If your only motivation to sub is rolling the dice on a mount drop... you aren't longed to stay subbed.
That being said, the last MMO had me running the equivalent of DREX prolly close to 1000 times before I got the weapon drop. Why did I do it? Because it was BiS and it stayed BiS for the good part of a year and a half. Once I got it, why did I keep running that dungeon for another 1000 times? because I could sell that same drop now that I have one for the equivalent of 100 mil gil.

The thing with Delayed rewards is that it only works with delayed obsolescence with no nerf tampering by the devs.
