Buying an EX Mount for 99 totems right away instead of waiting 8 months...

I feel like there would be some monkey paw type stuff happen if SE threw players a bone with stuff like this.

I haven't done a current tier EX raid because the idea of doing it 99 times potentially makes me want to jump off a bridge. If they reduced the totem count to like ~50 I'd consider doing it.

Update from me. I won the mount! I saw it drop five times in my pug groups and on the 91st kill I rolled an 81.

Again though, I still feel the time between when the fight is released to when the mount is added to the vendor is not only pointless but insulting. Can anyone who has farmed 99 tokens be said to have not earned the right to it? Yet the person who rng favored, has? Why punish those with poor luck/rolls? Sure, making the mount have a low drop rate keeps players coming to try their luck, but so does immediately adding the mount to the vendor for those willing to knock out 99 kills.

On a side note, it would also be nice if they added a totem dump for poor fools like me that accumulated over 90 totems before winning the mount with a good roll. Like a housing item or the barding material or even the song from the fight.

Congrats Darkdays! ^_^

Having rare items in an MMO is fun. Honestly I think the sudden amount of complains about the system is because more people want the mount, you'll get it eventually, why does it have to be right now?

Having money in real life is fun. Honestly I think the sudden amount of employees complaining about the system is because more people want their pay check, you'll get it eventually, why does it have to be right now?

Crazy how I do 99 clears and I'm told I don't deserve the mount. Apparently doing 99 clears on patch when the content is at its hardest is underserving of the mount.

Can you tell me why doing 99 clears today, not getting the mount, proceeding to never log back in for 6 months, and then logging back in on the patch they add it in suddenly means I deserve to have the mount? Why does waiting suddenly make me deserving when I literally cleared it 99 TIMES and gave up 13.2 hours of my life minus pf queue, progging, and wiping?

Thanks! By far my favorite style of mount they've added. Wings of our own instead of riding something crazy. Those mounts where you're holding on like a bug are just too unappealing to me.

Well, I have 72 runs, I saw the mount 5 times and each time it was taken by a person who did not make 20 runs or lay face down on the floor the whole fight. And my rolls at that moment were 1, 16, 1, 3, 47. And how can you get anything with these rolls? For example, my friend did: 38r EX1 - got a mount. And 16r EX2 - got a mount.

sometimes i feel like in the back the code works like if player_deathcount=>3 then set roll between 1 and 50
this game punishes good people and dont you dare to stop doing this content and proceed to another one. While its obsolute in 8 months and each 123 spammer can get the mount with ease
or buy it with totems. For me as someone who do the content on release it feels lika a self torture so i am masochistic i guess... Sad part is nothing will change.

The people defending this system sound like gambling addicts fr. Go play any of the hundreds of mobile gacha games out there if you want the "~prestige~" of having a rare thing drop via pure RNG.

If someone put in the time and effort to run a battle 99 times, like I had to do for Zodiark (the only EW EX mount I have because I didn't have the heart to do that all over again for the rest of the expansion) then just give us the mount.

"But my rare thing I got for getting a big number won't be as rare! And having a rare thing that all these other people don't have makes me feel superior to them, and I like that feeling!" I don't care. There are lots of rare mounts in this game that take actually dedication to get that you can show off with. "I rolled some dice and got a big number" isn't impressive or prestigious. Like all this does is make me NOT want to run these fights when they're current and help populate PF because it feels like a waste of my time. Which is a shame, because I like doing the fights when they're current content for the challenge, but I'm not going to dedicate that much time if I can't even get something nice at the end of the road.

But the most offensive thing is that the developers will not listen to us, and nothing will change. And everything will be as it is now. A guy who killed less than 10 times with a mount and does not walk more than PF and those people who are trying to make 99 with the hope of still getting a mount and that 0.5% of players who will walk more than 99 times to see each time how a player who lay face down on the floor and made less than 20 runs takes the mount from under his nose (and then this person once again falls into despondency and leaves the game)
