First CC and now this?! as a store mount instead... a reward

[Duskane]

They've always added content in the game files before other things. Sometimes even by years. The Island Sanctuary ponytails were in the game files for literal years before Island Sanctuary.

Event sets are added sometimes 6 months in advance.

Shadowkeeper is being released along with Eden content. Releasing (or patching in) a Shadowbringers mount the same patch when BLU is going to be able to do Shadowbringers savages AND when previously they had gotten a mount for doing both 50/60 raids and now could do 70/80 raids... It's easy to see why people would believe it would be a BLU reward.

I'm aware but nothing of this calibre is ever added alone
even unreleased event items have achievements and quest associated with them and when they don't its either Vendor or Mogstation related

I'm not sure about the "tall tail" style, but the other one is Ardashir's hairstyle so it would have been added for him first. I'm not sure why they took so many years to implement it for players.

Most things added in advance are going to be activated within the next patch or so.

Now THIS is a perfect store mount!



Perfect size for your lalatato or something to laugh at for your big burly Roegyden or Hrothgar.

this announcement alone already killed some BlueEden statics motivations

If that's all it took to make them quit it's unlikely they would have ever cleared anyway.

Why that reminds me of that certain housing item that raised quite a racket on social media... it was a chair

Are they for real? giving us axolotl mount in high-end content then giving THIS as a store mount?

this announcement alone already killed some BlueEden statics motivations. it was literally perfect reward for a BlueEden but nope store mount.
i guess each expansion we'll see a boss as mount. can't wait for Proto carbuncle store mount announcement

Everyone knows what the true reward for BLUEden is:


Joking aside, I'm pretty sure they will give something better as a reward, especially after seeing many players getting upset about the Shadowkeeper mount.

So since its obvious that the true endgame in this game is glamour/mounts/minions, is this p2w?

[Xaphire]

Anyone that reported that it "may be a BLU mount" were doing nothing but speculating.

It doesn't even make sense for it to have been a BLU reward, considering only the first raid BLU raid achievement had a mount attached to it and that mount had nothing to do with either raid series.

The only reward for the second BLU raid achievement was a title and I expect the next tier to be the same.

People are delusional.

Probably because people complained bitterly about them locking a much-requested mount behind BLU Savage the first time around.

Damned if they do; damned if they don't.

what did you expect this is what SE does. Most people here find no flaws in what they do so why be shocked and surprised. Maybe lower your expectations of SE and Yoshi XD
