I cannot imagine being the only one thinking this so I figured i'd bring it up, because it partly drives me furious.
Who's idea is it, to have item X appear in loyality shop, only to appear 1 week later in the cash shop ?
Certain costumes, mounts etc. are constantly appearing and disappearing in all 3 shops, without any way of foreseeing where & when they'll pop up.
A long time ago, you had the sloth glider back in the boxes. I think it either came with the Squirrel, or it was in the box the week after. Either way, once the Squirrel Glider was removed, it appeared very quickly in the Merit-Badge shop for like 400merit ? Who would buy that for 400 merit if it's on the AH for 300g due to it's appearance in the cash shop a couple days earlier ?
The Fusciafin, it was in the loyality shop. I bought it for i think 600 or 800 loyality. A handful of weeks later, you introduced the Seabug mount. You were able to buy it for max. 3K gold of the AH. With the current prices of Lucky Sunpoints, my Fusciafin purchase equals 12.000gold in loyality. I could've gotten a faster water-mount for a quarter of the price..
It happens every month..
The Dragon Cultist Duster Costume: when i created my character 7 months(?) ago, i had my preview character wear this exact outfit, so i can find a nice appearance to match this outfit. Eventually, i thought, i'd obtain this outfit and have my perfect little dwarf.
After 6 months it finally appeared in the loyality shop for 400 loyality (again, equals 6.000gold with the current lucky sunpoint prices. Now 2 weeks ago, it appeared straight-up purchasable on the cash-shop for 1.200 credits which barely equals up for 1.500gold.
You guys have influence of what is inside the shops. Can you not find a way to make everyone happy, for god's sake ? Is it too much to ask for to have something that is in the loyality shop, not be obtainable anywhere else for an acceptable time, so people who actually used their "loyality towards the server" don't get screwed and basically have a middle-finger thrown at them by you, the devs ?
Why are item's that are obtainable for 300g (Squirrel), being put in the merit-badge shop, for an amount of merit, that in no way, anybody would spent over simply buying it with gold ? Why is the exact opposite happening, where a costume worth 6000 gold gets dumped way below a quarter of it's recent value, by making the exact same one purchaseable with credits ?

Seriously, i don't understand your mindset on the shops at all.
There's so much to complain about, what about putting the Sloth in the boxes, "due to high-demand", only to throw in the God of War glider, that basically does the same, just better, in the new box a couple of weeks later ? "Good thing i didn't buy the sloth and waited, now i have a better one" - oh whoops, how foolish of you to think that.. "Let's throw in a third glider in a row that renders the last 2 useless because it's - once again - best in slot" - whoever is in charge of the shops.
You even had a thread opened prematuerly, to ask your players what they think of the Ravenspine Wings.
https://na.archerage.to/forums/index.php?threads/ravenspine-wings-discussion-thread.6560/
The entire discussion only had one input by a team-member, which was Sjinderson basically summarizing what the majority of player's suggestions were.
You never let us know what your decision will be, or what you think of adjusting about it.
The thread died and all we knew was 2 months later it was announced to be in a box, still having immunity.
Now people use invincibility from defense whenever they're about to die or have their auramancy immunity proc, then take off with the glider, teleport away mid-air, land & have their serp sleeves immuneproc aswell while they get on their mount to invincibility-dash away into invisibility. Great PvP experience, really.
For real, if you think this is just a wall of text with complaining about everything, then take it this way.
But i'm trying to make you guys realize, that you're insulting and finger-flipping your players everytime you do something like this.
