In this case, the player got the game back at launch (sept 2010) and played for a few days and got his archer to at least r10, Then there is a long absence until late Aug 2012. Gobbues were removed on the 13th of August, he seemed to resume playing around the 27th, so it is quite likely that he completly missed the notification and genuinely was unaware that the Goobue was gone.

So all of you who made snide comments, look before you speak next time.
Wow. I didn't realize my ignorance would upset so many people. My apologies, but Magnesium02 is exactly right. I've posted before about how impressed I was with the FFXIV community, and Magnesium02 restores my faith.

Goobue and Legacy were for players who continued to be loyal to the game, which clearly does not apply to you.
Seems to me you sorta missed the mark of your introductory sentance... :P OR...I could just be the one being sarcastic. I'll let you choose.

After I read all of the responses, Amy's had me actually LOL.

In short, there's a great deal of information to have to catch up on, as sooo much has changed with the game. And having seen players ride these around in game, I was interested to know how to obtain one. I was in the middle of trying to race to 30 when I came across a post that suggested they were no longer available, so I thought the quickest way to find out was ask...my bad. Really, though; my question was answered above and beyond, and for that I say, "Thanks, all!"
