btw...

didn't upgrade my account to CE, thus... no kitty mounts and other exclusive minion.
did buy a physical CE, but it was for PC since I don't have PS3, and thus... no kitty mounts either.

and back in 1.0:
didn't have time to manage a White Raven - Hard win, missing out that powerful accessory.
didn't manage to clear all that craft/gather story quest, left wondering how they turned out.
and some other things I missed.

so I guess what I'm trying to say is... it's just a gobbue. Can still adore it even if it's not as mount anymore. lol
This other whole new content gonna have many... many more rewards.
