the new tank mounts

Exactly. They get something special for doing nothing. While a casual player tank will never get anything special.

Right there. You are the problem with this game.
"I want something for being mediocre."

Don't hide behind casual. Watch a two minute video on each turn and stop being a wanker.

So you want Nobel reward for being a common researcher???

Wait, i am getting my popcorn and be right back.

It melts my cheese that Healers get their special mount just for showing up at L30, while I have to do an imperial fecal-ton of difficult content to get mine.

To be honest I'd prefer if my unicorn was way more difficult to get, like the tanks' mounts, a lot of people just leveled the CNJ to 30 for that and it got kind of boring and not rewarding at all for healers. Maybe it was a little experiment to see if people are interested in mounts and I can understand it but still it's a bit sad.. that's why I'm getting my Kobold one :P

Unicorn was added back in beta to get people to play more healers. At that point in the game, leveling the 30 actually required what would be considered a reasonable investment of time so it served much the same purpose. The difference between the tank mounts and the unicorn is that the unicorn was added during an earlier phase such that we now consider the effort required to be laughable. Imagine what'll happen after we progress a few more patches and all of the current tank mount content is considered a laughable DF farm: that 200 will seem like nothing really.

Yeah I would have preferred a broader selection of content to be counted. I thought the mounts were going to be for encouraging tanks to queue on the duty finder because tank is often the last role to be filled for almost anything, low level dungeons and up. I wouldn't naturally do raids and trials 200 times over, it's such a high bar. Even 50 runs would feel draining on me. I guess it's something I need to wait a long time for, although I've already seen a couple of people with the warlion. Some people can just do repetition for so long without going crazy, like all the people who collected atma real quick.

If it makes you feel any better, the tank mounts are sloppily designed with low resolution textures. The lion has a hideous face with weird glassy looking eyes. If they looked amazing it would be a bigger issue but they really don't

My bear looks awesome, thankyouverymuch.

Care to post a few pics? The one pic they posted on the patch notes doesn't do it justice.

Just curious if I'm the only very upset tank about this?

I think the purpose was to encourage experienced tanks to participate in more 8-man activity, especially in PF and DF. If it was available to 4-mans, it wouldn't fulfill its purpose.

Besides, what's wrong with having certain rewards exclusive to certain achievements?

• I don't want to level my classes to 50. I don't get a Paragon's Crown.
  
• I don't want to go back in time and play 1.0. I don't get a Goobbue.
  
• I don't want to do dailies. I don't get a Bomb thingy.
  
• You don't want to do 8-man content. You don't get a Lion.

Want the reward? Do what's required to get it. Don't want to do it? Make peace with the fact that you won't get the reward. Just like anything else in this game.
