You cant skip it but it's much more forgiving.

nothing wrong with allowing people the option to choose. i don't understand why people are against it, if you don't want to spend the books, then don't. if others have their BIS and just need the mount? then they have other options than being stuck in weekly lockouts with pugs and no way to guarantee you're going to get the mount. 8 books is a lot, it will still keep the content relevant and people will still do their weekly p8s grind
So, after years of Savage mount drops being as they are, we now need a new method to pick them up because....
ignoring the fact that people have been requesting this almost every tier... you're suggesting that just because its been this way for years that it doesn't need change? really?
before they added totems for extreme fights, there wasn't any for years. before they added, fixed, and moved data centers, we just dealt with the bad latency for years. before they added normal / story mode, people just had to not see the raid story or be forced into content they didn't like to see the story for years. there was a time we didn't have glamour or dye options, there was a time atma and other relic related drops were less than a 1 percent drop per fate / dungeon etc, we had to deal with that for years... hopefully you get the point.
just because something has been the same for years doesn't mean it cant be changed / fixed / made better. if anything, since it seems people are being offended by this suggestion, make it so that you can buy the mount with books halfway through the tier, that way at least people have some sort of hope instead of fighting RNG in PF.
So after years of using quill and ink, society would need to constantly keep them instead of pens and pencils, becauuuuseee?
Like, Deveryn, I won't deny that maybe people are approaching this as too simplistic given the sort of rewards they are... But wording it like this? Holding onto the past and saying it's a good design just because "it works"? I mean sure, life's good, but if it can be better, why not?
So we're gonna sit here and compare the plight of the savage raider to minorities who have actually suffered and died at the hands of legit assholes. Sure, let's unpack this some more. Nothing says "I don't care about this topic either" like bringing up some insane bullshit like that.
