My understanding about trading in totems for mounts is that, for extremes, people have to wait until 2 major patches after the release of the extreme to trade totems for a mount. I don't really get why SE does that in the first place because it's not like making me wait half a year to trade in my 99 totems is going to keep me from unsubbing if I want to unsub.
But now that the chaotic has been released, the tokens are instantly tradeable for mounts. I know it's a different reward system but I don't get why that aspect would be different.
I'm thinking two conflicting things really because I would like to see the time restriction lifted for trading in totems for the extreme trial mounts but I also think there's a flaw in the reward system for Chaotic because the Dais mount is immediately tradeable for tokens and is tradeable on the market board. I think the structure of the reward system will make it so people who have cleared the fight will group together for reclears and then sell the mount to people who haven't cleared and there is not enough incentive for people who have cleared to help people who haven't cleared. Also, people who haven't cleared but want the mount can just buy it now and never participate in the content.
