    Is there anyway to parse how many people have the mount from the lodestone? I recall seeing rare mount rankings in the past from stuff like that.

    It gives incentive to try for rewards.

    Achievements do not have to be fun. They just give you another reason to continue playing the game or something to do while more content is released.
    They are optional too.

    Actually no it doesn't. Here's why. Putting time in this achievement would prevent me from putting time into other much more generously rewarding activities for multiple years. We all know time is limited. Since I can't go back in time to benefit from the retroactive counter, I and many others are not incentivized at all by something so inaccessible. It might as well not exist because that's how likely I am to get it even if I tried.

    If you were offered a million dollars for solving one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems of mathematics, would you be incentivized enough to try? It's a real offer by the way, and I bet you haven't thought it to be worth your time to even try because it's too difficult. That's my point.

    Tbh I don't care if they leave the mount like it is. My personal time hasn't been wasted, it's the development time that's been wasted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    my only problem is that there are mounts wich are super difficult to get from every kind of content. some of these get's nerfed like ex primal mounts through increased drop rate and token exchange, raid mounts and ex primal mounts through unsynched option...

    i have grinded for months to get my Fenrir and now you can get around 100k MGP every week for almost no work at all.

    why is my hard work to get my Fenrir, the hard work to get all ex primal mounts made worthless, while PvP, hunt and mentor roulette mount rewards are not? the opposite: it gets harder and harder to get the mounts, the Hellhound is not even available anymore, the Garo mounts will also not be available anymore after the event ends. 2000 S rank hunts, 2000 mentor roulettes... that's insane.

    they should put such awesome rewards into every kind of content and keep them difficult to get. or make it after a while for EVERY content easier to get the mounts.

    As much as I love tigers and want the mount, I don't care that much for hunts to break my neck doing it.

    To me, it's just another "premium" mount I can live without.

    There is no restriction for the mentor roulette though. You can just keep spamming it even when there is no Bonus. You don't have to wait for a timer.

    It's a game...

    There's extremely difficult to get and then there's nigh impossible unless you wait some 5-10+ years.

    What baffles me is that the tiger mount was added because people were requesting it to be added. Yet it's locked behind an obnoxiously tedious achievement that is nigh impossible to complete simply due to the sheer amount of time and luck that it requires.

    I have been called a person that can achieve anything I want because when I want something I go for it, balls out. I looked at this and just have no interest in something that is nearly unachievable. 5+ years isn't simply a long term planned out goal.... it's outright insanity.

    I understand making some things hard to get/exclusive. This.... this is something else entirely.
