    I love this idea, iirc they gave whm and tanks mounts to incentivise people to play support roles as most would shy away from, but now since we have “enough” of each role they could totally give each class their own mount!

    Always had the impression that the job specific mounts were introduced because their was a lack of people actually playing the jobs. But yeah, at this point every job should at least get one.

    IMO, it is to encourage people play tank more. The problem is that SE sets the grind so easy that people just do whatever less than one minute unsynced.

    In any case, I want to see more chocobo bardings too. There are still many classes that don't have their class-themed chocobo bardings.

    Just give us the fae wing and let us fly with that.

    Our fae wing fashion accessory already flaps when we jump down, might as well make us actually fly.

    1.) The idea of the tank achievements + mounts/titles was to encourage people to play tanks in a time when we had a tank shortage that was not attributed to tanks being massively boring.

    2.) The fact people just do Deltascape 3.0 (Normal) as an 8-man group to farm through these achievements defeats the purpose of these achievements (not sure if all are affected). I have no respect for people who do this.

    I dont think they are doing it to get your respect, I think they just want the tank mount which can only ever be an achievement of endurance, not of skill.

    Let me rephrase my choice of words then, since you liked to cherrypick that phrase.

    I think the tank achievements were a good idea to encourage tank play in duty finder or duties that were in need of tanks. I also think being able to "endure" them by spamming the easiest duty available was a bad choice.

    Luckily we have no issues now so it isn't a problem, but it is objectively a bad design choice.

    Add.:
    "I have no respect for X" was merely an expression I used to underline my disdain for this being possible. Im well aware noone cares about me.

    I don't know how doable this is, but I'd kill for a BLM mount that makes you ride whatever staff you're using like a broom

    You can always give unsolicited advice, it's always morally correct

    You could also just pick that one up from the Online Store.
