Optional item request: Legacy Goobue mount

[Emerald_Wyvern]

I'm conflicted on this. As a non-Legacy player who couldn't play 1.x because my pc was a popoto at the time, I do want this. However, it IS one of those things Legacy players deserve for sticking with the game. On the other hand, it's not like its the Legacy Chocobo or Mark. Not every Legacy player has it since, from what I read, it was from a side quest in Coerthas so it'd give both new players and old ones another shot at it. But then again, it would be devaluing the mount's significance. I'm fine if we don't get it, and I'm fine if we do.

Just to clarify, this is incorrect. It was not a quest reward. If you had a combat class at or above level 30, you spoke to the Wandering Minstrel south of Camp Bloodshore in La Noscea once, he told you a prophecy and then he gave you a horn that unlocked the mount. That single interaction gave you the item; it wasn't a quest and it wasn't in Coerthas.

Edit: Also, I'm a Legacy Campaign player, I supported the game when many others had run for the hills. I'd like it if the Goobbue had been tied to the account rather than to the character (I'm an alt-aholic and not all of my alts have it) but I'm fine with it being the way it is so that the integrity of the limited time run of the item/mount stays in tact. I disagree with the re-release of previous holiday items as well. To me, these limited time things represent memories, of the event, of the year, of the character's life, of the friends you did things with back then. To have those items be buyable (either with gil or cash) cheapens that. I'll notice someone wearing some event gear from years ago and try to reminisce about it with them only for them to not know where their item even came from since they just bought it. That's ... sad. To me at least. We're all entitled to our own opinions and that's just mine.

Actually....I never got a combat class to 30 when I played 1.0. I got my goobbue with a lv30 BTN.

I hated running through La Noscea at the time to find the Wandering Minstral NPC.
