$25 isn't that much money, especially when nobody is forcing you to pay it for a NOVELTY item. I can't believe somebody would actually use the argument of this item being unfair because you can get from 1-20 marginally faster. That's about as game-breaking as allowing somebody to pay to have new characters start with 2 gold so they can buy a few extra bandages and a safe haven scroll. This is a non-issue, and the only reason somebody is crying about it is because they want the horse but can't afford it (or just love to hate things for no good reason)

I don't know about anybody else, but I've spent a lot more than $25 on other hobbies. Granted the outcome is usually more in my favor than having a novelty black horse with flaming feet (which btw I would totally buy a real life one for $25 if anybody is selling one), but the end result is the same; I'm rewarding a company (who makes a product I enjoy) by purchasing available products from them to help support them. Will my $25 make or break them? No, but it's $25 more they can put to good use

I just bought one. Keep up the good work EME, I'm one of the patient players who knows that Rome wasn't built in a month or two. As for anyone who doesn't like the fact that I bought one, this is for you

"(which btw I would totally buy a real life one for $25 if anybody is selling one)"

I could set a horse's hooves on fire if you'd like and charge you 25. I can't promise that I own the horse. Or that this sort of thing wouldn't cause damage to the horse.

Actually depending where you buy it, can be $25 so the same price of all the content in tera besides vanity shop is the same value as this one mount.

They can charge whatever they want for it, I really don't care. The part I DO object to is the P2W aspect of giving players a level 60 quest reward speed mount at level 1 if they are willing to pay extra.

The slipperly slope everyone saw coming has begun. The cash shop is no longer purely cosmetic.

The price compared to the game. . .and the advantage you bring up of level 1 players being able to use it is a bit over the top I guess. . .maybe reduce the level requirement for any mount that can be used or something.

11 level head start is pretty nice for those who do purchase this at least.

A staple mount for someone who's wanting to stick with this game for a long time and wanting to have a lot of alts. I'm that person, but I will unlikely buy this just because of the price, the amount of other players that are going to have it, and it kinda bugs me that EME is making good use of the pressure tactic of the limited time that this mount will be available for.

wait all you guys r planing on making a ALT dont make me laugh.

RNG + grind +glyph farming ToT all over again just so u can ride it on ur lvl 1 char in the begining

the game isnt fun enough to make another char or atless get that other char all the tot farming

it happened in wow, it happens here. surprised?

That blizzard does pathetic things like that with their p2p title and get away with it (and other greedy companies copy paste that), doesn't suddenly make this "all right". Regardless of the price.

I would probably buy this for $10. I'd also buy the weapon skins if they were a few dollars each. It's too early in the games life to get bored with what Tera already has on offer. Stuff like this would probably be better marketed in six months or so. Good luck to you EME, I hope you sell plenty to keep the game running. I just can't justify that much on them myself though.

Could be worse.... Perfect World International sells flying mounts at up to $50 and ground mounts for up to $40, and they are bound to only one character. And in all honesty, console games are selling for $60, and most of them only last 20 hours or less, and then done. I have spent $50 for Tera, and $30 in subs, totaling $80 and have played approximately 200 hours, which would in turn be $600 in console games.... I have no problem supporting a game with an extra $25 here or there, when it is occupying my time that would otherwise be spent console gaming which would result in me spending more money than I need to. And by no means am I saying I buy that many console games, but I am comparing their worth.
