Goobue mount

[Mooshywooshy]

Its not the same mount.
If they give new era people /legacymark then by all means complain.
If you look at SE's development history equipment wise you will see its very common for them to reskin/add (unmask) small details to equipment.
If you think they were just going to develop a Goobbue mount for people who play in a few month time period and really not reuse the model at all... well now you know what to expect in the future.

They should make a quest reward that gives a legacy chocobo with greyish tail feathers instead of black. After all, it was a special mount that you only had one chance to get, but this one will be a super tiny bit different, so it's ok right? No legacy players would be upset or anything?

you're missing the point, we don't care if you get a new mount its the fact that this was suppose to be one of the unique items us Legacy & 1.0 players got for playing during that time.

If SE is going to give it to everyone, then they might as well have said, "Hey, this is a gift from us saying thanks for playing our game. No one will EVER get a Goobbue mount, just you! So hurry up cause they're not gonna be here forever!!....(...btw after 2.0 we're gonna give people a goobbue but its ok it has flowers, so its all good >_>...)" back in 1.0..

They didn't say we're never getting a Goobbue mount again. They said we're not getting that specific Goobbue mount from 1.0 again.

Achievements from 1.0 the new players can't get, White Ravens from 1.0, Dalamud horn from 1.0, lower subscription fee from 1.0, a Legacy Chocobo, a unique Goobbue and a Legacy tattoo. I don't think I'm missing anything, am I?

Flowers or carpet, it still is a Goobbue mount which has a special meaning to me (even though I didn't participate in a Goobbue wall myself)

Look at the first sentence of my reply above to Gemma, in this same post. As special as it may be to you, I can't get away from feeling like you're kinda being selfish here and I don't mean this in an insulting way (if that's possible >.>) It's just what I underlined in your post that makes me feel such a vibe from it....

Just let it go guys it not even worth it....plus this segregation is the reason we got hit with this stupid housing cost.

You're right. A carpet on my Goobbues head is SO unique. It really helps tell it apart from one with flowers on its head..

Everyone's getting the Goobbue mount either way, so I don't know what you're yelling so feverishly over.

Are you trying to get more free things or something?

You obviously are not getting where I'm coming from, IDC if ppl get this mount by all means have a freakin blast with it. My point was this was something we from 1.0 were told was a gift for playing. All I'm getting at is SE needs to stop saying stuff like "oh this is unique just for you blah blah blah" When obviously it wasn't, the goobbue mount (which is clear to me now) was just a ploy to try to squeeze a little more money out of players during 1.0...

I was disappointed to see this as well. They're way too similar in appearance, and honestly, I think the new one looks better than our legacy Goobbue. The weeds/growth on top of the legacy Goobbue look terrible and is the reason why I hardly ever use it.

If they're going to give out Goobbues they might as well give out everything. There are some things that even as a legacy player, I missed out on. Why shouldn't I be able to get those if non-legacy players can get a Goobbue?

I am not insulted, no worries.
I just feel a bit poked harder than necessary (don't want to say slapped) with an addition of that slightly adjusted Goobbue. People back then used them to defend our cities and I won't be able to forget this that easily.
Plus, if I am not mistaken then story-wise it was only the Wandering Minstrel who was able to / knew how to tame Goobbue so you could ride them. (Yet?!) He isn't in 2.0 so how will they put this? Letting the Sylphs being able to do this in the first place as if the Minstrel learned from them? :/ (I am assuming that you get the new Goobbue from the Sylph daily quests.)

No it's called playing 1.0 and hoping we'd have something to truly distinguish ourselves from 2.0 players. We played when the game was in the gutter and the "big" servers maybe had a couple thousand max players, we kept the game alive with our subs and was promised that we would be rewarded in 2.0 with these things. Legacy Tattoo, Legacy Chocobo, and Goobbue Mount. We can argue all day that it's not the same Goobbue mount but it's still a Goobbue mount.

I think you're just stubborn. Take that any way you want. Also, good morning Columbo! Took a while to realise SE isn't making these games out of the kindness of their hearts but cause it makes them good money. Again, we were never promised a Goobbue mount won't be obtainable again.

I see what you mean but, I'm afraid that lore gets thrown out the window (or at least bent to the extremes) in front of money and money is what the new Goobbue mount is supposed to generate, so to speak. Their "clever" solution here was to give this Goobbue flowers on the head instead of a carpet, in order to keep the 1.0 players distinct (in a considerably smaller way) from the ones with the new Goobbue, who will now feel a bit more satisfied for being able to ride this monster, albeit a lil different, like the 1.0 players can.
