I want an official response.

Nothing in the eternal bond cash shop list takes away from what is offered in game, you don't need any of it to start, do and complete the quest or to look and role play to your hearts content with the costumes and such added for free. The Savage Coil title is tied to defeating the bosses in the Coils, allowing people to pay for the title makes no sense and it is far beyond unlikely SE would even entertain the notion.

If they offered new random titles in the cash shop I would have no problem though.

If they offered the usual costume, minion and flair items with Starlight while also offering more costumes and minions in the cash shop to go along I would not have a problem at all.

But it does. Those things would have been in the game for free if not for the cash shop.

Actually more than likely they would not exist at all.

i beg to differ sir, the mount was advertise something like 4-6 month ago, then this content was already in creation, it was in game anyway, the point is they have decide to make people pay for it, not one time... but two time, nothing less. one time per person. the price of the platinum version is almost as expensive than the game itself... if that only don't make you wonder why this price?

because the best is this, the difference between the gold and the platinum are one prism and one clothing....for the double price of the gold.

That is fine, you are free to differ. Advertising the mount? I don't recall them saying that it would be available through the game at any point. I recall pictures when they initially announced Eternal Bond, but nothing about you getting a free mount with the ceremony.

Yes it upsets me , because people are being ripped off^^ and they dont even notice it^^

No one is, but thanks

Or maybe it wouldn't be in the game period. None of us players really know what will be in the game and what won't be in the game. So please don't make statements like that without some form of proof.

Do you think those ideas suddenly popped up and were developed between October and 2.45? There has been concept art for Eternal Bond for at least a year, and those things were developed with the sub money we all pay. Had the community not shown support for a cash shop,or if they had not just accepted it because 'it doesn't affect what I like!', then they would have been implemented without being in the cash shop.

Edit: Forgot to mention the biggest one: Sleipnir. Sleipnir as a mount has been in the game since release. You know how Odin appears as a player riding Sleipnir? That's exactly the same thing they use for the player mount. It was already in the game, and it was cut for the cash shop.

The cash shop didn't just magically pop up because the community supported it. It was an inevitability to come, most if not all games have micro transactions. SE isn't dumb they see how the gaming industry has been trending for years and are capitalizing on it. If the cash shop wasn't here you would probably get the free watered down wedding and that would be it. Instead they decided to put a more elaborate version on the cash shop.

As for Odin's mount yes it may be bad that they put it on the cash shop after you were able to get it for free but honestly does it really break the game? Does it really upset you that much?

If you are that upset then you have some serious issues. This is a game for enjoyment. If something as minor as that can affect your life maybe gaming isn't for you...
