Not sure what happened to my original post. Just got back home and can't seem to find it. So, here goes again.

I very rarely post on game forums, but I'm a bit too pissed at this point to just turn the other cheek. You, SquareEnix, or the developers, or whom ever, knew that people have been asking for a two-person mount. In case you forget, or anyone else does, let me quickly quote from the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV:

“We’ve received a lot of requests for two-person mounts and we’ve begun work on them, but we’re still only testing movement and issues related to programming. The models haven’t been finished, but if there are no issues, we will be looking into making a special chocobo design and create the model for it.

Yoshida: Since the time has just about come for the implementation of two-person chocobos, we’ve also been preparing a special chocobo that can be ridden by a bride and groom when they get married. “

So, knowing that this is a feature people have been asking for, you, in your infinite wisdom, decide to slap those people across the face and give them the middle finger by making it available through a referral program. Why do I say this? Because the only people that I would or could refer into this game are either already playing it, or have played it and since quit. So now I am left to either paying over $60 (which will not happen) or advertise on other sites offering money, items and services, only hoping that someone will take me up on my offer and not someone else who has a better offer.

Some may think this new mount is just vanity, but unfortunately it is a specific mechanic to an item in the game that many people have been asking for. Yes, apparently there is another two-person mount that will be available for married couples, but what if I want to ride with someone other than my betrothed, or what if I don't want to get married.

Between this last little stunt, the hunts (which has completely trivialized end game content/gear, except for vanity reasons) and the oh so popular time sink called Atma's, my patience with this game is nearing its end. I am going to hold out until 2.4 to see how the “Marriage Mount” works, but I don't have high hopes that you will do the right thing.

My suggestion to you, SquareEnix, or whom ever it may concern, is to implement another method to obtain the two-person mount, or make damn sure that the Marriage Mount is not only for the married couple.
