    See this I feel is the BAD example for cashshop items. It's bad because this is something people have earned in game from actual content. THis isn't a costume that isn't out yet so yeah, Going to disagree on this one. Should they change it... sure why not. Things change, but don't put something that is already hard and people have over camed this in game to the store. That;s just wrong.

    Tbh since I don't really like pvp at all (tried it, I just don't like it at all), I don't mind. You can leave your pitchforks at home though cause that Bennu mount was introduced in cashshop too and the Zu mount is arguably easier to obtain as well and people still bought it.

    It's just... I get that those unique rewards are there to make people go pvp but how many people actually benefit from those rewards? I wonder if that really justified the dev time...

    I'd rather not the PvP ADS mounts become cash shop purchasable.

    At most, maybe have a different colored/themed ADS mount as cash shop since this is what they did with the Bennu and Fat Chocobos

    This would be unfair to those who worked hard to get the mount? How is this any different than those who worked hard to get Kirin and the AS4 mount? Now there's echo and increased drop rates plus unsync!

    I'm sorry but I no longer can sympathize keeping the PvP mount snowflake locked while other mounts that took effort to acquire are made easier.

    I think that's an apples to oranges scenario. Kirin was a quest reward from a quest that needed items that were dropped to trigger, the Gobwalker itself was a direct drop. Both drone Mounts however are achievement rewards, something I don't think SE can "nerf" so easily. They seem adverse to changing achievements to the point where I sometimes think that they for some reason can't, that the achievements were finalized the moment the patch went live, despite the little evidence to the contrary (most of which were related to text rather than the actual flags).

    While I don't agree with them putting pvp rewards on the cash shop to circumvent the Pvp requirement, they do need to do something about the queue.

    Like...removing the GC restriction.

    No. It's a reward for your effort. If you can't put in the effort, you don't get the reward.

    If you don't like your GC's winrate, then suck it up and switch and get your 200 wins from scratch. I was Mael for a long time and I was at 150 wins and I switched to Flames and got 200 wins in about a month of grinding.

    what effort is there in waiting 3 hours a day to let RNG decide if your party members are good enough to win or not? it takes no skill to do this, you can be bad and get the ADS mount if you have no life and dont mind sitting in que all day. literally, nothing about this takes any effort whatsoever. sure you can try to carry your team and be good and put in effort, which is nice if more people did that, but most dont, and one player cant carry an alliance.

    like it or not, this is not about skill, its about being lucky and waiting.

    I'd like an ADS, I'm at about 50/200 for the original ADS, and barely scraped anything on the new one. But having GC restriction at the same time as having the result under the mercy of RNG... just bite me if you think that's effort.

    Baby, tell me, what's your motive?

    I'd rather they just keep it locked to achievement only. Regardless of whether people just used the winning gc to gather up wins for the mount and then abandon pvp all together or not, I like that there is a reward for playing pvp and I'd like it to stay that way even if that means less people can grab it. I think it'd be sad to see the pvp mounts be degraded to cash shop fodder.
