There is nothing wrong with this sale. Hopefully they aren't 50 gold because I would rather sell 50 gold than buy a mount with it lol.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
See its black and white now. It means I quit! How poetic and stuff.0 -
I am so happy!! After saving close to 30mil to buy one of the three or four Bad Panda mounts on HT, now I'll actually be able to get one!!!!!!!!!!!
...on the other hand, now my Hell Hound isn't worth so much as it was a week or two ago, oh well.Ayano-chan - Sanctuary wrote: »ROFLMAO I LOL'ed when I saw this .
It's just too amusing. Any1 else think's this is the last major sale before the "deadline" ?
and this... your logic is so broken it hurts.0 -
I'm fine with a mount sale, but reselling the ones that were "limited time ONLY"? Hell hound announcement was too old and not in the new pages anymore, but I'm pretty sure it also said something along the line of "never again".
Spoons' probably off work now, let's hope he gives us a reasonable answer to this tomorrow.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Although previously they were only going for 4-5 mil....with current AH price on gold I think they may actually be worth moreb:laugh-From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.-Churchill

The one mount being added to the boutique that I'm disappointed over is the Black Raptor. Wasn't the only way to get it by referring a certain amount of people (and each of them spending a certain amount of money on the game)? Sure, it may make PWI some money now, but doesn't it backfire on them in the long run? Now, users don't really have an incentive to refer people... meaning less people as well as less money spent (in an exponentially growing amount). The other mounts... well, I believe a select few (such as the Goldmane, Panda, 9-Tails, & Goldfish) should remain EXCLUSIVELY contest-awarded. Maybe 4 is a bit much (I mean, this is a business afterall), but at least 2 should be kept as extremely rare... which I very much hope PWI does. As for the HH and Nien being re-released... eh, I think that's all fair -- except, PWI writers should get their facts straight when writing about them on the mounts' "welcoming page."
I speak from an unbiased point of view, at least mount-wise as my favorite (Kirin) is completely unaffected, but from a business perspective, PWI is doing itself no favors in the long run. No favors at all."My father would beat me if he found out I was QQing over a virtual pony."

I give it 2 months before they put the anniversary mount in the cash shop
Honestly I'm disgusted, for weeks everyone has been saying they are tired of sales and "limited time only" stuff in the cash shop and just want a while for the economy to calm down and yet no matter how much we ask for it we just get a big middle finger from the dev'sThe only way to win is to quit. b:bye0 -

Seriously... is nothing rare or unqiue in perfect world...
They should sell GM capes and Aero in the catshop.
I'm done spending money here.I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.0 -
nothing is rare on PWI, give it another 3 months and wow, lets have a warsoul weap sales for christmas. The catch is the price would be 100 gold, wow.
Maybe they will have the GM position for sales too, 1000gold. who wants to be a GM can start saving up now

black raptor pisses me off too. it was 10 people to spend 20 bucks, thus 200 dollars spent to even generate one on the server. cant imagine that they'd put it in the cash shop for equal value.0 -
Give me an Aerogear sale [Aerogear from Fancy Feathers] and I'll be happy. Then, they do whatever they want.Belligero0

Ah, but there ARE exclusive prize-only mounts.
The fish mount, for example.
Then, in a few months time that will also be available in some rare lottery.
Then a while after that, in a cash shop weekend.
And then, eventually, permanently in the cash shop. (Whilst, in the meantime, some new prize-only mount is released)
Rarity is fleeting.
Why shouldn't it be?
Still, I must say, I wasn't expecting *another* mount sale. There's been several recently. But, well.... I am tempted by that shin shiny fox mount... Oh right, gold price is astronomical. Never mind then.
(Also, neins - how did they first come available? T'was before my time, but they've ALWAYS been EVERYWHERE in Arch, it seems.)0 -

Since when has anything been exclusive in this game? At best an item would be rare for a while but give it some time and everything and anything will end up in the boutique.0

Rare = not rare for long.
I have had my Ninetails for a while now and have turned down MANY offers because I love it and because it was rare. But in my opinion, releasing the Ninetails and the Panda mounts, just means that the Bulbfish (which I got one and sold) and the Gold Mane Lion are going to follow.
Oh well....in my opion just another sale that could have waited till the Anniversary packs were over. And the Black Raptor? You had to refer 10 people and get them to charge $$ to get that mount....what is going to be the incentive for referall now?

