    Goldmane Lion was a pack item, so his post about them being not earned now is bunk..
    Why does referring people = earning? Calendar contest, I'll buy that one as earning.

    PWNT

    Would you be able to successfully refer 10+ people who will spend at least $20 on this game?

    All you're saying is that the black raptor used to cost $200. That isn't really "earning" it either. I bet people made fake accounts and toss their money out of the window... Anyhow...

    How come working for a living doesn't count as "earning" in your book? Just because some people work outside of a MMORPG doesn't mean they don't work.

    This gold mut is ugly. Its out-dated. They're currently releasing Lobsters, Bubble Fish, Tidal Serpents, Blazing Tempest Tigers, Celestial Tigers (Black/White), Mammoths, etc.
    Haven't you noticed that ALL mounts from the Age of Spirits are now available from the Boutique? I think with the Nien Beast and the Bad Panda we've got them covered. This is the last one, its about time. Moving on.

    Since Jolly Jones gave away the second generation 3,2 m/sec aero-gear expect it in the Boutique within a month. That's what happened to Iridescence/Golden Gourd/(Untamed Accidentally Got a Dragon Fly).

    Perfect World has been doing this since the beginning. I'm not exactly sure why you're so upset about this now? Personally I think its a scam people change over 20m for any mount. If it went 15,0m/sec I'd understand 75m... but otherwise? Then again I sold my Dark Lord wings for 95m b:thanks I look forward to buying them for $50 by Christmas.

    So getting your friends to join and spend is your way of earning? Still at the basic idea that it was bought in cash shop. Whether its your money or your friends. It goes goes back to PWI's bottom line. Mounts are and always will be a cash shop item, and rightfully so.

    Hah, ever since they put the Silver Mane and Violet Lightning for sale in the cash shop, I felt that what is supposed to be 'rare' is not much anymore.

    Even a GM that has left since then said that nothing was deemed as fully rare. That eventual transition was proven true, as it seems that mounts you first strive for (DQ mounts) or find by luck (in packs) are eventually sold as is for a big price.

    I truly am not surprised anymore... Guys, never expect that there will not be a re-release of your favorite mount.

    'Get the rare pet you have always wanted, limited sale, just spend fifty bucks at once to get it!' is being quite the not so-surprising strategy now, if not a stale one.
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    What about the PQ2 or 3 mount? I think that is another one of those rare mounts.

    Mmm... depends how you guys define "rare", It's an ok looking level 40 min req horse with 8m/s - > 9m/s speeds.

    It needs 30 silver dragon orders and 50 copper dragon orders.

    Silver orders are like what ~150-200k each? maybe less? (on HT)

    Copper orders, last i saw was ~30-50k odd each? maybe less? (on HT)

    200k x 30 = 6mil
    50k x 50 = 2.5mil
    That totals around 8.5mil (or a bit less), pretty expensive for that kind of mount

    Gold prices on HT is just under 400k atm (probably higher on other servers?)
    So if people were to buy orders to get it, it'll be just under 22gold, more than half the price of a gold lion (in gold currency).

    The point is, it's not really that "rare" considering cash shoppers or rich folks can simply splurge out some money and get the orders for it, just like any other mount in a certain sense.

    Most people didn't get orders for this horse anyways, majority of the people who gathered orders for a mount wanted the silver mane or violet lightning.

    Desperate move to bring in $175,000. It works of course, because people are going to buy it. But really, it tells me that PWI (PWE) is desperate for money. Kindof makes me worry about where this game is headed, tbh.

    They aren't desperate for money. They make a ton of money from everyone buying zen. They're just greedy.

    50 gold for a mount that isn't even max speed? So if you want max speed then you need to buy spurs for it so that's another 15 gold.


    Yea, I'll pass.

    Gold doesn't generate orders does it? (not sure if you can get from tokens tho)

    You can charge infinite gold but if no supply of dragon orders you won't get them. So yeah still rare.

    I don't see why they'd expect it to sell, maybe they were counting on the "zomg gotta get it before it sells out" rush to drive people to buy it, I dunno.

    But must of not worked lol, can't say i'm surprised when you have a 50 gold mount that isn't even max speed, in the shop the same time as a 35 gold, formerly "rare" mount, that's already at max speed.

    LOL gold prices actually dropped. I am glad I told my husband in game that I didnt think it was a high demand item. He was going to buy a few to resell.

    Edit to say, Lions are still in shop.. if they planned on selling 500 per server the joke was on them.
