I'm fine with 99 totems, but I do wish the mounts were available with totems from release.

Many people I know, including myself, just don't bother with current EX beyond farming a weapon, because it seems silly to burn so much time on it when you can stomp it later with Echo, gear and a boosted droprate. I'd actually prefer to run more while it's current because at least there's some faint hint of a challenge, but it feels like wasted time.

Instead of having the mounts be pure rng at first, they could have the mounts cost 99 totems on release, then lower the cost to 50 on a later patch.
