New Tank Mounts Reskined

Honestly, I'm more annoyed that all of the other ground mounts get to fly while the tanks had to go through additional duty completions to have their mounts fly.

Which was a good thing because the point of the tank mounts was to get more tanks queing up for roulettes.

No other jobs even get their own mounts...

Right, because running 200 Garuda EXs totally enticed people to actually play the classes in roulettes. Just like running 300 of the easier EX unsynced for 5.0 will be super enticing for players to play tanks and stick with it.

(Neither of you are wrong, but my point was it was easily bypassed. People that only want the mounts are going to find the easiest, fastest thing to farm that's not locked to a once-a-day stipulation.)

The most low effort way to get the mounts is actually just tanking content you were going to do anyway. It costs you no time at all, which is better than waiting until the next expansion to unsync farm.

As a lazy efficient person I did exactly this for almost the entire expansion and so far I have accumulated over 600 runs towards those mounts. Working as intended I think. My favorite is tanking the current normal 8 man raids as they contribute to both achievements while I also collect some alt gear and tomes.

that doesn't count for the flying mounts and it won't count if there's a new set.

i do 24 man raids, normal raids and Expert on tank all the time right now because of these flying mounts (i'm a healer main otherwise). i already have the PLD one and pretty close to finishing the DRK one.

i finished all 3 ground mounts doing Wondrous Tails, not some lame EX tank point farm.

if people want to be doing Lakshmi EX 900x to catch up to the 700+ runs that i already have that's fine with me, i'll be over here leveling jobs to 80 and doing 71+ content for the newer set of tank mounts (as long as there's a 3rd set).

and purely mechanical mounts sound great, i'm down for that.

Which is something they should have prevented.


Anyway, the only reason I'm still doing roulettes is for the tank mounts on WAR & DRK, the PLD I got long ago since that's always been my main job. I don't spend hours & hours farming like a a mad man for them, I just do the daily roulettes.
