Is the "One Steppe at a Time V" achievement reward a bit cruel to put up?

[Eno_R]

an update for my journey through this little monster of an achievement.
I'm finally half way \o/ (51 wins as of writing this)
My Bf has been joining me on ques in recent so that by even a fraction, I have another person that I can trust isn't just standing there for queue experience.
Does that mean i'm doing better at it? god no, I've failed 3 times today so far and last week I had a 7 loss streak before I got anything that mattered. (Ricky bobby rules in this achievement: if you're not 1st You get no progress)
I've even taken up to trying out different classes, the gameplan seems to be Tanks being able to become virtually unkillable for a time in a timed event so I've gotten to practice being an utterly toxic unkillable bean for bursts of 10-30 seconds, Untill the entire team focuses you with more stuns on various classes than what seemed feasible. Still can't figure out how BLM nukes so many people without being killed for it constantly. Sage being able to hold areas has felt utterly useless since everyone seems to know how to drop an AOE inside the shield making it a useless killbox. I want to continue using Machinist but kills seem to be only possible for groups of people overwhelming someone with their multitude of defensive/healing abilities and I too often found myself focusing the wrong person. (sniping is still fun though)

In the very least having someone to do it with is a way to help ground you, if you find yourself as someone with a temper that tries to get away from you. Its not perfect... having an entire team be somehow coordinated and all decide to focus you with stuns locking you in place despite having popped cooldowns. Or getting Snipped by someone through your shield when its not once ever worked for you that way. Or swearing that a Paladin somehow effing Holmgang'd you, Paladin's don't have a yank move right!? wtf...
either way having someone around to destress with while voluntarily running your head into a wall (metaphorically)Is good.
*EDIT* took 5 or so fails but I got a win xD i'm free for today.

For other context Construct 7 is a reference from FFT, for me Worker 8/Construct 8 was one of my most favorite characters in that game. It would be an easy guess to how I learned to draw my particular style of art. I can see the lines that lead me to having a fixation on wanting to get that mount.
What's more I've also made my own FC in the hopes of eventually craft/sell Airship parts so I can start making money. The S-Core from Faux Commander usually sells for somehwere between 15-20 million gil. Maybe I can just buy the red one and that neurotic part of my brain that wants the dang mount can be satisfied with a red one.
