Make the Axolotl mount a drop from Aetherfont instead of Savage NOW

[StarAfar]

Savage is for neckbeard no-lifers who play this game 24/7.

Tell that to the folks from my FC that had never touched a Savage raid in their lives before I helped them learn the Asphodelos fights, two hours a night, two nights a week. They're the ones who asked me to disable Echo, because they wanted to clear it legit. They all have their Phoinix mounts, now. Or I can tell them that they're all neckbeard no-lifers, if you want to die on this hill.

You're insulting all your customers by locking one of the most popular mounts this patch behind an activity no one wants to do.

To speak on behalf of the entire player base is the absolutely exospheric height of arrogance. Said FC members asked me to put together a team, because they wanted to give it a try.

Next time, cute mounts need to be available in content that everyone does or on MogStation.

See the previous. You're a case-study in toxic arrogance. I strongly urge you to engage in some self-assessment and introspection before posting again.

Actually yes, that would be far better, because $18 is nothing to anyone who has a full time job.

This absolutely reeks of privilege, spoken by someone that's never worked for their own money. This is just... WOW. You do realize that some people work full time jobs for less than $8/hour in the US? And $18 is food on the table? Yes, I realize that subscribing to the game is $15/month, but that may be budgeted into their "I need to do something other than work and worry" category. Instead of being locked behind Raiding (Savage), it's now locked behind Poverty (Savage). Please, for everyone that you ever encounter in the future, learn to be a better person.

PS: Yes, I made a forum account just to post this reply. If you insult my friends even by the most general association, I will absolutely speak up on their behalf, every single time.

As someone who literally lives Poverty (Savage), it's refreshing to see someone mention this. It made me so mad that they mentioned they rather pay for a mount instead of getting it for... A couple hours of coordinated work.
FFXIV has a such a small "Pay for" content that is one of the reasons I stick around and do my do diligence to get stuff for FREE! It's FREE!! Like 2 hours once a week to try and get a cute mount is so much more enticing to me than seeing it posted on the Online Store for $18 (Or $30+ for account wide).
The axolotl has a lot of meaning in Elpis (that a lot of people missed apparently) that seeing it as a reward for Paendamonium has got me so excited to actually try and get it. I know one of my friends who is OBSESSED with axolotls is gonna be thrilled to do savage this time around.

Sorry dear, but it's not 2 hours once a week. It's more like 30 hours because everyone will be rolling for the mount too and you actually have to die over and over again in these boring fights. Maybe spend those 30 hours finding a second job instead of nolifing in the game and you won't struggle to afford $18...

A lack of empathy this severe is commonly associated with sociopathy. Please seek professional evaluation and assistance.

I'm sorry? If you can't even afford $18 for a mount what are you doing spending 30 hours in a raid? This is exactly the kind of thing neckbeards will do and then go on to get offended when people don't want to play with you to get the cute mounts.
