Suggestion: 99 totems = 1 lanner whistle

If they just gave the mount to everyone it wouldn't be as cool as it is now,

This isn't wow where the loser still gets a ribbon.

ffxi was king and set a standard for how rng loot payouts work, 0/200? try 1/620 for stuff in xi. Just because the game is newer doesn't mean it needs to be easier.

With your plan, I would do 10 bismarks a day, for 10 days, and have the mount... see how that works? then everyone will have it.

For Ravana and Bismarck, the only thing that having a bird at this point means is that you were able to beat RNG. That is not an accomplishment - horrible drop rates do not make a game "hard".

If you are looking to feel special for awhile, I'd recommend farming the other two. Not many group are clearing those successfully at this time and you can feel superior for awhile until the main player base catches up.

This game is INSANELY casual. I played XI for years, and I loved it, but it's ridiculous to try and compare XIV to XI. New games don't have to be easy, but the developers of this specific game have chosen to go that route. If you aren't able to obtain a bird after 100 runs, it just means that RNG hates you, and that gets frustrating for a lot of people.

Can't agree with this more. Further more, you only get a token/totem for a successful run. I personally don't know how many times with just rav ex and bis ex that I've had parties that just didn't have the dps or the tanks (for bis ex) just couldn't do the tank swap. So that took even more time with not even the consolation prize of a token.
