Goobbue Mount

[moizeus]

Just like legacy can't be obtain. I think the Gobbue shouldn't.

As a 1.0 Goobue owner... everyone needs to stop being so damned precious. It's a mount - which is just a differently coloured chocobo. You didn't have to do anything special to obtain it, except get a level 30+ job and speak to an NPC. It wasn't exactly an 'achievement'. So to all those saying "No, it's my mount and you can't play with it..." Grow up. If SE decided to add the Goobue again, good for them, and i hope it brings lots of new 2.0 players, and 1.0 players who missed it pleasure. Now stop whining and enjoy the game.

Actually, it doesn't 'work on both sides', simply because people are allowed to 'want it'. The real question you have to ask, is:

"What harm or negativity does it bring to the game, or the community by allowing people to have it?"

The Answer - none, it provides no advantage, it required no skill or effort to obtain, it is purely a cosmetic mount. The slippery slope of "If they get this, they will want raven/discount/blahblahblah" is a ridiculous argument, and people have already pointed out the fallacy in this, elsewhere in this thread. However, by not allowing it again, you create this divide and threads like this.

Again, as a 1.0 Goobue rider, I support this coming back to new/old players again. Simply, because it will do no harm, and it will stop others being so damned precious about a mount.

SO i must be wrong that i saw many thread about people complain to be able to get legacy status again ... and now gobbue .. ..we will see in future thread.

Wow. lol.
Who cares? When SE eventually releases it's item shop.
Goobbue will probably be available for the low-purchase of $4.99 with different colors.

[Govalon]

I don't care if other people can have the mount too. I have my lifetime discount and that is the only reason I kept playing 1.0

[EDIT] Okay, not quite the only reason. I enjoyed playing the old version too :s

What about the seasonal items? Or the White Raven? Should they be also obtainable again?
I see Goobbue as a reward from a seasonal event. You missed the event, you missed the reward.

The Goobbue was promised as a one-time reward. If SE bring it again, people would expect it with all other one-time rewards. And they would scream, whine and complain if all the other one-time rewards remains one-time rewards and they would point to the Goobbue.

What SE can bring is another mount (not a Goobbue) as a one-time reward.

We have four seasons in the year, they come around each year. So why can't it come around again? Want to 'keep it in the lore' - our trusty minstrel friend escaped during the calamity.

A lot of what i am seeing is people on both sides being whiney and childish about the mount -

"It's our mount, you can't have it"; "You missed it, tough luck buster"; etc. - To those people, grow up - don't be spoilt and learn to share, it detracts nothing from you if others get it.
Equally, there are those without it who are not requesting it, but crying for it. Again, to those people grow up. Crying and whining is no basis for reward.

However, there are plenty of people - both those who have the mount already, and those without - who support the idea of it being re-released in some format, and can support it in a mature fashion, because we realise that it is a game. A cosmetic mount, for a virtual world online game. The simple fact is it will do no harm to re-release it to players old and new. Put it in a limited time frame again if it makes you feel better, but please stop being so childish and possessive over it.

You appear to be confusing fact with opinion.

You don't feel it will do any harm. Others disagree. Personally, I feel it would harm the trust between the developers and the community if they state something will be a one-time only offer then offer it again. There are those that may have subbed that month specifically to get the item. I actually know a couple that did.

If they can't trust that this will be one-time only, how about legacy benefits, could we then trust that they won't be given away again?

Or the CE items that people paid for a digital upgrade to, could we trust that they won't be made available in the near future for free too?

Offering perks that were specifically stated as a one-off, limited time deal a second time is a damaging precedent to set.

Opinions are not facts.
