RIP Minion Collectors :(

Greetings,

Thank you for your feedback in regard to the Feast Season Three ranking rewards.

We have received a lot of feedback globally in regard to the minion given out as a reward for successfully ranking in the top 10 of Season Three, and after discussing the details of the rewards with the dev. team we have come to a conclusion to make the following changes.

• Add another method to obtain this minion
  By completing a new achievement objective which is planned to be introduced in Patch 3.5, players will be able to obtain the same minion.
  
  
• Add another reward
  The minion will remain as a reward for players who successfully rank in the top 10; however, in addition to this, we will be introducing a new earring item with a unique design.

*The rewards page on the Lodestone has be updated to reflect this change.

We understand that there are players who have participated in Season Three of the Feast for these rewards, therefore, we did not want to take away and change the rewards. Instead we have made it so these players are able to obtain this minion earlier while giving other players a chance at obtaining the same minion by completing a new achievement objective that will be introduced after the conclusion of Season Three.

However, we did not want to discourage players already participating in the Feast for losing out on a reward, so we have decided to include a new earring along with the current reward.

Based on the feedback we received, we’ll make sure to be more careful when deciding which items to use for rewards, especially for items which would be difficult to obtain moving forward.

We thank you for your understanding, and appreciate all your feedback.

So now it's time for all y'all to complain about the earrings being exclusive. Because that's what it's about, right? Not the fact that it was something you wanted that happened to be exclusive? :P

Actually, I cared more about the minions and mounts being exclusive. So now that at least the minion(s) are no longer exclusive, I am MUCH more motivated to participate in the Feast, even if I don't make anywhere near top 100. And If the mounts get this same treatment, I'm going to be all in.

As for the new earring, I didn't have the "well they just lost a PvP player permanently" reaction I had when I saw the mounts and minions were exclusive. For me, exclusive armor and accessories and furnishings/ decorations are the way to go to reward the winners of the Feast.

Any changes regarding the mount?

Hey, while we're getting stuff changed, I do collect mounts!

Called it, now you can all go back to whining about something else.

Snarky comment aside, I am perfectly fine with this so long as the achievement is difficult, otherwise its place as a tournament prize is completely undermined.

Can I request that the devs wait until 4.0 to give out the mount as a reward? It will happen, but it is easy enough to get that those who work for it will get it, and staggering the rewards allows for more people to be incentivized by pvp over a longer period of time.
