I've paid 25$ twice for mounts that I really wanted in WoW, I'll do the same here just throw me a bone ok?
 
 
I want this mount so bad. It's called the Marauder Orbitron IIRC http://i.imgur.com/XOeZp9s.png
I'd pay 25$ for it,
THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN AND NOTHINGS HAPPENING!

He's kidding! He'd pay $5 for that, maybe $10.
 
...please don't ask for WoW prices.

They're both kidding! She'd pay 15p for that, maybe 20p.
 
...please don't ask for a cash shop.

Tie it to in-game achievements or something as well maybe...rewards for achievements is my fav method...
----
			Make it available through in-game means. Please no cash shop. It leads to bad things. Giving us shineys in game to attain through gameplay keeps us... you know... PLAYING.

I absolutely hate achievements, completionist stuff was better because it tied itself to unlocks of other things in the game and % complete of game status.
but the point is I need the mount and I would put up a lot to get it.

I love it, it's a goal while playing the game and you get a lil somethin somethin to show off for it. Even if it's how elder gem gear is handled where you have to defeat certain content to unlock it for purchase would be great to me.
 
The mount you display in this thread I can easily see as something being unlocked for completing for example a veteran version of Shiphand "The Gauntlet" under an unlock like something silly as "RAGE N THE CAGE!!!"

I wouldnt mind achievements if they didnt replace completionist material.

I don't understand this at all. Can you give an example of what you mean? I am not playing dumb, I honestly don't understand how achievements in any way interferes with completionists...
----
			
My hubby is very much a completionist, me, not so much. He has always been able to find things to continue doing at max level that involved going back to old zones and doing stuff. He likes to do every quest that he can. He likes getting all the achievements. He likes killing swarms of mobs (usually tied to an achievement as well). He likes collecting in-game items (costumes, house items, pets, mounts, titles....). I'm not sure why you think there is less for completionists to do in MMOs since the advent of achievements. If anything, it gives them ideas they might not have otherwise thought of. I don't see how achievements and completionist material need to be mutually exclusive.
 
Goodness knows that WS has an abundance of achievements. EQ2 had lots of cool hidden achievements, like using /hug on a hundred different characters. I loved those the best. I always thought they should have had city guards attack you if you taunted them or gave them the finger, then get an achievement for it (one for winning, one for losing). That would be funny.	
----
			
Make a ticket asking why It's not dropping/is in the game?
 
That's at least what I did with the Marauder flairs, which were not dropping from anywhere..
 
According to Jabbithole it was last seen in live, so technically that should mean its obtainable somehow?	
----
			Cool achieve rewards would be one of the best things to happen to this game

			Say no to cash shop pl0x	
----
			
Seriously, whats so bad about cash shop?
 
That you could actually, instead of having to farm mobs with a 0.12% chance of dropping the mount or item, or having to pay 30 plat for, buy for 5-15 dollars and get something exclusive?
 
Grinding for obtainable items for days, maybe with lots of other people doing the same thing, is certainly not for everyone... that's not playing the game and enjoying it, Its just *%#@¤ annoying.

Cash shop steals dev time from the game. Art and item devs are then forced to create items that sell, and none of those items show up in game because it would cut into the bottom line.

{| class="blockquote"
They are constantly making more stuff, not like some small cosmetic items will steal much dev time from the game..

Chua recommend getting this mount through Quest:
 
Must have gold on all dungeons and adventures on all difficulties
Must have found and imbued legendary gloves
Must farm 1000 metal pieces for the cage with a 0.1% each from Datascape trash
Must pay ofcourse 250p for the poor Chua to assemble it
Chua think is fair and #hardcore enough for epic mount.

What I WOULD pay for:

In this case, though, the OP is just asking for a mount that already exists in the game. No time taken from devs' busy schedules.
----
			No cash shop. However, a CREDD shop would be ok with me. That way people could buy the shop items with CREDD.

My lone opinion among the masses:
 
I am also against cash shop items for mounts and costumes, etc. They are supposed to be a badge to show the work you put into it, not something you just picked up at the store. And yes, managing a cash shop would take additional effort + customer support.
 
That being said, I would like to see a pay option for server / faction / race / gender changes. I don't think that would be too hard for them to set up through their website.
 
Oh... and for the love of God! Path changes! (Hopefully they get around to making soldier and explorer more useful anyway...) I would probably make this an in-game plat option or something though, which requires releveling the path.

