    While I often see a lot of entitlement in these forums, I don’t think it’s really fair to call this such. She(he?) simply expressed desire to do this event and obtain the 4 seat mount which current alternatives are limited to savage Eden and a mogstation purchase.

    Moreover, this specific mount wasn’t just handed out, it cost a fair investment of time to get the MGP to get. I didn’t see the OP say anything akin to “give it to me from an NPC for free thx”.

    Finally, the event was confirmed on some live letter and easy to do as they own the franchise involved...so why not?

    Umm, it's because it is in the hands of a sizable portion of the community. If it's a hard to get a raid mount that requires effort to acquire, then not an issue. But when something is easy to get but only around for a short period of time, that is an issue that should be resolved. The XV mount, outfits, and hair were all easy to get and only around for slightly over a month. This means players not able to log in that month, or people who had not yet come to the game missed the chance at an easy to get and frankly highly useful mount. In fact, that mount being a 4-person mount was the only mount of its kind in the game for over 2 months, until Shadowbringer was released. Also, players wouldn't have the other 4-person mount for another couple months past that point. Even now with lots of statics doing that raid, the bumper car is still not as common as the XV car. The balance of adding a 4-person mount to the Market will lessen the degree of disparity, but it doesn't change that out of the 3 4-person mounts it's still the nicest looking one. Which is why people want the event to come back regularly. The event last time happened April to May of 2019, and if they held to what they normally do, it would have happened again around the same period of time. This year it did not happen, which is why people are commenting more about it now.

    BTW I have 1 of the 3 and am close to the second on my Au Ra. But honestly, I'd rather have the car, as I missed the event due to having a full work schedule back in 2019, and wasn't playing MMOs at the time. I do not feel entitled to something I didn't earn, but I am annoyed the best version of a thing was something so mind numbling easy to get but gated with time.

    ---

    I should point out that the issues around the FFXV car pale in comparison to the S*** Show that was, and still is ...


    not the in-game model.

    I should point out, I have that mount, and the other one as well, because I played both factions in the specific time period they had the contest. And thanks to state laws and the way they did the contest, they can never again offer the Red side mount ever again. Blue side can get theirs anytime for coin.
