SE can we please buy ponies with Rowen's tokens ?

Ok so you raised the drop rate on the Primal pony mount but these are still not fun to farm. I seen 13 drop since patch 2.4 joining various pony farming parties. Usually when someone wins a pony they leave shortly after making you get someone else who needs it. I have done so many EX primal runs and don't have a single mount to show for it.

I would suggest making the ponies available for like 9 rowen's tokens. That is 3 weeks of doing the weekly EX primal quest for 1 mount that seems fair and takes the very annoying RNG out.

There needs to be something in this game for players to pursue as an aside to the regular token grind...if everything is just handed out for tokens or nerfs then what fun is it when you finally do win something that was once super rare? Beast tribes have mounts you can farm over time. It's not like they are gated behind content that you can't do in Duty Finder >< Ponies should be left as is ><

I made a suggestion about this some time ago: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Tokens-Mirrors :)

Well, I've bothced every single 2 and 3 star fish, as well as each pair of Artisan's Glasses at level 90+ desynths in the past 2+ weeks. I'd like some tokens in return to compensate for the time lost.

This wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe like 20 tokens for a pony or something?

It'd get some players interested in running the first set of EX Primals again, if nothing else.

That's exactly what's happening with increased drop rates. People are indeed going back to earlier Primal EX battles. The bitter truth is, there has to be a RNG in place to make us coming back for more (playing and paying) cause "I'll surely get it next time!"

Doesn't even have to be ponies just give us anything new to use Rowena's tokens on. Bothers me so much how worthless they are.

dunno 'bout that.
the ninja weapon looks really neat :)
and I'm looking forward to the DRK weapon, too *_*

I haven't seen a single pony since 2.4... :(

Gah am I the only one who thinks those are kinda lame to begin with?

Maybe it's just me and I'm happy if you like those but personally the ponies just feel kinda un-Final Fantasy somehow.

The super rare drops would be less painful if there were also optional long-grind ways to obtain them. Don't make them free, just less lottery please.

Awhile back Yoshi said they would add some stuff to buy with the Tokens since currently they don't really have much use because i90 weapons are too outdated. Mounts would be the perfect thing to buy with them.

I agree with this. I'm getting very frustrated. I've been farming EX primals for over 5 months, and have completed close to 200 wins between the primals. I don't have a single mount.

Since the latest patch, I've seen (and lost out on) 4-5 Xanthos, 2 Nightmares and an Enbarr. Still haven't seen any of the other mounts drop.

And no, I'm not asking for a handout. I'm asking for a way to actually be able to get one of these mounts after all the wins I've put in.

I've lost track of how many times I've cleared ex primals. On my raid groups optional day we sometimes spam them. I've only seen one drop and it went to the only PUG we picked up. lmao. I've given up all hope.

I'd like to see this feature, but I'm sure the devs will be against it because they want them to be RNG rare.

Not really no. That is a very flawed logic. I can assure you me and a lot more players would farm the EX's for content is there was any semblance of guarantee you'll eventually get one.

If they made it 20 tokens per pony, I would run a total of 60 Primal runs for one, and 420 runs for all 7 of them. I guarantee you this is much many more runs that I would ever do with the current system. Right now I sometimes, maybe once in a blue moon do a single run before remembering how terrible the system is and not bothering. It took me all of 10 tries with the new "Increased drop rate" before I realized it is an exercise in futility.

Leaving this here for OP. :)
