99 token exchange for dog mount?

[SigmaOZ]

They should stop "considering" and just go with it and make Primal mounts tradable for x99 tokens in the next big patch after introducing the Extreme battle in question!...

Not everyone is happy farming for a mount endlessly, including myself, there are more things I want to do in the game instead of consuming all that time getting a single mount!...

I hate the RNG drop system, I don't know how it works but it makes those getting their drops on the first clear look like really unfair cheaters!...

I don't really like the dog/wolf/whatever the new Primal mounts are, except for the pinkish one from Lakshmi, so I'll just wait until SE increases the drop rate and makes them available for trade like my favorite mounts -the falcons- did!...

Hell the lack of turn in is why I stopped farming this last patch cycle to begin with. With how little I've actually seen the dogs drop it just didn't seem worth it to kill my hands when I already got my drops out of the equation. If they actually made the tokens worth turning in for the mounts I'd jump right back into Susano this very instant.

Sounds exactly like FFXI drop rates. I'm glad I don't waste my time "farming" these. Sounds frustrating af.

I'm also salty they don't appear to be adding the whistle trade in. I got my hundred runs of Susano and Lakshmi, the dog never dropped more than three or four times for either in those hundred runs, I refuse to run it any more because just those 100 runs each burned me out on those fights. Won't be doing them again unless they are in a WT. Just give us the whistles already, the fights are 7 months old.

I haven't had any motivation to farm either. I remember getting so frustrated with not getting the bird for Sophia before they added the turn-in, losing after rolling a 97 once, that I just kept running it and running it until I was on 234 runs when the rng gods finally chose me and once I had the darn bird I just felt nothing.

I'm not going to do that again. I'd rather play a different game if there isn't a clear finish line to the goal and no confirmation on when it will be established.

I am at 140 clears for Susano and saw my first two whistles last night. It has been a painful grind.

[Mavrias]

If I recall correctly Ravana and Bismark didn't get mount trade ins til 3.25 or 3.3. If you wanna stop running the fight after you get 99 tokens thats fine but its 100% fair to keep it a drop only for the first few patches. Letting them be purchasable at all is more than most mmos would give you. Not to mention our drop rate is incredibly lenient compared to other games.

I'm reckoning since they added the new stack amount, they're going to up the cost to 999 totems for the SB primals. Meaning if RNG hates you, you're looking at just under one thousand clears before you an get your mount...

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Am I the only one who thinks it’s ridiculous these mounts aren’t available for 99 totems when their primals are current content? Some can argue “we are lucky they can be bought with totems at all, we couldn’t buy the primal ponies EVER!!!” but we all know it’s a thing and will continue to be a thing.

Those killing these primals 99 times and not winning a whistle in that time probably “deserves” the mount more than Joe Schmoe that won it on their first kill.

They delay it this way to keep people going back. Plenty won't wait almost a year on a stack of 99, they'll keep farming, which helps newer/inexperienced/bad players get through. This game desperately tries to keep veterans going back to help/carry.

I'm just going to wait and hope maybe next patch we can use totems.I am taking a break from farming @_@
