Tank Mount

[Cspr_Answrth]

This thought came to me while I was asleep (I don't know why this is what my brain resorts to when I sleep... but I digress).

For the tank mount, instead of making it 200/200 for the mount, what if it was incentivised a bit more. In the case of BOTH the WAR and the PLD mounts, what if:

50/200 You get the base mount, as it currently appears.
100/200 The mount receives visually upgraded in some way. Perhaps a more ornate saddle or something.
200/200 You mount receives yet another visual upgrade. Perhaps armor of some sort.

I feel with more of a tiered approach, people would be inclined to continue tanking longer, and you could actually inflate the numbers a bit.

Perhaps make base 100, secondary 300, and top 500 (like the commendations). This would give Tanks a bit of a break, but yet keep them in the Tanking business even longer overall.

Tanks get a mount, and a reason to continue tanking... and everyone wins.

Now please tear my idea apart, and make it better.

Sounds fine to me.

How about a lion/bear themed chococbo barding for doing some number of low level roulettes? That's where tanks are most desperately needed.

I agree that tanks are needed in the lower level dungeons.

Inclusive with my original concept, we could go further to include ALL dungeons, and massively inflate the numbers.
400/800/1200

Something of that sort.

I wonder if the Wyvern that they're talking about for the Drg's is gonna be just a mount - that would make me happy just to see those smug pole monkeys' faces drop

By this layout, potentially every class could get a mount in this archetype. Milestones might change... perhaps lower for DPS to get them out of the grind (since we don't really need more of them).

I can't support this idea enough!

Cut the numbers in half and make only solo DF count for the achievement and you have less tanks leaving dungeons.

What we should do, is grab all the tanks that do leave and send them for behaviour correction therapy. Because they obviously weren't taught to consider other people :P then Squeenix wouldn't have the stress of creating all this stuffness :P

Edit: ^ Not just tanks, anyone really!
