Wing Mounts for Gold

KingsIsle, I would like it if we could buy the permanent wing mounts with gold. All the permanent mounts are available to buy with gold, with the exception of the new Celestia mounts, the Dream Filly, and the wing mounts. As it goes with the houses and most of the mounts the gold price is 10x the amount of the Crowns price, so it seems 70K would be an appropriate price for the wing mounts. Please post your opinion on the matter.

I bought the Crowns-Only wings, but I don't see why they can't just make it buyable with Gold. The Dragon and Tiger mounts are buyable with gold and are much cooler anyway.

The Price of Exploiting
Recently players found an exploit that allowed them to unfairly obtain the new winged mounts.

Players who participated in this exploit will have the items removed from their accounts. We will be recovering the item(s) and issuing a credit to the account equal to the gold amount paid. Players may experience disconnects while this inventory recall takes place. Players are welcome to re-purchase the item(s) according to the posted Crown pricing.

If you participated in this exploit, know that we will not tolerate abuse of the systems in place. Using exploits in game is a violation of the Terms of Use and continued exploitation may result in permanent account bans.

Wings on Bosses
It seems many young Wizards are diligently looking for the new Winged Mounts on the high level bosses of the Spiral.

We've just discovered that they're not dropping at a high enough rate, and we will be adjusting this rate in the future.

Until then, give the poor bosses a break and continue with your adventures in the Spiral. We will let you know when the drop rate has been reset.

To this point, they have not 'let us know' when the drop rate will be reset. I had figured it would have only taken them a month or so, but it's been almost 9 months. In fact, in a week and a day it will have been 9 months to the day.

Yes, we know that a lot of items in the crowns shop are buyable with gold, but it is called the crowns shop for a reason.
