looks like it will give some type of advantage, they will do anything to get it. I don't want to get onto the elitism trip but that's exactly what it is. You have people that want to be special little snowflakes at any means. Yes very few people will have this mount. But then again they will feel like they are in some special class in all to themselves.
I would happily pay a reasonable amount of zen to transmute the stupid chicken mount so it looks like my favorite, the leopard! IMO there should be an in-game way to get these exotic things that involves a time commitment rather than a money commitment. Then players have the ability to choose: they can spend a month earning their fancy new mount by doing quests or, for the rich and impatient, they can just buy it. That way everyone has a shot at getting the good stuff, Cryptic appeases the masses and still makes money.
I think they just like kicking people when they can, there are some serious sadists working at Cryptic. If that means some people benefit, its fine to them, as long as they can generate frustration... perhaps they farm pathos or are secretly Autumn people generating banality.

Sigh.
