Furthermore, exclusivity is a terrible way of incentivizing people into PvP. Like it or not, FFXIV needs to incentivize more people as PvP is basically on life support at the moment. You aren't going to do that by rewarding only the top 100 players on the whole datacenter. Call it selfish all you fancy, but they just won't do it. Look no further than Alexander. Gordias practically destroyed the raid community and Midas only made things worse. The creator, meanwhile, incentivized people to try because it was far more lenient, and thus, inviting. Right now, PvP has a high barrier for entry and nothing to encourage people who aren't naturally inclined to PvP.
If it something that could actually give you an advantage over someone in the game you could have a point. It is only a mount however. It is glamour. Something fancy to stare at. It doesn't make harder content all the sudden easy. Maybe of saying you want the same exact mount that PvP'ers earned, maybe you should ask for a similar mount like how there is the 1.0 Goobue and the Sylph quest Goobue. Clearly distinguishable between the two.

Also, there isn't much you can do regards PvP. If you don't go in the mindset that you are fighting another player and not an NPC, then be prepared to be disappointed. Its easy enough to make PvE content easier. PvP you are left to your own abilities. SE can adjust rules but you are still left up to whoever you fight against. If you put the effort to be the top 100, you deserve that mount. If you can't get it due you not putting the effort or lack the skill the get to the top, then well, sorry.

Don't know why I say this anyways. SE always caves and gives the entitled snowflakes what they want anyways. If I see someone wearing the fancy PvP coat or riding that mount, all I will think to myself is that he did a good job and deserves to be wearing it around. I don't PvP so I feel no sense of entitlement to get my own. Like I said, doesn't matter, complain enough and they will give you one. Sad truth.
