I don't understand why people thought it would be for blue mage. People found out about the mount through sites like Garlondtools and there was nothing for blue mage listed. No spells, no achievements, nothing. So why would the mount be there and not the achievement it would be associated with? The blue mage update comes out later.

People thought it would be simply because of the raid boss for the next set of blue mage fights? What does a morbol have to do with Alexander or coils of Bahamut? I really feel everyone who believed that the mount was for blue mage were setting themselves up for disappointment.

Also that thing has the dumbest flight animation
