Cash shop ADS mount

[LeeraSorlan]

i agree but disagree.its true its basically impossible at this point to get the original ADS mount, so they SHOULD do something, at least reduce the requrements.
the naysayers who say "but but, that guy worked hard and got it first!" dont matter, its an MMO, stuff gets easier, stuff gets harder. at this point its not a matter of skill or a matter of patience, the ques for frontline and the winrate are absolutely making it nearly impossible to get this mount.
i disagree that there should be other means to get this mount, because it would once again ldrag out the que times for an already horrid que time. but SE should add more encentives to this content or reduce the amount of wins or change the forumla for getting the mount or something.


at this rate you might as well be trying to run to the store while you are on a treadmill, you wont get anywhere

This.

It's been long enough. Now that there is a fancy new ADS they can reduce the requirements of the other one, I don't see the harm.

As for Cash Shop... I would love that... but I know it would make people mad. I just don't have time to sit in PVP q's all day and i'm not switching GCs for a mount. So I know i'll never get it. Makes me sad, but oh well.

No one does Frontlines anymore now that we have Shatter. Just reduce the requirements of the original ADS mount, it's been out for a long time now.

No. This makes no sense, it's an achievement for goodness' sake, it means you worked for it. What's different about PVP stuff is that, because the PVP community is so small, you see someone on the mount and think "OH! Another PVPer!" They released a different, easier to obtain ADS from shatter, work for it.

I am an Adder on Primal, the worst GC here. When I see someone with ADS, I check them for their Grand Company, if it's Mael (historically strongest here, with frequent Pre-made PTs in frontlines), I don't think that's all that amazing. But if it's Flames or (especially) Adders, I think that person tried really, really hard to win, to overcome the lack of skill in their GC. Sure, Mael players on primal had longer queue's, but they could much more easily be carried by pre-made groups in their GC.

PVP achievements mean something, it means you repeatedly show up and play with other PVPers on your data center, who grow to recognize and appreciate your contribution to a match. Eventually you are rewarded for overcoming other players repeatedly, and you grow and become more experienced. Showing up with the ADS/feast/future feast gear tells the other players on your team that you're powerful, and to your enemies, someone to be feared. It means something, don't take that away.

lol Worked hard? I assume they just switch GC until they got it and spammed duty almost everyone I know that does have it, did this.

Which also points a spotlight at the issue with PVP being GC locked and not just for Q's alone.

Edit: Also like it or not, it will likely be reskinned and cash shopped eventually. People may not be loud enough on the forums for it, but if SE knows they can make money on it, they'll do it.
