RIP Minion Collectors :(

[Falen_Nadleeh]

There are some hunters, who are here since the beginning, who have the 2 legacy mounts, the preorder and collector editions mount&minions & bahamut & dalamud, the shantotto minion from the FFXI event, the golem from dragon quest.
I'm one of those.
It is true that as today, neither collection, minions, mounts, both, cannot be 100% completed by the great majority of players because there are some that are no longer possible to get.
I mean yeah, unless you are a legacy players and you never stopped playing the game since the start and did all the seasonals events, and bought all soundtracks & plushies and shit, you cannot do this collection.
But I'm one of those, and we are a few and some.
As today I have 208/210 minions and 56/69 mounts and all those I am missing I can get, anytime.
Whatever our reasons for farming minions & mounts are, may it be because we think it's cute, because of OCD, or just because we like it, this is huge for us.
Make an achievement saying "play 1000 feast matchs for this minion", I will do it. But the way they did this is really different and hardcore on another level because it's time limited and we have to be good, we have to compete against each other (hunters), and against pro pvp players.
Someone told me that if I got so many already it's because I put a lot of effort in it and I can go the extra mile for the Feast season 3 rewards, and it's not really wrong.
I will do it, at least I will try to do it. From 3.45 to 3.55 I will most likely play PVP a HUGE LOT, and maybe I will get some rewards, but getting the 4 rewards (top 10 solo and top 10 group) will be really really difficult.
I will be really bummed if this fails because it will mean that my collection can no longer be achieveable to 100%, BUT, at least I would have tried and if can't do it this will maybe relieve me of some stress, but also take off a huge part of why I like this game.
Some people aim to be world first or server first on raid content, me and some others aim to be server first m&m collectionist.
