Regarding: Centurio Tiger mount

[Xdark93]

in regards to this matter if there is to be a solution then i would have SE put the original tiger as a hunt reward obtained through centurio seals which can be used to buy the veteran clan mark log to obtain the whistle. then have a re-colored tiger for the achievement say like a gold or white tiger? then that would make people happy to have at least one of the tiger mounts in favor of the other. this would greatly alleviate the tension and struggle of obtaining this mount.

Do you want those mounts because you genuily like them or because they are "special"? Why is it hurting you that they're easier to get?

i like special stuff. except it's really ugly like the chocbo for 3000 commendations xD

the harder the work, the more i like the reward. i work hard and get a special reward and i can feel special too because of this. now someone else get the same reward for much less work. now that reward is not special anymore, anyone can get it without much effort, wich means even me, who worked much harder and was special because of that reward, is not special anymore. all my hard work is wasted.

i agree with the problem in the lochs with the campers and stuff, but i don't agree in general that they nerf all those rewards. i have to dump my gear every few months in the trash can. at least mounts and minions should stay.

Ok, I have no real dog in this topic, but this statement kinda irks me a bit. It is still special, your hard work wasn't 'wasted' because you still put the work in and got the thing. Just because someone else can get it for less does not change the fact you put the work in. In fact, that should make it MORE special! Because you put the work in when it WAS hard to get. You put the work in when it was a pain to farm. The only thing making it less special is yourself, the only one devaluing the effort you put in is yourself. The people who get the thing from the nerfed instance will never know the same joy you had when you finally earned it. That is why it is still special, not because it was hard to get. Exclusivity doesn't make things special, it just makes them exclusive.

I have the answer:
SE1 - What do we do? Hunt is as crap as always! We need to get player back on it to not feel like we did it for nothing!
SE2 - What do players want the most lately?
SE1 - Hum... the tiger mount?
SE2 - Then put it in the hunt. In a way it would requier decades.

This dialogue is worth for mentor roulette too

The requirements are admittedly insane, but not to the players who are and have been into hunting. They are seriously committed and should get some kind of crazy reward like the tiger mount, because there are WAY too many deadbeats and leechers out there who join a hunt LS and apparently prioritize other shit more and ignore hunt calls 99% of the time.

As a person who would love to have this mount, but will likely never get to have it...

I'm OK with this.

It's a shame that the "everything should be available to everyone" cancer has leaked in to other games..and we all know where it's coming from...

Right, because people that didn't want to lock themselves out from a reward that cost reasonable efforts that might prove beneficial to rejuvenate dead content or improve existing condition just because "exclusive rarity" are cancerous. Sure, why not eh? /s

Its just so annoying since first people wished for the hellhound mount and they put that beyond PVP with a very small limit..and next to that people again wished for a tiger mount and instead of making it a tanking achievement (like get all the three tanks achievements and you will get this one..just like Kirin in a way) or let us buy it with tokens, they put it beyond another big wall which will not take months if you started it but years of constantly getting all the hunts. At the same time most of the old hunts can be done solo or with a very small group.

I rarely see people actually doing hunts these days. I go by so many A ranks just sitting there, I call them out and no one shows. Heck, even the hunt LS I was in disbanded.

Players are probably skipping A ranks in favor of raid and/or leveling. I doubt S rank will have the same issue, which is the part most people are pointing out in this thread. Once SE add upgrade items to hunt vendors, you will see the return of the horde. Of course, that's assuming that they follow the previous pattern.

I actually thought of the hellhound mount when I was typing my previous comment. I understand the frustration. I was never in the camp of exclusive rarity, and I do want the hellhound mount but I know I won't be getting it due to the lack of skill and interest in a competitive pvp mode. However, in the case of the hellhound mount, I find it easier to accept how it was since I understand rank pvp do need a shiny incentive, and the mount is SE's answer to it. Of course this is subjective to one personal view on exclusive rarity.

The tiger mount though... I don't know, personally I think it's better to utilize it as carrot elsewhere. Maybe be a overall tank mount collection like we both suggested, be a healer mount that some players has been asking (lore wise a tiger for healer mount does raise the eyebrown a little), or maybe put it as the new 24 man raid roulette achievement that SE spoke of creating in the future? I just don't think hunt need further incentive if it follows the previous pattern of putting upgrade materials for purchase with hunt logs. Along with the poor combination of high requirements behind an artificial time gate, you can't really blame some players for questioning how it even ended up here in the first place.
