Pretty much every response here amounts to “but I got my tiger the long way so you should too.”

And I got Xanthos doing well over 100 synced Garuda runs, now someone can get it in 1 run solo. That’s how the game is. There’s nothing wrong with making things easier to let new players catch up. Especially when it’s not even difficulty based gating, it’s just about being online enough to be around when they spawn.
