    Primal Mounts on Cash Shop or Higher Drop Rate

    Over the last 2 weeks I've spent at least 10 hours in Ramuh EX trying to get my hands on Markab, one of the last 3 Primal mounts I need to get Kirin. Every time I've gotten terrible rolls, and it takes forever for it to finally drop when farming for it. I'm seriously at the breaking point. I'd be willing to pay SE to get these mounts so I can stop fighting over it with other people, some being brand new to the farm because other getting bored, and getting them instead of those of us that have been in that instance for hours.

    I don't think they should make them cash shop, cause then all the hard work those other people who farmed for them would have been for nothing if they can pay something like $10-$20 for a primal mount.
    Maybe just an increase the drop rate of the ponys.
    At least something like 1/8 or 1/6 chance of a pony appearing.

    I wouldn't see a problem with the drop rate being 100% like the minions in Hildibrand quest line. Still gotta roll between 8 people and do that for 6 different primal fights.

    The minions in the hildibrand line are purely optional to get. The elemental horses are actually in a quest for another mount. Minions are not mounts. Why should they be treated the same? And if they were 100% drop rate, the only 'effort' you'd need is to get a half decent group together, and then get all the horses in a single day easily

    And this mount is 200% purely optional too. You already have your chocobo. You dont NEED a Kirin.

    Are you saying that a minion is "more optional" than the Kirin? Grinding all minions for the fun of it being more a waste than getting the Kirin? Both the same to me. Your answer doesnt make sense.

    As a far as i know both Sleipnir and some Scion minions are already in the cash shop as optional stuff to buy.

    Both are optional vanity stuff for people who like to show off with. They dont have anything to offer outside of a nice look.

    For me minions=mounts and i dont care about which way SE makes them available.

    OOOOOOHHH BUURRRNNNNN ^

    But yeah, she does make sense. It's optional and if you REALLY want Kirin, a super rare mount, you have to work for it.
    Besides, the more beautiful something is, the harder to get it right?
