    When I got my car, the sales guy bought me a pizza.

    Did I complain? No. Did the sales guy try using the pizza to get me into the car? No.

    People are saying that these will be in the cash shop in a week. Well... The **** Horse isn't in the cash shop yet, HOWEVER, I don't think the **** Horse is as exclusive to PWI as Frankie made it out to be. b:surrender I do believe it is available on PW-CN, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    As for the recolors...

    Nooooo TY. That's exactly what they are, recolors. There's nothing different about them at all. If they were at least MILDLY different, then... I could see them being worth this.

    The red one, btw, is available if you charge $50 USD, opposed to the black one at $150. Which... Is a big change from the last one, where you could get martial arts scrolls at $10, and a mount at $150, and that was it.

    All I'mma say here is, this is exactly the kind of BS reason why they don't want people editing client files.
    1) Swapping or replacing a texture? Child's play.
    2) Given a few hours in photoshop, or god forbid, a little skill with mesh editing, any reasonably creative artist worth their salt could whip out a mount that would put those goofy anemic pointy-faced foxes to such shame they'd all start wearing brown paper bags on their heads.

    For $150 USD, the damn thing should top 20m/s groundspeed and come with 999 loyalty automatically. Pathetic.
    PS: Yes, I acknowledge Okeano's point in that it's 'free' to those who are already charging zen in such amounts. Those people are also idiots.

    This would be a "free bonus" to charging zen if it wasn't a 2 week promotion and instead either permanent or a couple months or so, there's the heavy **** cash shoppers that blow god knows how much a week anyway, then there's the casual's which is the majority of the player base, asking your majority to chuck 150 USD to a greedy company like PWE within 2 weeks is outrageous.

    This is not a "free" bonus regardless of what ever chimp has there head stuck up PWE's **** thinks, the only reason why we can charge so much zen at once now anyway is due to packs being out and people complaining that they couldn't charge enough, I mean seriously, what other reason could people want to charge more then they used to need?

    So think of it like this, you pay 150 for the mount and get 150 gold for free to spend on packs or something daft, fail marketing ploy is fail.

    Because people were being semi derp on the fact that you could acquire them in game etc. aside form the rewards or though winning it in an obscure contest they had when the tiger was still the hot item. They have yet to be in the boutique.

    I bet you anything its gonna end up in the token shop (if that happens) DQ rewards or in celestial insignias. I'd LOL if it was in the CS, but I doubt they'll go that far to **** people off so soon. Give it a year or so and they will shove it in during a 1 hour mount sale event alongside the celestial tigers. ANd I will quote this post when the time comes and they do it *sweatdrop*

    Almost everything will eventually be directly put in the catshop or game for purchase w/ in-game coin and/or Zen. That's always been how it works, anyways. Look at the Panda mount. That big ugly thing was given away as a special rare prize for an event to three lucky people per server. It sold for roughly 100-150m coin on each server, as it was passed out from the original owners.

    ...Now, present day. Do you know how much they sell for? If you are able to sell it for 10m or under, you probably just made the deal of your life. It was put directly in the Boutique months later for several temp sales.

    The DQ mounts as well. Back in the day people farmed up DQ and did the actual Dragon Quests, which gave gold, silver, and various other metals. They turned the metals in after hundreds of hours of hard work/labor, and got a brand new, super rare mount. Guess what? It was put in the Boutique.

    -Rep
    -Ninetales
    -End-game gear
    -Various other mounts
    -Flyers
    -Goldmane Lion Packs > Goldmane Lion

    You name it, it's been put for sale in the Boutique. Why would that Tiger mount be any different? Granite, it might take a while before they release in there. But according to the past, it's going to happen eventually.

    I kinda feel sad for all the people that said they would get those recolored Scarlet Ninetails at any rate. Only crazy people would charge that much for those... Fork 150 bucks out in a week? Seriously, that's insane, if you really wanna do it, share it to us. b:surrender

    Well, for some good news, I guess that people bought stuff to get the AC cerberus pet back then, now it's in the DQ reward page for a 'cheap' 15k points, so I guess the Ninetails will be following the same way, unless it goes to boutique.
    Another point to remember is that the mount is to be bound to one character. No account stash trade possibility. *Shrugs*

    So they add a new mount, bound, as an incentive to buy zen.

    Increased purchase of zen = more gold in auction = lower gold price in game.

    Isn't that what people have been asking for?

