People NEED to understand something, it is OPTIONAL. You don't HAVE to have it , you don't HAVE to have it and you don't HAVE to pay for it.
It is OPTIONAL....
I am gonna buy it cause I like it . It's my choice as I'm not bothered as to how much it is. I don't have to have it but I want it.
Personally I think if they do start adding in 4-man hard dungeons/raids, they should make Castrum and Prae the first ones. Have Livia, Nero, and Gaius armors be rewards for it, both the White Devil and Red Baron mounts be VERY RARE drops, meaning you can still get it or just buy it now and not have to deal with RNG.
Also a little Ultima Weapon minion, for funs.
This mount was purely designed as something to sell. It's just like the scion costumes.
It might have made more sense for it to drop in castrum, but that boat sailed a long time ago. That and, I'm not sure everyone realizes how toxic socially a group that is farming that would be. We are talking about content that wouldn't require any effort. Get ready for people magically going afk during fights constantly and just doing barely enough work to not get kicked. Or perhaps they bring 4 of their friends and duty finder the rest, so they can't be kicked since need a majority vote.
It could be fine, maybe I just personally have had bad experiences. I find much better Thordan Ex farm parties than I did like diadem farm parties. What is it about easy content that people seem to think it means they can afk the entire time or just be jerks? :(
And in this case, it's not like they didn't already have the model for White Devil lying around. They literally took the existing model, slapped on the attributes of the existing magitek mounts, and done. That took an intern all of an hour to do. It's not like it's taking away weeks of development time. (Did Red Baron already exist? I can't remember.)
Funny how everyone on this forum works in IT department or as a game developer, producer or sociologist.

Yeeeah about it.... It's nice =) The mount music is nostalgia overload and the white actually looks pretty nice, it makes a lot of the little details I didn't notice on the black/gold pop a bit more
