Seriously?....a person in Zimbabwe's annual income (what they get a full year) is 268 dollars (average).... so almost 1/4 of that for some pixels? That's completly stupid and makes me have doubts on humanity. So to get that mount the person has to work like 3 months. STOP leeching off your parents people. I do hope some people read this before they lock it even though I know I will get hate messages.

EDIT: wow I'm really worried on how the world is going.......and no I am not saying that so I want to buy it. I honestly wouldn't buy that ugly mount for 0.00001 gold. I'm just stating how inbalanced the world is. I hope all your kids will be more like ''the world should unite'' rather than ''oh she cared about some other country, about someone else... let's attack!!!''

    I agree, $70 for a modified boa is silly :), saying that though people still bought the Purgatory Lion when it is just a modified Goldmane Lion and not even half as good looking.

    statistics are made up 9 times out of 10, you cant use a small sample selection to represent every situation as a whole. who gives a damn about zambonee anyways? you should give a damn about your own country first before complaining about foreign ones screwed up over imperialism.

    take tulare county, CA; the most impoverished county in the us, also the location of highest teen pregnancy rate as well lol..

    back on point, there are poor hispanic and asian communities living in dirt floor, newspaper patched shacks. 6-7 people in 2 bedroom shacks, no indoor plumbing, and can barely afford food, and youre complaining about zimblahblah.

    all i can really say is, who cares, its not inhibiting your gameplay, stfu.

    Plus, any charges are subject to exchange rates. So if your currency isn't equal to our currency, you could wind up paying more or less depending on where you're from. I believe England benefits from this as their money is worth more than ours.

    If it insults u, don't buy it o.o.

    Nuff said. Althought imo, pwi would make much more money if they sold them at 40-50 gold each, instead of trying to ripoff the richer bunch.

    Why complain about the cost of a new mount?

    The game is free.

    People who don't spend real money don't deserve the CS stuff at the prices they want them at.

    Post like this yesterday....

    I have seen a few but not many.....

    It is a rare mount....

    You do not have to buy it or even have it....

    They cannot make everyone happy....

    <--- Still would rather have the amount of dyes to dye clothing lowered then to worry about a mount that is not all that anyways (imo) b:sad

    b:question

    Interesting response considering the bulk of the argument was examples.

    The point is there are worse things out there worth complaining about then a $70 mount in this game when it is F2P....ijs tbh imo

    Lets not get into a arguement about how much one cares or does not care about the world.

    In the end, what does one get out of complaining about the costs of the new mount. People don't buy the mount and PWI will see that its not selling. It will be back later on at a lower price. If it's selling enough for PWI then no need to complain.

    I don't go to Mercedes and tell them their top model needs to be priced at 10K so I can afford it.

    I'll agree, 70 bucks is too expensive, but heh, all the cash shop stuff is... wait, what again? Oh yeah. OPTIONAL. It's just another type of mount at 11m/s anyways... buy a cheaper mount, spur it, same deal for cheaper.

    prejudious much? surely, you dont know a thing about me, therefore you cant label 'people like me.' i for one live in that county i described, luckily enough to not have to deal with that by a short borderline.

    you dont need to buy the mount, its not inhibiting your gameplay, quit whining.

    I think that he wanted to buy the new mount, I don't see any other reason for someone to complain about the price of something that you don't need to buy. But in cars terms is the same thing for you to buy a Bugatti Veyron with the same engine as a Mercedes SLR...

    no, thats a horrible example, one performs way better.

    a better would be like buying a lincoln navigator when its just a ford with a lincoln label for 2x the prices. (F U ford and your multicar distribution ownerships!)

    Could you cite your source for that information, please?

    A quick web search finds me: hhttp://blog.aflcio.org/2006/09/28/zimbabwe-hiding-truth-behind-attacks-on-trade-unionists/ which says The average income is about $4,800 a year in U.S. dollars or less than $100 a week.

    I do not know what year that was supposed to be for, nor do I know if that number was accurate. So, since you have all his Zimbabwe information, perhaps you could tell me where you got your number from?

    But, I have to wonder how many people in zimbabwe have an internet connection and a computer and are playing PWI? And I also wonder if both of them are happy about your valiant efforts to get this mount reduced in price so they can afford one.

    I said average of course there will be people in good condition so there must be some who have internet connection but they wouldn't mind the gold that much maybe anyway. this thread is not about getting the mount priced lowered and affordable it's about how inbalanced the world is