    Lol, I sense sarcasm here. :P

    I don't actually mind the mount. It's mediocre. Looks better than the original colored Ninetails. Just that, it's no where near worth 150 bucks, and I wouldn't get it unless it was under 5m. I can get it for free on a private server, lol.

    I wish mate. It's not going to decrease gold prices in the AH, though. It sounds like it would work, and all. But it's not going to. Wish gold was lower though.

    I don't think it would be that convenient. Sure, a bunch of crazy people would charge 50 or 150 bucks to get a hold of that mount (it is a bonus, remember, but just an incentive for players to spend tons at once), but nothing forces them to put that amout of gold at once in AH (Of course they are no altruists, or gold rate would not be that extreme... and I am sure it will be worse in the near future). They could as well spend it for themselves and more probably use that resource little by little and so well that no change in gold rate will occur.

    i wouldn't mind one of those red foxes, actually. i'd trade it for my standard ninetails plus maybe half a mil or so, just for the novel color. $150? geddouttahere, that joke ain't funny...

    there's not a single thing in this game i'd ever charge $150 for, no matter what i got for a spender's bonus. scratch that; there's not any TEN things together in this game i'd charge that much at once for, nohow. and making the things untradeable? that's just urinating on their big spenders while not even trying to tell them it's raining...

    With the price of Gold still being over 1M, I would look at it like this. CSer spent $150 on Zen (which he/she was going to do anyhow over time), sold it and made about 165M coins AND got a FREE mount. It's probably worth about as much as the regular Ninetails, which I might add was a super-rare mount when I started playing, and is now pretty much worthless....imho. b:sad

    In no way would I ever think of this mount as being worth 150M coins b:chuckle

    You obviously fall under this person's category:

    I already saw that you bought it anyway, let me call you stupid for doing so, id rather use that money on holiday spendings, perhaps a new game or even a new graphics card etc and enjoy it more then an re-skined ugly looking mount when I already have a fat "bad panda" that i got for 0 dollars, regardless of how you try to look at it, you just spent 150 dollars on a mount and used the rest of the "pixel cash" on what ever other garbage you wanted, be it pixel currency or items, a pixels a pixel which you deemed was worth 150 dollars regardless of how you try to kid your self.

    I just can't belive how PWE can even get away with such a scheme, never mind actually pulling it off on the cash cows that still chuck money at PWE like lost drug addicts that can't get off there crack addiction.

    PWI isn't failing at anything, they are very, very successful...if anyone's failing it's the players for allowing PWI to milk them.

    When Soaring Tokens first came out people charged $200+ for them, despite the fact that you can get flyers with same functionality for about 190mil cheaper because they are newer and shinier.

    PWE's marketing plan...
    Release an item and claim it as "rare" -> players charge over $9000 in attempts to obtain them-> put it up in boutique when money flow starts to slow down -> players who charged QQ -> put it up in boutique again for $5 -> milk players as much as they can -> open Photoshop (pirated version ofc because they are too cheap to pay for license) and play around with hue/saturation/curve -> go to the beginning of the cycle for moar profit

    I love how people complain about this. Guess what? If you dont like the idea, then its not for you! SHOCKER! b:shocked

    Some people charge that much anyways, and its nice to get something nice out of it. I've charged over 150 bucks in a week before (hell, I've done it in a day before), and I KNOW there are tons of people that spend more than that. This is for those of us who spend already. As Okeano said, its FREE. FREE. One more time. FREE. If you spend 150 bucks JUST to get this, then yes, you are a freaking moron. But if you are one of the people that spend it anyways, its nice to be able to have something special, even if it will probably end up being more common someday down the line. Shocking, PWI delivers a little gift to the paying players. I think its nice.

    Now shut up and go farm something.

    I couldn't have said it better. (except I haven't donated 150$ total since I started playing)

    If you don't already spend that kind of money on the game, it's not a bonus to you.
    But for all the people who do, it's a free mount.

    I don't get people who spend large amounts of $$ on this game. Must be akin to a gambling addiction. Why else would someone pay a premium price for the lowest quality grade/genre of MMOs on the market?

    I also don't understand why a three (3) tailed fox is called ninetails.

    But I do understand why PWI is limited to reselling existing re-colored items. After all, they are just reselling an existing game anyway. They are not capable of adding new content. Recoloring items is the pinnacle of their marketing prowess and the only way they can release "exclusive" items.
