Seriously SE ? (dual rider chocobo)

[Decrith]

I'm a bit confused, but does the friend have to be on a new account? Or can it be a currently inactive friend who wants to play again?

EDIT: I'm asking because it says 'In order to receive bonus items, your friend must register for FINAL FANTASY XIV using the recruitment code generated by your service account'

But a guy from reddit said he used his alt account that was never subbed (only the free 30 days)

As far as I'm aware it had to be a new account. At least the way they worded it. >.> but if what the person on reddit said was true then does that mean anyone who doesn't have an active account at the moment can put in that code and resub for 90 days? Hmmm... be nice to have a mod confirm this.

EDIT: Found this on reddit
"So, existing accounts that have an FFXIV game code registered to it will have the "Enter Friend Code" button as long as no additional time has been paid on it. That means accounts still within the "free 30 days from the game purchase" are eligible, since the subscription doesn't start until that's done. If a time card is used, no more "Enter Friend Code" button."

My only beef is, I think they should start making events for these things and not because of some sort of payment...or at the very least,add to the subscribers rewards...
I am honestly a little sick of these real money crap...make more FUN events in this game once in a while and let us have really neat things like this.

Not even upset about the chocobo, as I teleport just about everywhere or don't move at all these days and wait for DF...But I do like the circlet.
It's also ninja-added because I haven't seen this at all.

Maybe as a 2% drop from random FATEs if you do them with someone in you friendlist in your party (he need to be in your friendlist since 30 days).

Sucks for me. ALL of my friends already play FF14. lol. Looks like I'll have to buy another account if this is going to be the only duel mount released for sometime. If they don't come out with marriage ill be very disappointed. I was hoping for some kind of perk that goes along with marriage.

What I don't understand is why SE doesn't limit mounts/minions to solely in game activities. First it was the fanfest exclusive, now its RAF. Its obvious from the feedback that there are players out there who are collectors and it feels kind of unfair to make them go to such great lengths to get it. IMO they should just integrate them into the game. For example. if you run a dungeon 200 times with the same person, you will get the mount? This also helps to build friendship and community. It' a subscription game after all.

Because they are mounts and minions and therefore do not affect gameplay, then they are free to have events/giveaways/programs where you can "earn" them. It's perfectly logical and in no way is anybody entitled to any of this simply for paying your monthly subscription.

I'm not even a mount collector myself but believe it or not, there are some people who do play the game just for that. And it's not entirely "entitled" when you still have to run dungeons X number of times like the Pld/War mount.

Pro Tip: SE is running a business and businesses are always looking to bring in more money. This mount will probably get them an additional $10,000,000 for the next few months.
