Anyone else feel that the 250g for the griffon mount is a bit much, I already have the mount myself, but it feels like the same thing as saying oh you need to buy a commander tag to finish a large chunk of pof content.

dchsknight.3042

I don't think it is much. I mean it is not a legendary item. it isnot that much more special than the other mounts. so paying 250 for a unnescarery special item, does not seem that bad.

Haishao.6851

I think it was fine. 250 gold isn't expensive.Would be stupid to have pvp achievement for something that is pve only.

Nick Lentz.6982

You literally do not need the griffon. Price point is moot. That seems to be the point every one forgets.Do you need legendary weapons or armor? NoDo you need collections? NoDo you need a tag? No.

Syktek.7912

It's actually a lot easier to get compared to flying mounts in other MMOs. I'd say be happy they didn't make the requirements higher.

CptAurellian.9537

The griffon is a vanity mount and not a necessary one like the others. So yes, 250 gold is a perfectly fine price.

Tom Bombadil.6310

I completely disagree,the griffon provides convenience for some of the content but is not needed to do anything except for griffon adventures. The griffon therefore indubitably is a prestige mount. 250g is still really cheap considering its a long term goal.
