Yes.
 
I believe in this game, so I am a signature member. I'm happy to pay that every month, without the stipend you normally see for subscribed members on a free to play model game, but here's where things get a little dicey for me.
 
Charging what equates to about 30 or so dollars for a holiday mount that can only be claimed on one character genuinely bothers me. It doesn't make me WANT to spend more money in the store, because I'll be restricted to choosing a single character to proudly display my purchase on.
 
I hate to reference WoW, because that really is a dead horse, but putting it frankly, accountbound toys, mounts and pets was the best thing they ever did. It enabled my unnecessary purchasing habits. I, like most people don't have a lot of expendable income, but once again, I do it partially to support a game I believe in and partially to feel that instant gratification of knowing that I have an exclusive item.
 
These mounts and pets are only exclusive if you intend to play one, and only one character for the rest of your Wildstar career, or shell out another <insert outrageously overpriced nstore mount price> Equivar mounts, I'm looking at you. Make it blingy and you might be able to get that 1100+ ncoin, but for a reskinned classic mount, it's a ripoff.
 
I don't want to post about stuff like this, I'm happy wasting away my days in Housing, where I prefer to be, but I'm bothered that I can't just shell out that $30 for a glitzy seasonal mount, without feeling like you guys are slapping us in the face.
 
Account Bound. Learn it. Love it. Live it.

Agreed. I might spend omnibits on single-use stuff, but Ncoins cost real money and I'm not gonna spend it on one time crap.
 
On a side note, dyes are multi-redeem now.  They were single redeem last time I checked.  So Carbine may be listening already.

			I hadn't noticed with the dyes, but like, with the costumes at LEAST you redeem them and can put them into your holo wardrobe and everyone gets access to them, just... the mounts. SO expensive for one character.

			I'm just worried this is a preview of things to come. Game is still buggy to all hell but we got $20 1 use mounts?

			The price gouging nature of the in-game store is ruining Carbine's reputation. At least for me it is

100% freebot right here. I refuse to pay for single character items or support a game in it's current state.
 
If this was a perfectly working game with a massive playerbase, it could get away with a store like that. The fact that it's taking it's prices off other free to play games while not having a playerbase to support it isn't the best idea i've seen.
