“Simply speak...” – Request for more in-depth contents

[Atlas]

Geez, can you people stop complaining about every. Single. Thing?!
They're already working hard enough for 1.21 and 2.0.
As Bruce said, this is just a gift... more like a promo item (y'know, the thing that usually come with a Collector's Edition, and those don't have quests AFAIK).

Stop complaining.

It's not like it's a group of people all complaining about everything as it comes out. Each thing released will have individual people who don't like it and will post about it. Even if they've never complained before. That's just how opinions are.

I'm not against this as a simple gift. But I don't want people going around thinking a desire for deeper content, even in simple gifts, isn't unwarranted either.

I'd much rather they focus their resources on patch 1.21 and beyond, than taking aside people to work on a quest for a gift that won't even be obtainable post 2.0

A gift is all about the experience in which is was given. If SE started of by saying that they wanted to include a new mount as a gift (which they did in the live letter), and made you do a lot of hoop jumping or placed a GC fee in order to receive it, then it isn't a gift.

You're lucky it just didn't pop up in your inventory for signing in. The fact that you don't have to go through a lot of hoop jumping, and they add in a bit of lore when they could have very well not done anything, validates you and the gift. They are just simply showing that you matter as a customer and giving you something fun with easy access. What more do you want from that? Honestly.

Any other content... I'd complain with you, but not when it was already stated to be a gift. You obviously don't know how to receive one.

Edit: Also, one more thing to add. How do you want challenging content to go along with a mount that is gained at Lv30? The only way to make this challenging is to make it into a big old fetch quest which would probably get you raging as much as you are about the subject currently you think is so gosh darn important. There is no winning. lol

I'm torn. I like a good quest where you have to do exciting and interesting things to obtain fantastic rewards. However, like a poster said above it is a gift for hanging around after billing has begun and should be easily obtainable by everyone. I do think some story to explain why your character is obtaining this rare mount is a good thing.

they probably have the quest design teams cranking out 2.0 quest and 1.21 job quest and the cost/benefit of adding a quest for an item that will not be available after a few more months probably didn't make sense to them. Also designing quest on a pre 2.0 engine is probably a pain.

[Kyra]

They should play vanguard saga of heros. The mount quests on those were EPIC. Just speaking to an npc and getting this new mount instantly is pathetic.

[MiyukiYuketsu]

you know, i really don't "care" that we didn't have to "quest" for the goobbue... given the fact that I burnt half my anima getting a chocobo...

needless to say, this was just SE throwing players "a bone" for actually paying for this game... and I don't think that is a bad thing at all...

[Paninaro]

Just returned after a 2 month break,can't for the life of me imagine what brain condition inspired me to pay for this months subs-game is utterly tedious.
Swift return to C.O.D. for me-cheerio

[Lurex]

Yay! So now I can go talk to NPC, get my horn, call Gobbue and stand around and do nothing. Thanks SE.
