    Guess you didn't read the sentences before the one you focused on.

    These mounts are intended to be rare items for players who have already cleared the extreme primal battles, to incentivize players to continue and challenge these fights. At this time there are no plans to make any adjustments to the primal mounts, but if anything changes we will be sure to update you.

    Except it doesn't work because a 1% (or however low it is) drop which you have to roll against 7 other players to get feels so intangible almost nobody does the primals solely for mounts.

    The point is they are RARE because they want to give people incentive to KEEP doing them for it, since people who want nothing else from it will have no incentive to help. or do the fight. you'll have to still deal with the RNG.

    It's better to have the drop rate lower 8 times and drop 8 of them in 1 defeat than what it currently is. Because the point is about completing with 7 other ppl lotting them. It's called unfairness and randomness greater than the rareness.

    and his point was that their rarity is making people turn away from mount farming, not encouraging them to do it.
    It's true as well, you'll barely ever see a mount farming pt in a PF, maybe once a week, and it barely ever fills. If the mounts were doing their jobs, you'd see them in PF more often, but you don't.

    Maybe if they drop materials that can be used to make primal mounts and armor. I bet primal armor would drive a lot of players into it lol. Rare and hard to come by doesn't have to = RNG, though it certainly can do that job (not directed at you Saeed).

    and MY point is if it was a 100% drop and everyone had it then no one would do the fight at all, ever again. no one ever "goes" for the mount due to its rarity but if they don't actually have a mount they MAY do it in hopes it will drop.

    I know a few people who do it only for mounts as they don't want anything else from it.

    I would like the mounts but with the low drop rate and outdated gear drops it's just not worth the time.
