The good thing about the War horse and ADS mount is that once SE (finally) removes GC restrictions, people can attain those once again because folks will likely PVP together much more easily. It opens up the whole PVP world and makes it much more fun.

I can see why people give up in the Feast. I was sitting at Silver, over halfway to Gold, when I'm not joking, my team and I lost something like 20 matches in a row. Now I'm back down to bronze and working on my promotion qualifiers again.

Can I just say, for the record, how much I hate promotional qualifiers?

For those who don't know how it works, once you have enough points to get into the next tier, you go through five promotional qualifiers. You must win 3/5 or else you have to start over. It wouldn't seem that difficult at first, but it's absolutely maddening, and once people slog through it and get to gold, they don't want to risk anything in the PVP arena to potentially get knocked to the previous tier (where they have to go through qualifiers AGAIN once they reach the tier).

That is not fun. Not in the slightest. It's throw-controller-at-screen frustrating.

Dangling a much-wanted mount in our faces when this kind of nonsense holds players back is just like asking us to climb a mountain but pulling us back down for every step we take.
