Post #2 has it right though. It was optional, entirely.

Technically, yes - but for people who enjoy collecting mounts and minions to the point where that consumes a lot of their time and focus in-game? Not so much. I did it because I like collecting stuff - but it was very tedious and dull.

Now if you go about it that way, you should already know that collecting all mounts and minions is going to be an arduous, tedious, and expensive endeavor. If you had gone in and thought that you would get everything straight off the bat, that's not how it goes, at least not with MMO's.

The challenge could have come from something more engaging especially when the game already relies heavily on FATE's to artificially make certain items harder to acquire.

That's true, but they would put more money into it than money they would get from it.
