So I grind my way through trying to clear, at least enough times to get the glam gear. When this content dries up those rewards are going to skyrocket, and be out of reach for most players.

It’s not so much that they gave CAR a hairstyle, though I agree with those who say it’s disappointing when we get so few of those, and so rarely. For one thing, it’s the fact that it’s so hard to obtain, because the content is hard enough to make coordinating 24 people to farm undesirable, especially as first-timer bonuses start to dry up, making the price continue to rise for those that would rather just buy it. But the main issue is the hairstyle doesn’t even go with the raid… if they had made the Cloud’s or the Stygian’s hair the hairstyle reward, I don’t think you’d hear as many complaints. But it’s a long hairstyle, which is rare enough, with ribbons and flowers in it. It doesn’t match the content. There was some muttering about the P12S mount too, but at least that was connected to the lore of the raid environment.
