    yes i truly agree, just another pocker bulger from pwi, ppl, bring an event to get everyone sill with excitement to buy heaps n heaps of pack in the hope they might get 0.0000001 % chance to get a lion mount, "sarcasm" i never bought any, and not real whatsit about weather i get a lion or not, my veno has a panther, and is very happy with it, and until way later levels in game , i think that will be about the only time i use the cash shop
    now i wamt to make a suggestion or obversation the winged swan was a halloween % thing, if im wrong correct me about that, and then little while later became a buyable mount on boutique, so im wondering after the cooldown of the event when none want to spend reall dollars buying more pack anymore, they might just make it a buy mount in bourtique......... O.o
    If you had bothered reading the update note you'd know this isn't an event. You're complaining because they made something cheaper but didn't give you free stuff with it?

    Well they made Israfel, Nakir's Judgement and Daedalus Wings into cash-shop items, but not Midnight, so I guess this lion could fall either way. And just because it might not be a cash-shop item right away, doesn't mean it never will be.

    By the time the lion gets to the cash shop though, they will annouce some other new mount and everyone will lose interest in the lion for the new mount.

    My personal opinion is PWI's cash shop prices are a bit expensive and the events are costly, but I still fall for the money expense trap everytime and spend money like water, hehe.... I will say this time I was a little smarter and only bought 1 each of the gold charm packs. No I didn't win a lion, grrr...Unfortunately, and as much as I don't want to say this, In the Business world they are right on track with a famous saying *Makes Good Business Sense*. The best solution is just don't contribute real life money or be sparing with what you spend on an event. Whining, crying, complaining is nor ever will change how PWI sets pricing on cash shop items or how an event pans out. The more people are aware of the schemes and spend less money will make more of an impact than any words ever spoken or written. We as players make the choices how much real life money we are willing to spend not PWI, so in the end the only ones we can blame are ourselves.

    Thanks,

    to everyone saying stuff like "why are you complaining because you're getting something for free or getting such a good deal on the packs" my opinion is this, most people are NOT buying these packs for the charms. they are buying them in hopes of getting the lion mount. that's what is annoying people. if it were just charm packs not many people would be buying them. instead you've got people spending hundreds (thousands supposedly) because they want the mount. a very good trick on PWI's part and of course they won't change their methods as long as people are willing to shell out the cash. it's just going to be really funny if the lion is added to the cash shop in the future after some people have wasted so much money trying to get it.

    Quoting Xarfox in http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=108602&page=5 "Midnight is an extremely rare mount and will not be sold in the cash shop anytime soon."

    So unless you have a lot of mounts you want to get, all you have to do is be patient. The lion is the only mount I want for sure and I'd be fine with that only.

    As for the random prizes, I've gotten 100 utility charms (lvl 4-15 weapon) phys atk+40. Also 10 purple eggs which heals 300HP and 250MP.

    How is it a trick for PWI to not be giving out free lion mounts to everyone buys a Gold Charm pack? It's like Coke having an event, they are selling all coke for 20% off and every person who buys a Choke has the chance to win a prize, do you think people would send letters to Coca-Cola to complain about not winning a Flatscreen TV despite having bought 100 bottles of coke?

    legally they most post the chances of winning any and all items, so no its not the same
    actually i wouldnt be surprised if this legal jurisdiction went for virtual items too

    technically the coca cola stuff is often a sweepstakes as often you can get a chance to win without purchasing an item

    this is more like a lottery( if you wish to follow the previous logic ) which isint legal in California anyway

    this is uh.. actually pretty much a lottery but its a *bonus item* although its the main reason a lot of charm packs are being sold

    there is no law that says they need to post the odds of getting any certain item. if you want us to believe something that stupid then post the penal code which specifies that this is required.

    btw anyone who is stupid enough to spend 100s or 1000s for a chance to get a virtual item when they dont want what they are actually buying is a complete idiot. especially when they will be able to buy it within the next month for 20-40 anyway.

    i was referring to the coca cola that they had to post odds, as in its not the same here/ i don't know if its the same here, hard to determine what this is classified as. I was just adding that information for comparison as people with the coca cola example(likely incorrectly) were.

    All over the world Casino's are packed with those who 'believe' they can beat the odds and pour their cash into the casino's. No matter what you may fondly believe, this is not a consequence free world we live in. If you choose to spend money on the Chance to get an item, then you are gambling.



    The Rainbow Egg is guaranteed, but they make it plain that the chance of getting the mount or pet is 'slight', nobody lied to you.


    children aren't allowed in Casinos but they play this..

    If whoever buys the charm pack does it only for the chance to get a lion then excuse me but...their problem if they don't get one.

    The charm prices have been lowered, something we have demanded over and over in endless threads. Now they finally do it -and- give us a free item alongside it we complain? Jesus Christ you pepople truly can't be happy, ever -,-

    Aye, too true. There will always be a small group of people who constantly cry foul. They'll seem much larger in numbers than they are, simply because they whine so damn loud.

    As for the topic: I have yet to see a single Lion Mount anywhere.

    Have not "seen" one on heavens tear but I know some one with a name something like xdirty or something got because of the broadcast message. The discount itself is enough for me to buy the packs but at $16 a shot it does show how expensive this game is.

    don't forget that as more people buy extra charm packs just for the chance at getting the lion, the market will be flooded with charms, which should drive down their price. Players who buy charms with coins should benefit from this.

    For Nicestuff_Ty: Uhm you can buy gold easy with Infame coin. o.o; I have never spent a CENT on this game. I buy things from teh cash shop with gold that I get at the auction house. So technically you don't even have to spend real money to try! It's just easier.
