I figured it would’ve been neat if you got the skyscale once it grows up and then a unique skin for completing the entire collection. That skyscale hatchling could’ve been a reward too, backpack or something. I can have a huge oversight with this idea but felt it’d be a positive as people suggested shrugs That is actually something I mentioned in my post before I edited it. I would be more than willing to do all the excess bells and whistles if we had gotten a reward for it. (AND MAKE IT OPTIONAL, ANET!!!) A title, a hatchling backpack/glider skin, a skin for the actual mount.. there is so much that could be done. If I had the option to do the bare minimum and not get "bonus rewards" and just the basic mount, that'd be just fine! But the fact you have to do ALL of this and only get a mount with one dye slot it's like.. why? The way they handled the roller beetle acquisition was spot on, IMO. Little to no gold sink, simple collections that don't feel grindy, and an engaging story. What we got here was an engaging story that was covered with excessive grind, a pointless timegate, collections that require going over the same map a gazillion times (an exaggeration, but seriously, who thought the scales + eggs + sick skyscales + et cetera which were all placed in the same general area yet you had to keep going back and forth was a good idea???) Like, I was down for the whole "raising your hatchling skyscale" experience, and in that case I felt the timegate was justified. And imo the timegate itself between collections wasn't that big of a deal? like I said, I was willing to do everything (I'd complain about it sure, but I would've done it) up until I heard about the saddle.
