The "git gud" and "put the effort in" comments can't be applied to a limited reward. A person could get good and put in a large amount of hours and still not earn the reward if 100+ other people decided to do the same thing. There can only be 100 (or less because alts) winners across all worlds on a datacenter, so on average 12 people per world if we say that a datacenter has 8 worlds. Also unfortunate that it can only be achieved in a certain time period.

From what I've seen, the seasonal rewards have not lead to a healthy pvp community on eu/na worlds so locking mounts to it is questionable. We're only seeing bursts of activity early season and then people stop playing. I think the amount of people who stick with pvp long term wouldn't be much different if seasonal rewards were only trophies/ titles, while letting mounts be available to more than 100 people and not restricted to certain seasons.
