Henchman for Gold

I think it would be extremely helpful for Kingsisle to make the henchman that you buy in the crowns shop available for gold. Membership players don't have this luxury and I think that they should.

This is my first post so I hope I'm doing it right. First let me say that I absolutely adore this game. I originally got it for my grandchildren and I end up playing it every night after they go to sleep. I would like to suggest that henchmen and multiple person mounts be available for rent or purchase for gold in the crown shop.
I've talked to a lot of people during the game and everyone would like to see this happen. Being able to buy henchmen for gold would be extremely helpful to those of us who need them to help win spell quests or solo quests but can't afford to buy crowns. When you are battling solo against three opponents whose health is almost ten times the amount you have, start out with full pips and have stronger spells henchmen are the only hope you have of winning. Also being able to use gold to rent a multiple person mount from either Zeke or the crown shop for a week or even a day would make questing together in a group so much easier and fun. Thanks for such a wonderful game and I can't wait for new worlds.

Henchmen shortcut gameplay and therefore will not be available for gold.

The henchmen are considered a short cut in the game and won't be available for gold at any time. Please see Professor Greyrose reply to this thread in this same forum.

There are only a couple of mounts that have ever been sold for gold and it is highly unlikely the multiple player mounts will be included in gold sales.

Professor Greyrose just answered (again) about henchmen:

I do think more mounts, like the ones described,should have more options; either rent or buy for gold, even the bigger ones.

Well then, could you at least make them cost less crowns? I remember when the henchmen began costing more crowns, and your initial post said that "it was just a test/experiment". Lots of bad feedback on the change, and they still cost as much as they do. Also, i'm not seeing any difference in them, they're not "a lot stronger!" like said.... KI, please revert this.
