I want to be able to throw away mount whistles....

[Rakanishu_Kentatsu]

Look. I knew a lot of people would disagree with me, and that's fine. But... I have what... 15 mounts and have played this game for 8-9 years now? Most mounts have been redeemed cause I had no choice. Maybe 1-2 I really "wanted".

Ultimately though they don't have to code it into the game as it is just disabled. They just have to remove the disable and add an "are you sure" and it fixes the problem.

When the whistle appears in the loot list, select pass. Whistle never enters your inventory, no need to destroy it. Problem already solved.

but when your helping your FC is mount farming and and then they all bail on you.... you auto get it.....

And creates a bunch of other possible problems. Which is , as I said, a consideration when implementing this kind of thing.

Why would they bail on the mount drop if they're mount farming?

Just learn the mount once and you won't be able to loot it a second time even if you want to.

This happened so long ago, I honestly couldn't tell you. It happened. I have a mount whistle (or 2)? and I won't redeem them.

I'm really struggling to put into context how rare this request is. At least with being able to toggle xp gain, there's no potential to delete something that can't be restored.

I'd wager malicious or just plain accidental deletions would outnumber intentional deletions. This means we'd need either a calamity salvager for mounts (which would need to be implemented) or even more tickets sent in to the GM team for restorations.

Waiving all of the above with a disclaimer text box wouldn't do anything, because we all know people don't read their tooltips anyway. Not to mention some people do profoundly dumb things while under the influence of various Adult Beverages.

In fact, this is such an edge case you're probably best served putting in a ticket and begging a GM to delete the items-- but I'd wager there a GM is going to be utterly baffled why you'd want to, and probably doesn't even have a policy in place to assist with deletion.

The best course of action right now, though, is to simply use the items and ignore them in your mount log. I don't understand why their mere existence in the log could even approach any degree of problematic.

I still don't see the problem.
Just use the whistle and it disappears from your inventory.
Set the mounts you want to have as favorite and then don't look on mount page 1,2,....

[Rakanishu_Kentatsu]

In case you don't believe me. Here are 3 whistles. 2 are the same... so even if I redeemed one I can't drop the other. It is literally stuck in my inventory even if I went that route.

As in many MANY games, your refusal to use the options given to you to solve your problems doesn't mean the developers should make special accommodations. Your proposed "feature" would cause problems where there were none before which is why I don't think it'd ever be implemented

Noted:

You also have a tyrannosaur which you CAN sell/drop, a car you have to buy on purpose, a cloud you have to buy with real money, a claw you have to purposefully go get, and the fat black chocobo which IIRC required an outside purchase as well both times it was offered.
This isn't counting the mount farm ones which you have to roll for just because MAYBE you might have been forced to have the drop at the time (it's highly unlikely but possible).

So it's not like you don't like collecting mounts at all.

In case you don't believe me. Here are 3 whistles. 2 are the same... so even if I redeemed one I can't drop the other. It is literally stuck in my inventory even if I went that route.

Considering they all use the same icon and you keep coming up with weak reasons for things, no I don't believe you.

you know what... I am going to stream it. give me a second. I will literally give you a youtube link.
