Lets talk new Mounts!

This isn't a thankyou to tanks.

Its a kick in the teeth...

There is no way anyone has more than 200 succesfull completions of these instances as a pld. I know I killed garuda ex more than 70 times but thats with 5 different jobs, not with pld alone.

The simple truth is, once you get your primal accessory, you move on to the next or play with a different job. Dungeons like amdapor keep, pharos sirius and castrum (dungeons that a mere 3 months ago were still regarded as "high level" dungeons) should have counted towards the score.

I think I have enough on PLD, but I'll have to do some work on WAR to finish it off.

No, you dont. Well, actually maybe you do.

Edit.

It seems to me that the confusion around these boards comes from the fact that people interpret the requirement in 2 different ways.

The first way of reading it, is that all 8 man content counts toward the achievement. In which case, yea I believe you that you meet the requirement. I may have 200 completions myself. But:

The second way of reading it, and tbh I dont see how else you should read it, is that ONLY the dungeons listed by the notes are counted toward the achievements. So I post it again from the notes:

"As of patch 2.2, the following trials and raids will count toward achievements requiring the completion of high-level duties with a full party:

The Howling Eye (Extreme) / The Navel (Extreme) / The Bowl of Embers (Extreme) / The Whorl Eater (Extreme) / Thornmarch (Extreme) / The Binding Coil of Bahamut (excluding Turn 3) / The Second Coil of Bahamut"

If this is true, then I do not meet the requirements and I highly doubt you do too. Just for reference, completing coil 1 to 5, is only 4 completions per week. So in 1 month, you get 16 completions assuming you never missed any. In 5 months, thats still only 80 completions. And thats assuming you tanked coil since November last year, never missed any coils. Never were sick. Never had a project meeting its deadline, never had to work overtime for your boss and never had any internet outage or another triple A game you wanted to play and finish that week. And if you have all this done, you still need to get 120 primal extreme kills, using only paladin or only warrior.

If the second way, is how you should read it, then trust me, only a handfull of people have that many kills on their name using only a tank job.

And as for that guy who said he cared about the roulette gils:
lol I do not doubt that you spam run roulettes on a satursday evening but trust me when I say you are absolutely unique in that regard than. Because 23k gil a week is fkin PEANUTS. You must be very poor in game to be that desperate. As for me, I tend to spend my time a bit more productive.

Yeah I must have miss that part, easily doable for those with statics though but then it doesn't really solve the lack of tank in other level 50 dungeons
Guess it's time to get some more gear for my tank and ask my static to let me tank coil, must get that bear.

[Hysterior]

i need that bear as well...

[krazyrs]

sad i tank all that stuff in static as PLD.. i dont care for the lion.. i wan the bear
time to tell static ima be WAR forever now

[valho]

They did mention that it's for those that have been tanking for a long time, so not expecting it to be easy to get.
Well some incentive for me to start tanking coil instead of just dps-ing.

What is this supposed to mean. Edit edit edit.

lol I have been tanking since October last year. Thats not a long time for you? When this patch comes out, I do not meet the requirement for mount. I doubt anyone does. I may only have 60 succesfull completions as pld on my name. And zero as war.

This is not a "thank you, tanks". This is a kick in the teeth and stay the f..k down.

I was running Castrum and Amdapor and Wanderers when they WERE the highest level dungeons. And I kept everyone safe and most of them dont even thank you for it and if you screw up, you would never hear the end of their bitching.

I still remember those Ifrit hm pug groups where you are responsible for stunning the eruptions. I stunned 9 out of 10 and that 1 time you were too late, they all started bitching at me. Good healers and range run away from eruptions regardless of stun anyway but noooooo...ofc it was all MY fault that they got hit. Never mind the fact that only 1 was missed. Good ol days, right.

And people wonder where all the tanks have gone?

I stuck around as tank but even tanking since October, there is no way I have more than 200 completions. Counting all coils and assuming you ran them for 4 months, that only gives you around 40-45 completions depending on your personal score. And then the primals. Well, maybe 20 as pld. And thats 60-65. If you had a static from the start and been tanking since August, you maybe have a bit more. So basically, at this rate, if you want both mounts...work on it till March 2015????? wtf and this is supposed to be a "thank you"?

[valho]

tanks will get 7x times more gils than before when doing roulette, they will get free mounts for playing their class and i still expect some of them to complain
poor tanks, really... such a hard life

stuff

I was going to post a reply, but I am lazy so here I just quote Hysterior post
There is no point in arguing with you anyway. I will still try to get that mount even though I am working from scratch with 0 extreme/coil clear as tank.

[Truedragon]

oh woopy! 7 times more gil with roulette lol! do you know how ridiculous you guys sound atm? so instead of 500 gil, Im getting 3500 gil as a tank. a whole 3500 gil!! hahahaha

If you are jealous, then I suggest you pick up tanking. In the meantime, let me count on my hand how many tanks give two shits about that 3500 gil...um zero.

3500 lol. Come back to me when the roulette gives me 35k per run.
