Just because you are decently skilled at the game doesn't mean you are also a top 100 player and deserve it, that is the nature of competition. Not everyone gets a medal.
They did it to try and get people into PvP by putting a reward requested buy the casual segment of the player base into a portion of the game many of them didn't play. It does not appear to have worked.

This is basically the mentality of the majority of people complaining in this thread and it is sad.
I haven't seen anyone here asking for it for free. Most people are making suggestions that lock these mounts behind grinds that take a year or better. Honestly, it sounds like they're suggesting something more like how Veteran Rewards currently work. Now you have to buy those by earning achievements and yet the people who were subscribed long enough under the old system don't have to and can use their points to buy anything else they add.

Personally I have no dog in this race. I exited PvP with the 4.0 changes to the kit and had only dabbled in it previously. Just pointing out a couple of flaws in your statement
