RIP Minion Collectors :(

I have NEVER before seen a pay2play with ingame shop to that extend how we have it now!
The number of items is even more than most free2play games have...
And same with all those gatings behind EXCLUSIVE content.

What's the point of a collection if nothing is rare in it...?

That's why you have limited editions in real life...

You arnt a collector, sorry but rarity is only for "sellers"
Collectors aim to get a full set, to make it whole again...
If you cant complete the set, you can as good as throw all away!

Things can be rare without being limited. Just make something difficult to get, so it takes a lot of skill, grinding, and/or luck to get it, and it will be rare, but people who want it can keep working towards getting it. If that were the case here, nobody would be complaining about it.

Pre-nerfed drop rate primal mounts has quite a lot to say on that matter of no one complaining lol.

Well thanks to preorder minions and all those merchandise minions that I missed because I did not play at that time I would never had a complete collection either way (and it irks me..) but I still had said to me that I will try to collect those ingame minions that are included after I started playing..well seems like this aim is done too..

This game has a variety of content to do and people do it out of their own reasons. Some people will try to bang their head against the hardest content in the game for the reward/accomplishment..others love to just socialize with others, some like to collect things...I would be okay if the minions would need a high amount of wolf marks because it would be a reward for long time playing PVP and at the same time I can work towards it on my own pace...(so a win/win for both sides..people play PVP longer if they want the minion and we can take our time to do so)

They now take their limited time to create a exclusive mount and minion (and its recolors) for only a very small population..yet its somehow not possible to implement the bunny suit for men much faster..

I am not sure how this is even good for the true PVPers...I mean now people will try to get at least into the top 100 which means that you will have lots of people that will play this only for the reward and not for PVP itself..maybe this will even keep some of the more dedicated PVPers from getting a good rank in the season by loosing lots of matches thanks to these people..

I kinda wonder how people would feel if they restrict their content? How about making an exclusive hair style that only drops a certain amount of time? How about only a certain amount of raiders can get the new mount or even the gear? I mean its just an ingame item? And if you want it you just need to git gud or something..

There are some hunters, who are here since the beginning, who have the 2 legacy mounts, the preorder and collector editions mount&minions & bahamut & dalamud, the shantotto minion from the FFXI event, the golem from dragon quest.
I'm one of those.
It is true that as today, neither collection, minions, mounts, both, cannot be 100% completed by the great majority of players because there are some that are no longer possible to get.
I mean yeah, unless you are a legacy players and you never stopped playing the game since the start and did all the seasonals events, and bought all soundtracks & plushies and shit, you cannot do this collection.
But I'm one of those, and we are a few and some.
As today I have 208/210 minions and 56/69 mounts and all those I am missing I can get, anytime.
Whatever our reasons for farming minions & mounts are, may it be because we think it's cute, because of OCD, or just because we like it, this is huge for us.
Make an achievement saying "play 1000 feast matchs for this minion", I will do it. But the way they did this is really different and hardcore on another level because it's time limited and we have to be good, we have to compete against each other (hunters), and against pro pvp players.
Someone told me that if I got so many already it's because I put a lot of effort in it and I can go the extra mile for the Feast season 3 rewards, and it's not really wrong.
I will do it, at least I will try to do it. From 3.45 to 3.55 I will most likely play PVP a HUGE LOT, and maybe I will get some rewards, but getting the 4 rewards (top 10 solo and top 10 group) will be really really difficult.
I will be really bummed if this fails because it will mean that my collection can no longer be achieveable to 100%, BUT, at least I would have tried and if can't do it this will maybe relieve me of some stress, but also take off a huge part of why I like this game.
Some people aim to be world first or server first on raid content, me and some others aim to be server first m&m collectionist.

stuff

i didnt mean to belittle your acheivements, anything that was done with passion should be commendable, but when you (i mean the OP) start to whine, then it's a turn-off.

talk nice, present your case properly at the right forum and believe me you'll receive much support from the community.

That's not how collecting works just because u there from the start doesn't mean anything. Also you can be sure u wont get into top 10as new player sorry to destroy your dreams. Lol

I'll try anyway, if I can't get top 10 then I'll try top 100 for the mount. We'll see.
