Beast tribe minions/mounts feel like a slap in the face.

Those prices are fine. Fancy mounts are usually pretty expensive in games.

Though as for vendor unlocks, I think they should have included more like exclusive vanity pieces, a few unique i70 gear pieces for gil (since darklight is common anyways) or maybe even materias/food.

From my experience with other MMO's, the daily quest vendors even unlocked a single BiS accessory piece or high end materia at max rank. This encourages more players to grind and generally keeps them subbed longer.

snip.

Because it was so much fun in WoW to grind out limited dailies for months so that you could get that one item you needed, only to walk into the raid you now have the ilvl for and replace it on the first boss.
I am against rep grinds for gear. I love the idea behind XIV's daily rewards, its all vanity. Mounts, Pets, Dyes and materials. I don't need any of it, So I'm not doing them, except as some easy XP when leveling a new job. Unlike other games that force you to grind rep dailies for endgame gear.

I agree entirely and would have loved to see something a bit more "useful" on the vendors but SE's stance is the dailies are only there for casual play, so they will not do this.

If they add additional ranks that help you earn the new tomes - all effort put into maxing it out thus far will have been worth it.

yah, it's not like you get handed a bunch of mounts, for free...like all the other mounts in the game. so why do you suddenly need to pay 120k for beast mounts?
then they gonna add new beast dailies/mounts too, for sahagin, goblins, shiva; we gonna pay 600k, combined, for all 5? quite a lot.

then again, this is kinda like wha wha, i'm entitled to the beast mounts, give them to me nao!
so meh. most people just run around in that stuff, for a few days, to show off, then go back to chocobo.

also, this isn't necessarily the highest rank; just at the moment. They might add gear later, something like Odin/behe gear.
BiS, not gonna happen, it's just an illusion anyways. It depends on circumstance, and all stats are quite the same, dps-wise.
It's like the argument over if DRG or MNK is the best. Just different sides of the same coin.