Yeah, there's really nothing unique or rare in this game to cherish anymore. Nothing to really work hard for. I'm surprised they would release these event only mounts to the cash shop... I guess it really shows how much faith PWI have in their user base, seeing how the next new game is almost upon us, it feels like they're ready to abandon ship too. lolI post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.0

Well, ninetails and panda at 50 gold it seems...
Pricing gold at 400k per, that puts them at... around... 20 million coin b:chuckle Guess the guys who spent millions weren't as completely screwed over as you'd think.
Wow, 20 million coin. Anyone able to remember back in the day when hercs and nix's cost that? :P0 -
Seeing the Nine-Tails in the cash shop shouldn't really be a surprise. The GM's stated before the first ones were ever given out that they would make their way there.
The contest winners simply got theirs first.Long long ago, there were a man who try to make his skill ultimate. Because of his bloody life, It's no accident that he was involved in the troubles.0 -
Just a huge lol at all the past people who said 'Ninetails will never be introduced into the cash shop.'
The only mount I want on that list is the Hellhound, so hopefully even MORE of them will be on the server and their prices reduced.
Now just to grind to level 60 to use it. b:surrender (and the coins too..)
I could care absolutely less about the others, Ninetails looks weird, I had a Neinbeast before, Bad Panda is ugly, and Black Raptor is.. meh.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
oh look, i'm inactive again.

Having the mounts in the CS is a good idea, its just the timing is wrong. With gold prices as they are at the moment, they really need to hold off with the sales0
-
Well it might I guess, but any smart person would sell the 40gold for about 15mil (~380k/gold HT price) and buy the hellhound from a player for like 4-5mil (HT price)AinaMizuako - Sanctuary wrote: »The only mount I want on that list is the Hellhound, so hopefully even MORE of them will be on the server and their prices reduced.0 -

PWI hasn't gotten a dime from me since the mount sale with Purg. Lion, Boa, & Piggy.
There was a point when I didn't mind charging Zen because I felt I was supporting a great game. Now I can't look at "Charge your Zen!" ads without feeling slightly sick. This "business" has gone from something you can feel good about, to shelling out wadded up bills to a greasy used-car salesman. No matter how nice the ride looks, there's still that niggling feeling you're being played for every penny.
I too would like to know what control Perfect World International actually has over sales & boutique activities. Then again, I'm afraid of the answer:
Option 1 - PWI has its own say on the boutique. Meaning: They don't listen to us, pushing sale after sale, and the bottom line (how much cash they rake in) is all that matters.
Option 2 - PWI does not control (or has minimal control) over boutique sales. Meaning: China has them (and by extension, us) by the short & curly's, and there's nothing we can do about it.0 -
So true... I used to be able to tell my friends what a great game this was and I'd try get them all to play with me, but now when my friends ask me what game I'm currently playing, I'd just reply "just some typical MMO you probably won't be interested in", it's just too embarrassing to tell them that this is a "great game" anymore when all balance is lost.Kephras - Heavens Tear wrote: »There was a point when I didn't mind charging Zen because I felt I was supporting a great game.

Wow guys, someone actually thought these rare mounts would NEVER end up in cash shop? Of course they would... Blame your own stupidy or impatience if you spent milions on getting em before. Even though with current gold rate, they are now not far from costing their old values in game coins. Only thing I can agree with is putting DQ mounts in cash shop a big mistake, but you can't really complain about these rare mounts.*Semi retired*0

Well i'm happy about Ninetails nien beast and hell hound coming out. Nine Tails was always advertised as a "pre release" for contest winners never to be a non release so I think this was to be expected. Bad panda, would have happened eventually.
The ones that I think are upsetting, not to me but those who worked for them are mounts like the Black Raptor, 10 referrals spending $20 each that sould have been kept exclusive, and not to bring the pain up again but the silver mane and violet lightening, if you are going to release a dq ingame mount at least don't make it the hardest ones to get for only 20g
if pwi teaches us anything it's patience is a virtue. Oh and about benifiting cash shoppers only. I don't think a 50 gold mount max 11 speed gives you any more advantage than the 3-5 mil in game 11 speed mounts <.< This is mostly fun cosplay pimpness b:chuckle I plan on spending coin personally, $50+ (exchange rates) too much for something like, but fortunately I have been saving coin for an event like this.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I've only seen a few ninetails before this, and they were always very pretty. Too bad you can't dye them a different color or something for the hell of it.
The one mount I really want is a bulbfish. Something about riding around on a lil flying fish appeals to me. They ARE a land mount right?
Only mount I have is my Gryphon, because I got it pre lv50 and its the fastest without needing wind widgets. If I can make it go any faster, I haven't figured it out b:chuckle
I wish that there were more options for flying mounts, but since they need to split them 3 (soon to be 4) ways due to race it is much slower with new ones. Hope tideborn get to float around on colorful glowing jellyfish, or giant tentacle monsters b:dirty hehe
I know that land mounts go up to 11 mps right? A lot faster, but they need a free pet slot right?I Aim To Misbehave0 -
I'd really like a ninetails but i'm not shelling out $50 for one. That is actually an insult to the people who got theres through the game. They work hard and earn theres...and people who have alot of money now get one..
Plus give it a few months. They will put out new mounts, and suddenly ninetails will become a permenant fixture in the CS for 20$0 -
I for one, would love to get that black raptor and/or a Nienbeast. But these prices are mad... With the economy the way it is irl, there is NO WAY I'd ever be able to afford a mount within this week. I would like a price reduction, or all these mounts be a permanent addition.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0
