Series level xp increases are pointless

Having to do a late grind to get the mount

You dont have to. Thats a you problem that you waited 4 months till the last day

Yes, because playing a game mode I absolutely hate is something I really look forward to.

Again, you dont have to

To get the mount, of course. You know, before it goes away forever.

You dont need that reward. Its a reward for ppl that enjoy doing PvP. Again, its a reward for ppl who enjoy doing PvP. Nobody cares if ppl who dont enjoy PvP want that reward too. Or are we gonna cry about ultimates too?

As others told you. If you dont enjoy grinding PvP at the last second. Do sometimes match a day if you have nothing better to do. You will get all rewards sooner that full tome gear.
