It is NOT WORK! it is just pointless waste of time for no reason, and too much to even do it for many. Maybe for the 1980s - 2000, but this is almost 2018!!! why keep doing the game thing? no reason to depend on luck for content anymore. If you want to call it player laziness, then I can call it dev laziness for not coming up with something better.
...and if you choose to do other stuff about getting those mounts thats your choice... if you enjoy leveling other classes, capping tomes, doing beasttribe-dailies or whatever other content you want to do more - cool, pick that over the mount grind.
You have to realise though that you dont have to do any of that content. Not even the stuff that has a time limit. If you're only playing so, so casual what does it matter wether or not you reach the tome-cap every week? Why does it matter if you skip beasttribe-dailies for a few days? You'll finish a week later, but who cares? At this point I'm wondering if you'd be more willing to do this if you could get a max-amount of three tokens every day...
I dont know how much time you've got on your hands to play every day/week but its up to you to choose how to spend that time - and if your choice isnt mount-farming, then you dont get the mount. Simple as that. If its "pointless waste of time for no reason" for you then the mount clearly isnt worth that effort for you and thats okay. Enough people seem to think otherwise.
(And I'd hate to repeat myself but its not "pointless": Keeping old players busy while keeping groups full for fresh ones - there, two good reasons)

You might also have noticed that we dont depend on luck for those primal-mounst anymore. Remember your whol argument about 99 tokens being to much? Yeah, thats where we dont depend on luck anymore.

Your only argument is some weird interpretaion of the devs intentions - I for one understand those statments in the following way: You dont need to play 8 hours a day, each day every day but you can take breaks or play less and still be able to catch up, thanks to tome-gear and such. You can play less and effectivly play the game - I really dont understand why you believe that that statment means "You can play as little as you want and still get every special item you desire instantly"

Not the whole game is or has to be casual friendly.
