    Fenrir/Cloud at 500k, a bit more reasonable?

    I get it that it's a rare mount/card and not everyone is going to put in the effort/time needed to get it. That's how it's supposed to be. But with that being said, barring winning the big Cactpot or spamming the Imperial for weeks, there's just no reliable, fun way to earn these items.

    I'd like to suggest a more reasonable 500k price tag, in addition to upping the MGP payouts from the mini games. It should take longer than a month to earn, but not quite half a year, you know? Once Heavensward is released, the focus is going to be all about flying mounts (does Fenrir fly?) so unless more rare, flying mounts and accessories are added to the GS, it's going to be a ghost town by that time.

    Just my thoughts FWIW. Hopefully the next patch will make the goals a bit more balanced in terms of time/effort/reward.

    Honestly, 1mil seems perfectly fine to me. It's a vanity mount meant to showcase prestige (and luck, in the case of winning the Jumbo Cactpot). No different than driving around expensive cars IRL. They showcase little to no practical use for anyone besides showing off or making yourself feel unique/above others. It'd be like the Fungah achievement title. Showcases little to no skill in having it, but it certainly is something for e-peen and personal achievement, which is exactly why these things exist. I'm definitely showing that thing off when I get my 10th win, which seems to be eluding me right now... 9/10 wins.

    It'd be pretty funny if Fenrir was made into a flying mount. When I read someone else mention it a while ago, I just started thinking how that would be done. Like, are we gonna be strapping jetpacks to its legs/back? Or are we gonna be seeing a Santa's reindeer thing where magic seems to apparently makes invisible ground they can run on?

    I strongly believe they'll continue making the Gold Saucer relevant throughout. It's so popular, and I'm sure they don't want to see it go into oblivion, so I'd expect more games to be introduced from time to time, along with updated rewards (flying mounts, more pets, more vanity gear, etc). Most definitely won't be happening every patch, but maybe a few times throughout the expansions life, sure.

    I would speculate that they might consider reducing the cost of old rewards when new ones are introduced. Could be wrong, but it would make sense if the way they introduced rewards was similar to the way tome gear was handled.

    I like the price where it's at, but if they add more items in the future, it would be nice to see some of the current items drop in price a bit.

    prices are fine as they are and as others have stated when they release new items more then likely older items will drop in price

    Prices aren't fine, they're ridiculous. But they're cosmetic items. So if you want it, make it a priority, I guess.

    The highest value prices currently have about 2x the amount of what is reasonable (for a rare item).
    So far I've only really heard voices of disagreement from those that aren't planning on obtaining them. (or arent earning much MGP)
    That might just be me being biased I guess.
    (my bias as someone that will get the rewards I want regardless of price, that is)
