I’ve asked this question every patch this expansion so far. The only people that are all right with waiting to buy them with totems 2 patches later are people who have been blessed by RNG or are “casual” (read : sane) and don’t farm new extremes 99 times the first week. I killed Lakshmi and Susano 170+ times each before I won their mounts. 151 for Shinryu - I never won it, bought it from the vendor last week. 150 for Byakko - waiting for it to be put on the vendor.

I understand that feeling of bitterness when you see someone on a new mount knowing they’ve probably killed it less than you but those who quit because of their bitter feelings are only hurting themselves.
