Sure, it's more of an achievement when you get it while it was difficult... but a lot of groups go back and do old stuff for fun, like getting all of the birds or even further back and getting the horses, especially if you started later in the game. Even in the FC I'm part of, we do retro raid nights where we'll go back and do Alexander Savage or something so that people get a new mount.

Let me spend my wolf collars on something other than weapons, already.
