Goobue mount

[Coris]

I see what you mean but, I'm afraid that lore gets thrown out the window (or at least bent to the extremes) in front of money and money is what the new Goobbue mount is supposed to generate, so to speak. Their "clever" solution here was to give this Goobbue flowers on the head instead of a carpet, in order to keep the 1.0 players distinct (in a considerably smaller way) from the ones with the new Goobbue, who will now feel a bit more satisfied for being able to ride this monster, albeit a lil different, like the 1.0 players can.

I called this back at the end of 1.0 lol I didn't say "with a crown" or anything I just said "watch, they'll re-release a gobbue that looks the same just without a carpet". As far as I'm concerned, the legacy mount hasn't been devalued and SE went by their word. That exact mount won't be available again.

And @Coris (I think it was you?) if your mount is special to you, will this suddenly make all your 1.0 time and experiences vanish from your memory? You will still know that it's YOUR 1.0 reward. And this next thing is not meant offensively, but does it only matter that you can flaunt it in front of other players? You still have your mount they don't and you should still know that and feel proud of it.

It makes me sad and disappointed, because they said otherwise. Other people might think that this is trivial (I can understand that) and others might say it was naive to believe it. At the moment I can even agree with it.

I'd never stop being proud of having my Goobbue, but being proud of it doesn't include showing it off (can only speak for myself here, plus I have to admit that I only did it ONCE to re-create a wall and then never again!)


Urgh x.x So tired right now and I'll go to bed after this one. Dunno if this is utterly crap what I wrote there. I just want(ed) to say that I am pretty much sad about this.
