As long as I have a cutscene leading to me getting a chocobo, I'm happy. I don't need a quest a la FFXI to give to a npc one item every hour for 5hours or spend weeks to get a subpar mount.

Having to spend 3k seals for it is good enough if there is a cut scene associated with the whole process. I mean, it's going to take some time for new comers to gather those seals and for us... Well, wasn't it the whole purpose of playing the game since release given its bad shape: be ahead of new comers? That's what you get (and that's no surprise): every new things that will be released almost instantly.

Do you remember how people were saying that the R45 dungeon was too easy (who beat the full dungeon at the first try, even with an already established tactic?) after spending all their time spamming them? What do you think the same people would have said if they would have only done it once per day or even less?

What I see from reading the forums is that a lot of people can't control themselves and need the game to put barriers for them instead of just pacing themselves.
