Seriously SE ? (dual rider chocobo)

[Nekodar]

Personally I just want a dual mounted Chocobo to use with anyone. Having it tied to one other specific person ( imo ) is dumb, unless as Ariele mentioned, there's gonna be different versions.

It's not tied to a specific other person. You just need to be recruiter to get it, then anyone that parties with you can ride with you, according to the text.

[...]assumption[...]

I'll be honest: This doesn't look like an assumption. This 100% looks like it's completely legitimate - It's included as an option on the mogstation and these are the listed rewards for it.

Well, I guess it might just be that this could be (one of many) dual-mounts, but considering it's already live? I have my doubts. >.<

It's an assumption because there are no facts to it... There is barely any information to make a proper conclusion.

The only information (read: fact) we have right now is that recruit a friend allows you to obtain the mount. Nowhere does it say that it is the only way to obtain it.

I don't understand, what isn't factual about it? It shows rather clearly:

Recruit-a-friend
90 days gametime -> Get a 2-man chocobo (For the recruiter)

This isn't an assumption, save the fact that it will be the -only- way to get a 2-person chocobo. There might be another way.

Yes, that is the only fact. Everything else is an assumption. And that is what people are getting mad about.

I doubt people would get mad if marriage is still a viable way to get the mount, in addition to recruit a friend. That that is what we have NO information about. People are just assuming that recruit a friend is the ONLY way when we have no evidence to support this claim.

Ahhh, ok, that makes more sense to me, sorry! XD

I hope Marriage/Recruit-a-friend isn't the only way. I'd prefer there be a way to get one in-game without those two methods via actual achievement. Otherwise, you'll see what you saw in RIFT - people will get married, 'cause chocobo.

I'm never going to get it since none of my friends play computer games

I'm never going to get it because I value their friendship so wouldn't recommend this game to them in its current state.

Go figure after my husband an myself convinced everyone we knew who gamed to play xP .. bah

Not to be that guy, but you are being quite presumptuous yourself assuming it isn't the only way. That's not a fact either, merely your assumption.

The only difference is your assumption is through rose tinted shades, as SE have previously been very keen on exclusive items that come from paying more money. Sadly this mount being exclusive to this scheme would not contradict their track record at all and I would not be surprised to learn that it is an exclusive reward. I don't care either way as I've tried getting my friends to play this game and don't believe the promise of galloping into combat on a Chocobo with me would be the selling point.

I agree. People are under the belief there may be a similar chocobo from the marriage system but unless that includes some fee I struggle to see them just handing out a free mount for an activity anyone can perform in-game with a willing participant. Unless they plan on having people fill out a form similar to that of FFXI where you had to prove you were a couple in RL etc.
