There's a saying: "Never look a gift horse in the mouth". Yet, here we all are, taking a good look because we feel entitled to better. Would you rather have got nothing?
i pay a sub to access the game, yes. but i maintain a constant sub because i want these rewards, i'd be fine going without playing a month before a new patch since i go through most of the content before the next patch is released. i would argue it's not a "gift horse" as square enix is incentivising an uninterrupted subscription on my part with the promise of these rewards. so you'll have to excuse me if you believe me entitled when i say the aetheryte tickets suck. acquiring teleport gil is not a problem, just do your dailies and you have a decent number of teleports a day with a little bit left over.

wind up odin is beautiful though i only wish the companion reward was any where near its level.
