Mount farming

[Vidu]

I mean... you answered it yourself, both by making the correct assessment - "keeping the content alive" - and by providing an example that shows that their stratgy is clearly working: Instead of stopping after getting the needed tokens, people are willing to clear that content up to 500 more times to get their mount asap. So its very much working as intended: More bodies in the pool for the content - they have very little reason to change that.

Personally, I never understood this rush of "I need to get everything asap!!" - maybe I'm just a very patient person, but seeing how little benefit there is to having these mounts right away (bragging rights? Very poor bragging rights, though...) I have no issue to stop after 99 kills and wait it out. Seriouyl, the biggest issue seems to be that one inventory slot is blocked by these tokens...

But I had an additional question at the end. And we all know that most people who reach 99 stop the moment they get there so it's not working as expected. The only reason people seem to be going so far right now is because it's the last mount and there isn't really any more hard care content to expect. So during the regular patch cycles, this would not even have that effect.

Also, I definitely can't explain to you if you don't get the desire to get everything asap. It's simply a fundamental difference (which isn't even a bad thing). And it technically 2 slots because we often have to wait 2 full patches. As someone with 9 retainers space is also precious.
