I'm more annoyed with the exp headpiece being infinitely more useful than the helm of light or my asuran armguards. No idea where my hermes sandals went, but I guess they'd be silly anyway what with sprint being a thing. Still, it's not like exp is hard to come by or that I have that many classes under 20 that I even want to play.

The 2 person mount seems somewhat ridiculous to me. It's clumsier than both people using their own mount (first person has to summon the mount, second person right clicks and gets on once it's there) and besides that, when do you ever travel places with people!? It' snot like FFXI where you might need to run for 20 minutes to get somewhere. At most you're travelling for 3 minutes and there is auto-follow. This is barely new functionality and honestly they have to offer something for a recruitment campaign. A 2 person mount seems justified for this purpose, so why not? Nobody's ever going to use the damn thing except when it comes up in their mount roulette.
