Why must we wait 6 months to buy the Extreme mounts with Totems?

[Collin_Sky]

It's absolutely ridiculous.

[Khryseis_Astra]

Agreed… a lucky roll gets them immediately but if you grind out 100 clears you have to wait. It’s not like they’re not already in the game! I put in the work, now give me my wings!

[Jeeqbit]

Is rather pointless, because we all know they will make them buyable with 99 totems due to the formula, so many of us stop at 99 anyway.

[glitteringcosmos]

A flawed assumption that people will populate the instances if you can't just buy the mounts and stop running the content, but as Jeeqbit said, most people stop at 99 totems and still stop running the content, so.

Someone in another thread equated to getting 99 totems as "instant gratification" and I still think that's very silly. The people who get 99 totems are keepnig the content alive and occupying more Party Finders than the people who get their wings and stop running it altogether. I think the players who stayed the longest and reached the cap should be rewarded for their efforts in helping other people get their mounts.

I may be a rare case, but to me it is not about HAVING the mount but GETTING it. So, once I have the mount, it is no more interesting.
As long as I have it in my mind "I have a chance to get the mount!" and the battle is a good design since 7.0 release, I truly enjoy it....
In case of Zoraal-Ja, I was happy I got the mount after 15x, I disliked the fight, somehow it was too hard for my slow brain... However,
Right now I am doing Queen and have 80 tokens, soon I have enough to get 99x to exchange in a year. But it is okay to me. I love doing it.
In meanwhile I am more motivated to get the crafting materials, weapon boxes, just to see my "RNG!!" game I play with my friend.
Sometimes it feels "Oh, I will be able to exchange it!" And then realise it is half a year later, by the time I am able to exchange, I forgot.
This is what drove me to no longer feel the need to "HAVE" it, more so, I drive my desire by "am I lucky today!? Let's give it a try!" feeling.

Just make us able to buy them once we got enough totems for it, everything else is silly.

And Yoshi P and Company should be able to grasp that too

I agree. Also calling running an EX trial 99 times "instant gratification" is absolutely nonsensical. On the contrary, that's endurance.

[Kuroka]

Because we dont deserve em. Face it, we either grind our souls out a 1000 times if needed or wait.

To me every mount i had to buy feels tainted... its just not the same.

[PaulusHamsteru]

It's beyond stupid that they thought this was acceptable.
