Indeed. Only PvPers would project upon the rest of the gaming community their own elitism in that they think others would cry as much if something was not exclusive to their preferred content. I've been gaming a long time, and one unalienable truth is that the hardcore PvP gamer is the biggest QQer in the overall gaming community.

It's OK, there won't be another "Las Vegas Mardi Gras" Rancor mount, so you can rest assured you'll still be one of a very special, exclusive group able to ride that thing around fleet burning everyone's eyes.

Not only did they say IMMEDIATELY (as in the same day as the PVP reward announcement) that other versions of rancor mounts would be coming to the CM and other parts of the game, but it is ridiculous for anyone to have assumed that the rancor PVP reward meant that there would some lockout on any other types of rancor mounts being introduced to the game. How many types of tauntauns are there? How many types of varactyls are there? How many types of dewbacks are there? We just got a bantha mount and there's an orobird one coming too....won't be long before we get more versions of those two creature mounts as well. BW never announced the PVP rancor mount as being the only rancor mount ever to be in the game and it's absurd that anyone thought that would be the case.
Speaking of which I'd like a black Bantha with some white hair on top of the head to make it respectable but yet look bit of frightening, mysterious...

I agree. No reason for him to have stereotyped an entire continent.

Yeah, I suppose, you've got a point, what's ugly to some, is amazing to others, and for me the brown one is icky. As long as this game relies on a cartel market to help it along, there isn't going to be anything exclusive to anyone group for long, in my thinking.

Im ok with that. A way to get it in game other than GTN, was to purchase it with coins. I think that is the way it should be with most items on the market.

Just my view. I do understand the view that some folks have about exclusivity....but I think that something that benefits the game should take precedence.

The pvp rancor is a mark of shame anyway. So many people exploited the system to get it, it makes you look like a fool for using it.

I have the PVP Rancor and I have used it once on the day I got it, it looks like ****. I will be more than happy to grab the new one, which actually looks like a Star Wars beast.

BW really need to get a grip of making these "exclusive" rewards actually look like something people might want to use.

If BW put a colored variant of the NiM OPs mounts of the CM the forums would explode. Full stop.

The fact that NiM OPs have had exclusive mounts for up to 2 years going back to EC and PvP couldn't even get past 45 days with their exclusive mount is so obviously telling about WZs role in this game.

BW wouldn't even dare consider putting a color variation of Wings of the Architect into the game at any point in time.

If this really isn't that big of a deal, then explain why color variations of Wings of the Architect are not being released simultaneously with the color variation of the Rancor.
But they already have... there are plenty of NiM mounts on the Cartel Market...

As for the wings of the architect... well they ARE pretty theme specific.
But I have no doubt at all that we will be getting another jetpack mount in the CM sooner or later.
