I think Goobue's are silly looking mounts, so I don't care one way or another. What I do care about is the idea of rewarding Legacy players over and over again for sticking with the game (a game which was free to play for a *very* long time because of the issues it had).

Simply put, it was likely many of these players who loved the original incarnation of FFXIV who also stood in the way of feedback to change/improve the game back during beta (when that feedback was needed the most). Back then you couldn't make a complaint about FFXIV without its biggest fans coming at you with torch, pitchfork, and a whole lot of trolling. In the end they were the ones left with the game because they had helped chased everyone else off, and in the process contributing to the disaster that it was.

But, by all means, keep patting them on the back. :P
