    In true F2P style, the mount is actually only available from store, instead of content itself.

    yep, soured the entire event.  is it fun? yeah, I mean the tracks are cool to run through a few times...but everyone was eagerly waiting to earn their hoverboard...and then it was a cash shop only mount - ~$15 PER character.  They did the same thing with the cool, unique Halloween mount - they teased the Skeletal Warpig on the REWARDS page of the Shade's Eve event...and then that turns out to be a store only mount.  It's ok - either the whales will keep the ship afloat or the game will go down in flames a second time (this time for good.)  With all the bugs still present in the game from a year ago and new bugs added every day, lag, ridiculous prices on in game "services" like dying costumes and rune-ing gear that try to push you to use the store purchased service tokens...not looking good at all which is sad because behind the pile of garbage is a stylish, decently fun game.  I know they need to make money somehow, but they are making some bad marketing decisions on how to do it so far imo - actively making people NOT want to spend money on the game is not exactly what you should be striving for.

    The hoverboard mount can be attained with those ingame credits that you get every once in a while. So i don't really see a problem with that. Or is it another mount?

    People want everything for free. Game is sub only: "ITS AN AMAZING GAME BUT I CANT PAY, PLEASE GO F2P!!" Game goes F2P: "OMG I CAN PLAY FOR FREE NOW BUT ALL THE GOOD STUFF COSTS MONEY IN THE SHOP" (in the future) Good stuff is F2P: "WHATS THE POINT IN THE STORE ANYWAY, HOW DOES THE GAME MAKE MONEY?" *Game dies*
