What is up with everyone being so ungrateful?

Seriously you look at the PWI News area and all you see are people complaining because they did not get the free stuff. Gimme a break, I choose to charge when I want and if I get a free gift then that is awesome. I bought gold just to get a free mount for my alt char which means I got 6mil back for the ninetails I then sold. So in actual fact I made money in game through this deal. Just because it was $150 don't mean anything, just means people get a rare mount. I just don't get why people bich that much about something that is free. Yet oddly enough tis the people who don't charge who are the one biching.

.... Really? Do we really have to get into another flamefest/trollfest with this kind of topic?
I'm not even going to bother with what I want to say here. You've set yourself up so much it'd be way too easy.0 -
Meh... Sure, I would love to have the red fox mount. However, I'm not going to charge 50gold for it.
Then again, I'm not going to QQ about it... it's my own choice if I'm going to get it or not and it's nice to see such stuff every now and then for the people that spend money.
imma just wait untill they're in the cashshopb:avoid[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

unleashed an unspeakable evil, but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me.Before the final blow was stroked I do opened a portal in time and send him into the future were my evil is grown.Now the fool seems to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku.

This made me LoL.
Anyways, the people that QQ about the rewards have nothing better to do with their time and it's sad that they feel such need to shoot down everything nice PWI gives to us.

Don't really know why people QQ so much, I'm a F2P person so it doesnt really affect me. In fact I like some (but not all) of the changes as its making life easier for me. I think in some ways it's because people get used to certain ways things work. Then something happens to upset the status quo and people are jarred out of their nice little comfortable routine. And people like routines so upsetting them makes them complain.
And its also in part that they want the cake and eat it too (very much a wtf saying after all who doesnt want to eat their cake?) ie they want all the good stuff never mind the fact that it comes at a price somewhere somehow.
Sometimes its people thinking that others get a better deal than them, and they want in on it too and think that the best way to do that is to stir up a ruckus to get the company to cave in so they get the deal too.
Well thats just my thoughts on the matter anyway.0 -

Wow, you sure are deluded and upset.
Something that is 'free' would generally be "no purchase required". What you received was a bonus, but it was not free.
I love your hypocrisy. You're the one who charged and you're the one who is whining. Good job.I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.0 -

lol i was gonna call her out on this but u beat me to it. I personally wasnt gonna buy 150 gold just for a recoloured fox. and to those who call it ''free'' lol i find it interesting because they wouldnt have it if they didnt ''buy'' 150 gold[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Motorcycle.... U MAD?0 -
Not to mention, these mounts are only available for cashshoppers. You can't even trade the mount in game after you receive it. Even though I do cashshop, it's not nearly enough to get 150$ for the black fox (the red one looks ****), and it just proves once again, that PWI is catering towards cashshoppers. It should have been an event in game where everyone could participate and have a fair chance of getting a mount, instead of this one-sided "you gotta buy gold just to get this "free" mount". And like other people said, free means no purchase necessary, in this example, you have to spend 200$ to get both mounts, and even though you can make money from the gold, that doesn't make the mounts free, or else they would give them to you just for playing.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Id Rather buy a cheap bike and get a bonus burger then pay 150 and get a "free" mount, at least the cheap bike will sell for irl cash and get me places in the mean time, do I win yet?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Meh, people just think they should have access to the mount too. They feel entitled to get everything there is in the game without spending any real life money. That isn't the way it works for many games for most of the items. I don't have a problem with them including a bonus sale or whatever for when people spend cash. I see this as the equivalent of getting free clothes from some charity that a mall store donated, and then having the nerve to get mad if the store offers its actual customers a free coupon/pen/item with their purchase. Those in game coins that they allow you to use to buy their items in lieu of paying actual cash? They don't make money off of that. They make money off of people spending actual money. The people spending actual money is what keeps the game free. It's what supports their business. If they want to give nice little bonus items or incentives for shopping with them, why are you complaining? It's not like they put the medals in as bonus items or something that was game breaking. It's just a recolored mount.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

That mount is just a bonus/reward for people that CS, and to make more people spend their money. People that used to spend only 10 bucks sometimes (like me) may spend $50 this month just to get an extra (I had a toon without a mount). Buying charms atm are also giving a bonus, so I made a good stock of them. Like fashion, that mount will not make ppl stronger or even faster. So much QQ for a red/black bound 10m/s mount, LOL Just start to farm mobs and get a Golden Steed ticket, it is also a BONUS for people that grind (looks nice and it's 10/ms too.) Or check your local AH for a cheap or faster mount. b:bye0

I did not even know about it till I saw everyone riding and asked my friend > went to the site > checked my points > bingo!
It was most unexpected but if I did not have enough points, it would of been okay too.
So, what is PWI doing this next Anniversary and when is it again?
Now that is fairly cool
I only got gold because I wanted some charms, I was going to get some zen anyway so why not get a free mount with it. It did not cost me any of my zen and I still get something free.
So to those trying to call me out you are a little dumb.. well maybe a whole lot but hey if pensioners can use the net then I am sure 6 year old's can
Next anniversary is September, just check the about of the site. I actually have two of thee mounts on one char lol I did not notice the 2010 ani is the same mount haha0
