SE please stop making mounts and glams inaccessible

[Myrany]

They are getting a reward for it, great ilvl gear and titles and the ability to actually enjoy the content.
But yeah i get what you mean. Its not exactly something easy to rule a line and I don't really expect them to.
I suppose its just frustrating that they advertise things like the axolotl in a live letter, a fun light hearted mount riding on the island, only to later reveal its completely inaccessible if you can't do savages.

It would be rough on players who worked hard to get these things only for it to be now available from elsewhere, I wouldn't really want that to happen. It'd just be nice if heading forward they'd considered keeping future mounts like the axolotl to more accessible things.

I understand how you feel. It is frustrating for me too. The axolotl is the first mount I have been excited for since the ARR Extreme horses. Just unlucky this time around is all. I accept that.

No. The way it is now is perfectly fine. People who do the content get the rewards they deserve and people who don't do the content don't get the rewards. The experience of doing savage is made fun because of the fact that you get rewards that can only be gotten from that content.

[Ransu]

God forbid you're rewarded with cool stuff for clearing the hardest content.

Don't raiders deserve a cute mount, too?

My only wish for normal versus Savage rewards is having them swap dyeing and VFX. They can make Savage as shiny and with as many effects as possible. I just want the very basic function of not having to wear grey or black or white or glam over something if I want to wear something with color.

Axolotls are creepy as heck Idk why people want this mount so much, the less I see it around the better for me at least D:

They should make more mounts and glams to reward people doing things. Currently PvP Rewards straight out suck and there's very little reason to play Mahjong for example.

Considering that there are disabled players who are able to successfully tackle Savage while the content is current, how about:

No.

Content gets its assigned rewards, some of which are intended to be visual representations of content the player has completed. Those who want that specific reward need to do that specific content.

According to Lodestone, you were able to get Demi-Ozma. If you can get that, you'll be able to get the Axolotl at some point in the future along with the dyeable gear.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to say it's a skill issue on your part. I know different types of disabilities create different limitations (being disabled myself). But I don't feel turning special rewards into generic rewards is the right approach.

Thanks for noticing, I was incredibly proud of getting Demi-Ozma back then but that was before my condition worsened. Its also worth noting that dying in that battle does not cause the whole team to wipe. **i also wouldn't feel my achievement was worsened if Demi-Ozma wasn't the reward.
"Considering that there are disabled players who are able to successfully tackle Savage" - disability is a very wide range.

But I get your point about visual representations of content completion. The Demi-Phoinix seemed a decent reward choice for P4S given you fight that bird in P3S.

Putting a mount like the axolotl behind something more relevant like ocean fishing does not worsen its value or make it generic.

I agree. Change the axolotl to something else then put it in island sanctuary or something. Should of never been the choice to begin with.

Exactly. Looking at all the replies here though, it seems like Square Enix is assuming that a lot of people raid. But most people don't and the reason why it seems like a lot of people raid is because a lot of them are terminally online because most of them have no jobs. You can't clear Ultimate or Savage if you have a full-time job and it's aggravating they decided to lock a cute mount behind a no-life activity.
