Dev blog: New Feast rewards

[Bourne_Endeavor]

You'd see pretty much everything become obtainable from the mogstation or gold saucer as half the threads asking SE for something are like this. The majority don't want to work hard for anything.

Good argument to make savage mounts exclusive, or at the very least force a ilvl sync

And I should also ask why should the 1.0 gobbue and 1.0 chocobo be exclusive? It isn't fair?!

Should the unique trophy reward for the number 1 player at the end of the season be given away to everyone at a later date? It's an exclusive item, so it should be in violation of your rule. Or perhaps rewards take on a different connotation within the context of an actual competition? As a compromise, I wouldn't mind if they gave out reskinned versions of the top 100 rewards at a later date in exchange for a decent sum of wolf collars.

Both of these are false equivalents. 1.0 Gobbue and Chocobo required you to play an entirely different game; denoting a unique circumstance. As the trophy, it's essentially a title more comparable with Ultimate. Mounts, on the other hand, have been ubiquitous as a collectors item. No other forms of content render them exclusive. They even stopped exclusive minions from SE store purchases after numerous complaints. If I recall correctly, the reason they gave for no Ultimate mounts or minion was it not being fair to more casual players. Why isn't that extended to PvP then? I have no doubt plenty of active PvPers see the mount as a trophy of sorts. I'm arguing more against the lack of consistency because how are Savage mounts any different? Why can't raiders get a Bahamut mount for completing Ultimate? It'd serve the exact same function.

So in that sense, Aviars. Yes, the mounts from Savage should be gated behind ilvl if they're going to continue this system for Feast. Alas, they won't because like I said, this has absolutely nothing to do with rewarding PvPer and simply SE looking for ways to get people into PvP. It's no coincidence this is now the second requested mount from PvE (Hellhound being the first) that got locked behind a Feast tournament.

The exclusivity of the item proves season placement. It's just that in a videogame, you get to be a lot more creative with how you design a trophy.

Why not create a Top 100 Trophy or a equivalent title ala Ultimate? Once again, it's a lack of consistency and shows they just want to bribe more people into Feast.
