    There is lots of casual content - not all content has to be casual though. Infact those mounts are supposed to be special - which makes them pretty much not-casual. And thats fine. You dont need them to play or enjoy the game - if you're only playing casual you're getting mounts from the mainquest, so you can easly travel everywhere. Thats all you actually need - the rest is a bonus.
    Not everything has to be instantly available for everyone. You want something special? Put some effort into it.

    You can even farm those mounts in your own time, this game is by no means a time sink in that regard.
    Let me also do a little math for you:
    The average EX-primal takes 10 minutes to clear (that doesnt account for wipes ofc, but at least our two current EX-primals are pretty easy fights that should be wipe-free... or you should be looking for a new group). That means: 6 kills an hour. So 16,5 hours for 99 kills - we can round that up to 20, if you like to account for wipes and the odd slower run. Still would only require 2.5 days of that 8-hour-play-schedulde of yours. And thats without taking into account that you could get the mount by rolling high enough on it. Seems still pretty casual friendly to me...

    Those are more mid to long-term goals. Something you can work towards, thanks to the tokens now.
    We really, really dont need everything in this game to be just handed out. You can be casual and enjoy this game, thats fine - but you need to be okay with not having everything instantly then.
    (Seriously, you could just do like 3 runs a day - in a month you'll have your mount. Playing the game casually. All good.)
    Give it up already. People will keep saying that it is not casual friendly if they don't get everything as soon as they log in for the first time. Its to much effort to farm 99 tokens (the birds would drop more than once during that time anyway) hell its even to much effort to kill the ex primal because they have to learn the fight.

    Seriously people why are you not willing to farm for something that you want so badly?

    That is not the issue, has nothing to do with laziness. For older games, they did not have much tech to work with, so they needed to find creative ways to prolong the life and create a difficulty level, like what Sequelitis - Castlevania 1 vs. Castlevania 2, what he spoke on 1. (I am not linking it because of all the cursing)They had to use the game itself to set the tone of things where now you have more options though art and music (like hor mor dhona was in 1.0, the music, the look of the place, really made you feel on edge with the strong monsters (I was never lv 50 in 1.0)

    Now that you have better tech for developing games, you think development of them would find more creative ways to extend the life of a game. Simply beating RNG is not an achievement, nor is it an investment of work. I just want to be able do something but I can't because it takes too long. For example I have tried to get the nightmare mount but it is too rare of a drop to make a static for it to kill in a reasonable time, even doing gargua as a 5 man, around 1 min 30 sec kills , 3 mins max/ total for queuing, exiting and such.. I think it was, for 3 hours and not seeing one? Sorry that is a flaw, an oversight, too low drop rate then intended when development team makes statements like this:
    “We’re not worried about the concurrent users. We look more to the daily active users and the monthly active users.”
    on top of things.

    It is not about being handed anything, it is about needing to invest more time then what people are able to, and it needs to be considered that messing around with inhuman RNG on these mounts is not the only content to do. You still have to deal with RNG with the weekly limit stuff, and I am sure you need complete the new 24 man thing in a week or miss out. With all the Do this or miss out weeklies and daily stuff you need to do, there isn't enough time to be doing 99 runs for a mount.

    Where is that stated? they said "We’re not worried about the concurrent users. We look more to the daily active users and the monthly active users.” SO such a system is an oversight/ and or bugged, "lower then intended drop rates"

    I don't understand why you even bother with the game the way you are always complaining about having to play it to complete tasks or obtain items. Every thread is another "It's not fair" argument because you are forced to make choices as to what activities you do each time you log on. Every other player makes those same choices so what makes you so special? Maybe if you spent less time with useless complaining on the forums you might find you have more time to play the game.

    Because that's the new generation: not doing a thing and expect to get everything. Surely a game is fun when everything is given to you without doing anything. Where's the game in this anyway, who needs a game, all they need is flashy pixels because it looks cool and make them hard.
