ThelemachusRhade Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes this is concerning the Rancor mount and here's my point. I grudgingly agree that there is no way a mount like this won't be reskinned and monetized on the cartel market. However, BW has already set a precedent for exclusive mounts including the tank from NiM EC and the transformer mount from NiM S&V. So by reskinning the rancor mount for everyone including NiM opperations, BioWare is basically showing favoritism to the PVE community and putting another nail in the coffin of the PVP community. The only fair and logical way to repair this catastrophe is to let the PVP community have the Rancor mount exclusive for at least 6 months with a possible reskin for season 2. This will make up for the exclusivity the PVErs have enjoyed with their 2 mounts for the last year and a half and will continue to drive interest for ppl to do ranked PVP, something which is badly needed. After the exclusive period the Rancor, tank and transformer mounts should be reskinned and made available to both PVP and PVE and of course be put in the cartel market. BioWare I think you have slapped the PVP community enough and you've seen it die over the last year and a half. If you have an ounce of respect for your PVP player base you will not continue on this path. Thanks for reading my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanyen Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Grow up. The only argument against giving a reskin version is "I don't want them to have it." Seriously. It doesn't take away the accomplishment of earning the original version, which is what the rewards are for anyway. I don't care if they add a reskin version of every single mount. It still won't be the same as the original, and it won't hold the same prestige as earning the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think we're not just a little miffed at that? Just be happy you're getting the rancor mount first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I agree changes should be as equal as possible. Two wrongs don't make a right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is: Be happy with getting the Rancor mount FIRST. Because it will still be a while before progression raiders or cartel market purveyors get their shot at even a reskinned version of it.

horrorfaneightys Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This again? Seriously? Anyone with an inkling of intelligence realised that a long-asked for and iconic mount was not just going to be made available to a small part of the community. PVPers get an exclusive version of that mount style though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