Want mounts in cash shop?
Fine, then Chua recommend this one:

			eh still gonna have to go with 100% in game. I'd rather it be that people would need to grind  a thousand Torine for a mount than a cash shop...

			i would pay a monthly sub to not have any sort of cash shop that gives players in game items.	
----
			I wouldnt mind if they had a cash shop of cosmetic items, that cost $15 or 1 Credd so that I can get them without having to pay money. You should also be able to buy a race change for $15 or 1 credd.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It's technically abitrary to the point, The point is I wants it and It must be mine and I'm willing to pay over enlarged price tags for it.

			I'm actually surprised people condone a cash shop in a game you already pay monthly for, whether it's cosmetic or not. 	
----
			Only so long as it is cosmetic, sparingly, also available for Credd.

{| class="blockquote"
It;s fine when it's very very sparingly done.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It's never fine, even if it starts that way.  Every time a company does this, it always ends up ultimately changing priority to spend development time to make things they know people will want just so they can monetize it.
 
In-game items(cosmetic or otherwise) for real money are bad for everyone.

Personally I can't agree with a cash shop when we have a P2P model. Our monthly 15$ hopefully covers the content that we're supposed to get and support Carbine in continuing improving on Wildstar. 
A cash shop right now would be a huge slap in the face, especially with the state of the game in mind. Even if we were in better circumstances, I'd still say no to a cash shop while we have a P2P model.
 
I wouldn't have responded to this thread if I didn't see that there was quite a few who actually supports a cash shop in wildstar. Scares me a little.

You're taking this the wrong way. I don't want a designated cash shop either. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I wouldn't mind a few Collectables in their shop along with the basic account services and CREDD.
 
I'm not asking for a fullblown cash shop, that's not the idea im trying to portray nor is that what I'm asking for. I'm not asking for a TERA 2.0.
 
Get that off the table because that's not what I'm suggesting or implying.
 
I'm just saying that I really *cupcake*in want that mount and I'd be willing to throw money at the screen. I just want the mount.

I'm not opposed to in game cash shops, in fact many F2P MMOs out there know me as a big fat whale who gives up the cash like the world's most easily breakable money pinata, but I do prefer when people start off with requesting items be put into a subscription game as achievement/rewards/whatever before they start asking for the items for real money because, on a level, they're volunteering my money as well. And the money of their fellow subscribers. And I don't recall giving them permission to do so. It's different in a full on F2P game like LoL, DoTA or Marvel Heroes, but in a subscription or hybrid F2P/sub game, I feel that subs should always try to cover as much of the game's content as realistically possible.
 
Additionally, once an item or service is in the cash shop (ie. faction change, species change, sex change) it realistically ends the possibility of developers placing these things into the base game as part of the subscription. If it ends up as a cash shop item, so be it, but I feel that it should always be a subscribers default stance to ask for desired items/services to be included in the base game before holding up a fist full of cash saying "please take more of my money."

Big NO to cash shops for anything but account services.     
       
If an item does not drop as it should - yes they should definitely fix that (that mount looks sweet).
 
If an item is hard to get - GOOD, now you just got a personal goal in the game! If you don't have the patience for it, then that's too bad.      
      
Plus, if it is Bind on Use, you can already pay real money for it by selling CREDD and picking up the mount on the AH.

{| class="blockquote"
You keep contradicting yourself.  You say you don't want a cash shop, and precede to ask for just that.  You can't have your cake and eat it too.
----
			
Well one of those 2 games is freemium now and the other is just a "monster" of things in and of itself. I don't think having 2 games qualifies as "not all too uncommon", and even so 
 
The only time that "collectables" have been acceptable to me are X(deluxe, collectible, etc) edition items where said items were done prior to the launch of the game in question and are not acquirable by other means OR an item was given as part of a recruit a friend program. That is the only way I'd accept "collectables" via real money purchasing.
 
Beyond account services such as transferring, name/race/sex change, etc...I don't want any cash shop items cosmetic or not. 
 
 
IF anything why not ask for them to switch this mount with the cruddy mount you get for using the authenticator.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I like this idea the best! WoW kept me going at it longer than it normally would have because I wanted to unlock achievements in order to get in-game titles, pets, and mounts.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Incorrect, this is not a contradiction.
 
Collectables in a games services shop is not all too uncommon, both when it was Pay to Play TERA and WoW have had/do have account shop collectables but these do not constitute a full on game supportive cash shop in which games like TERA(current day) Rely on for income.

Just throwing it out there that mounts like this could be given to us for being subbed once a month...  All active subscribers deserve it....
 
Just saying, it can end up on a cash shop after for all I care, but if Carbine was dropping things like this on us monthly as a "thank you", it'd go a long way to mollifying people agitated about the drop schedule going quarterly.
