Extreme Trial Mount Drop Suggestions

None of those have left me even close to as dead inside as 99 runs of Zodiark.

This. I've had exhaustion problems with some of the old trials - Emerald and Diamond come to mind but neither of em came as close to how annoyed I am with Zodiark in particular.

Make no changes to the drop rate but make it a personal loot item. No more rolling against 7 (potentially random) other players.

I would actually prefer tying the mount to an achievement ex. killing the boss X number of times, or have a faux hollows kind of thing where you have an NPC that tracks if you've done special achievements for each boss, ex. not get a single vuln stack, kill it in less than X seconds, etc. and get some special currency for those special achievements that you can trade for more tokens or something.

Alternatively, make it so that if the mount drops, everyone in the party gets it.

I agree completely as someone who loves to collect mounts in game it really does that to get to the point where you are just not enjoying the grind when it takes this long and by no means do I want the mounts to feel like free hand outs but I feel like at the very least reducing the amount needed to buy a mount to 50 and at least doubling the drop rate(which feels like 1% at best atm) should be a obvious direction for the game to move in. I am likely to do more than that cause I will join and help friends get the mount but after you have the mount and are just helping it doesn't feel as depressingly grindy after you got yours. It doesn't help that the pf isn't getting any better at doing mount run either so I generally try to avoid it entirely now and just do full fc runs even then it took over 50 runs to get my WoL mount and that is with 8 people some who had it and some who didn't. Extremes have always been some of my favorited content in the game but the grind lately to just farm up totems because it feels like the chance of seeing a mount from a on patch extreme is next to 0 is starting to take all the fun out of it.

That just means the drop rate will become microscopic to balance things out.
