The Amaro mount...

[Bixillarla]

There's always a possibility that they can always release a slightly different Amaro mount that's obtainable by other means? It could end up a reward for Il Mheg tribe questline.

or thrown on the mog station.

people are forgetting this is a game that never ends technically. you have forever to get everything to 80 and get an amaro. it's all a matter of perspective. do you want it now or later?

I mean, until they shut down the servers cause the game didn't make 5 billion dollars.

Remember when Tomb Raider was called a commercial failure and then they rebooted the reboot because it only made like 500 million in its first month of whatever? That was Squeenix being stupid, can easily see them being just as heckin' stupid here.

This won't be here forever. Just look at the countless "sunset" MMOs.

It's ugly. There should be a much better reward for the achievement.

[grinkdaboy]

just run MSQ roulette every day for about a week or so and that should get you to 80, provided you always get praetorium. also here's a bonus hint: you can gain the xp bonus of your aetheryte earrings when you're synced to 70 or below. it might not be a whole lot extra, but it adds up

snip.

FFXI is still going after all these years. Even though it's not quite forever I think the point being made was that you have lots of time to obtain something (not just this mount), there is no urgency to get whatever it is immediately other than to gloat probably.

Well, I don't need it today or tomorrow. I'll get there in time eventually as I want to level up all jobs to 80 anyway.

If you think the mount is lackluster and not worth the work, then why do you care it's hard to get, you likely wouldn't use it anyways.
If you think the mount is great and really want it, then it should be worth going through the trouble of leveling everything and gives you something to work towards, which is kinda a thing mmos need. It's not like leveling jobs is some impossible grind like the hunt mounts even.

I personally really wanted this mount ever since seeing it in the benchmark and while I also assumed it would be an msq reward and was a bit disappointed I didn't get it, ultimately I'm glad it's an achievement reward. The issue with msq mounts is that even if they look great(I love middy from HW for example), the fact that literally everyone has them, diminishes their value and makes me less likely to use them. With Amaro, a mount I really like, being locked behind an actual achievement, I will feel satisfaction and accomplishment once I finally get it and can proudly use it without feeling unoriginal.

It's still a substantial grind. I don't mind that there's a mount reward for leveling all jobs. My issue is that the basic Amaro seems like it doesn't fit the grind required. Because getting alljobs to 70 is still a big undertaking and time sink, for....the basic mount that everyone in the expansion uses. If was soemthing like say, the mechanical frog mount, or somethign special like that it wouldn't bug me.

[Arazehl]

For many it's not worth the grind just for that, but everything lately is a grind for one thing or another. Only once in awhile we may get an event mount, but seems that is getting rarer these days.
