Beast tribe minions/mounts feel like a slap in the face.

[BobbinT]

We checked the the Beast Tribe Lead who informed us that the plan was for these rewards to be considered valuable collector's items for those who purchase them, so we don't have any plans to lower their prices.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I'm quite unsatisfied with this. Even with all gils I got from beast tribe quest since day 1, the cost purchasing minion/mounts are far too expensive. And to boot, the gobbue mount are really a huge ripoff and disappointment since for legacy players expecially, it's just another gobbue with it's head covered with laurels instead of carpet. That is kinda bad example of what you guys called "valuable collector's item".

I checked my income/outcome, and the total cost of them are like 3 times of what I earned from total of 45 days doing beast tribe dailies.

I'm sorry, I'm just really not happy about this.

For all 4, it comes out to 290,000 gil. That is a pretty big chunk of gil. Doing dailies every day for 46 days, and finally capping both tribes' reputation today, and our reward is spending a ton of money on mounts and minions.

50k per mount would have been alright. 120k is insane. 25k per minion is just insane as well.

Optional content is optional, if you don't think the 'rewards' are worth the effort you don't have to do the content.

Stop whining.

I really expected these mounts to be given away as a reward specifically for reaching rank 4.

Once I actually made it there and then learned they had a 6-digit price tag, I just laughed to myself and moved on. What a waste of time

[Kincard]

Having the minions/mounts be a reward for reaching max rank would've made more sense IMO. But that's not really my major beef with the daily quests anyway- my major beef has more to do with the fact that SE seems to be incapable of creating meaningful or interesting quests. There was only 4 major quests per daily chain and neither one of them had anything interesting happen, nor did either of them tell me anything useful about the beastmen tribes. I know barely anything more about their culture, rituals, etc after all of it. It's a bunch of busywork to get to "story" quests that are transparent attempts to waste more the players' time.

Really hilarious they advertised this as "getting to know the beastmen tribes better". Next time, make some actual quests and that might be a half-truth.

If it wasn't a valuable collectors item, then people wouldn't be complaining because they want it. That is basically the definition of valuable collectors item. Most people want it, not everyone can get it.

I think the real bigger issue is how difficult it is to make money in this game, due to the market economy being terrible.

You can make gil without involved in the market. Just do the contents that reward you with gil (duty roulette as example). And in 10 days you have enough for a mount.

collector's item

yeah, right... with limitless supply... As usual SE threats its customers as idiots. Making housing a huge gil sink is not enough?

for doing mind-numbingly-boring quests for 30 days or more, these mounts should be sold at awesome price of 0 gil.

[SeleneSinclair]

It's optional....And extremely casual to complete. My only disappointment was the lack of a decent saddle on the drakes. My Miqo'te isn't enjoying hard scales up her furry behind.

I agree. What is the point of grinding out all these tedious, repetitious quests to ingratiate yourself to said tribe (Sylvan particularly annoying as they appear to have complete amnesia) only to be rewarded with an outstretched palm.

"Thank you hero for all your tireless work in saving our lives/society/way of life. Let me show our appreciation for all your hard work and self sacrifice by selling you this mount..."

When I learned there were four tiers of reputation and the cost of the mount I stopped doing any Beastmen quests. When they were originally implemented I understood they were a new exp stream because of the ridiculously limited options open to people levelling additional jobs but like many others we soon learned S-E had worked their usual magic of taking something that sounded awesome and managing to make it a tedious, lacklustre timesink by not only restricting them to 43+ but also making the exp rewards laughable.
