Goobbue Mount

I don't have one, but I think these mounts should stay specifically for 1.0 or Legacy 1.0 people since it's one of the very few things that distinguish them from new players - aside from the back tattoo to indicate you're a survivor.

It would be nice, however, if they did allow ARR people to obtain it though. Hard to say at this point though since the game is new and needs errors fixed.

For the few people asking why someone would care about this mount when the game has "so many" other mounts to choose from. When was the last time you played another mmo? This game is severely lacking in mount options compared to pretty much any mmo that includes mounts that has been released in the last decade. There are only 7 mounts currently. Two that everyone gets from story mode. Two that you get when you spend real world money. Two that are unavailable to anyone who didn't play 1.0 at the right times. And one that is job specific. That is extremely lacking by modern mmo standards.

I personally think exclusive items should stick to items that are variants of regularly available items, rather than completely unique items with nothing even remotely similar to them. A rare chocobo color? That's perfect. But a unique mount of a very popular and prominent creature without anything remotely similar available? I think mmos generally stay away from that for good reason.

With every whiny post about not having their own gooby mount, I like mine more and more!

If you go to best buy and say "Well i saw you guys had a one time ever half off TVs sale last year, but i just heard about it so you should do it again" it probably wouldn't work out in your favor. Everyone had the chance to play once 1.0 became a good game, people chose not to because of its state at launch. This is the price you pay for turning your noses up at 1.21+.

Consider this. Guildwars 2 gave bonus items to people who were account holders in the original game, did they ever make those bonus items available to everyone? no, because that would defeat the purpose of an exclusive bonus.

so people don't have to have their noses rubbed in it when they play

yall are just jealous, deal with it, not anyone elses problem
admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery

How about in months to come, SE put on a special 2.0 event for all those that missed out on getting 3102, 1017 and 90000, because we all know how frustrating it can be to want something you can't have Q.Q

God not this debate again, Seriously MMO players are the biggest group of epeen nerds there is. Sure tieing my shoe was hard when I was 5, but it's easy now and I don't care if it doesn't forever stay a challenge to be a testament of my abilities for all time. Thats honestly how MMO players are. I honestly don't care, make it available. The game is basically brand new again.

It's not about e-peen, it's about a promise. Part of the incentive for paying for 1.0 was the promise of Legacy Status, reduced subscription fees, and an EXCLUSIVE gobbue mount. We paid in money and time for something that was promised to be exclusively ours, and exclusively available to us in 2.0.

Honestly, the 2.0 community is garbage anyways, if these forums evidence anything, and the majority of these new players are exactly the types of people who deserve NOTHING.

Just what this game needs - *more* people with Goobue mounts. I *hate* those things. The single biggest cause of "covering up the NPC so that no one can access him or her" in this game is people on their massive Goobue mounts. It got extremely annoying at times in 1.0, particularly when it was pretty obvious that someone was doing it just to be annoying.

No more Goobue mounts.

I've already talked about them here. I've said that being notified when the mount is removed beforehand as warning is not the same thing as a promise of exclusivity or a promise they won't reuse the skin.

Yes, it was no promise. It was a statement.
Don't expect it come again if SE already said a clear "No"
