I got into the Elsweyr event and decided to buckle down and grind through it until I got the parts for the new mount they're showcasing. Yes, I feel like they screwed it up some; why they made it an almost all black, boring looking gryphon instead of something glowy or colorful I have no idea. Even various flame colors would have made more sense, but I digress. My issue is that after collecting all the parts, I went to summon my steed... and it needs two more parts that aren't even available yet.
Now I know they kinda did this with the Indriks. You could only get certain ones at certain times of the year. But I believe you could get all the pieces for one in a single event as long as you participated in a timely manner. But now you have to wait for multiple events to come and go just to get ONE reward you want from a set of potential rewards? For example, *IF* they release the next two parts for the mount, then it'll take me three months to get one mount with nothing special about it other than how it looks. And there's nothing really great about it's appearance. And that's... that's frustrating.
Did it feel like it was too easy to get the rewards from the previous events? I feel like they could simply have made it so I could farm all the required parts for one 'special' reward per event, so I could come out of it feeling accomplished and looking forward to the next event. Am I wrong here?
