Why would they make it an 'exclusive'reward if any CH can have one for free (or anyone with a CH friend), without having to evenpre-order (or even buy, given that someone with RotW could go tame it then trade it to a non-RotW person)the expansion?

Another way to look at it:

- In JTL, you could still play the game without buying it, however you could not own a flash speeder. It was not craftable (did not exist as a schematic that could be learned or acquired), therefore it was not available to anyone who did not pre-order the expansion.

- the veractyl will be similar. It will not exist in the wild, because the planet it is native to will not exist in the game. By not having it exist in the wild (or at least be untameable), it thereby remains an 'exclusive' item.

The only way we could get it otherwise if somehow they decided to give BEs a schematic to make creatures using the veractyl skin. And I find that highly unlikely, as it would have been mentioned in some way in the promotional materials.

I think people's optimism at the vague info is misguided. With the devs, has it ever, I mean EVER, been thatsomething vaguehas worked out in favor of the optimistic interpretation? Seriously think about it. Assume the worst and plan for it. If everyone gets to have one and it's a tameable anyone can go get, what's the harm in having pre-ordered just in case? The only reason fora CH not to pre-order is if they don't want the expansion at all. But hoping that you can not pre-order it and still get the new goodies is not realistic.

Being upset at the devs' decision-making won't change reality. Either you play by the rules and get it however you can, or you quit in frustration. We all know nothing we say or do will change their minds.

For me personally, I'm going to pre-order because I don't want to take the risk. I want to try out the expansion anyway and now I have incentive to pre-order it instead of buying it off the shelf on release day. The money isn't the issue. However, depending on how things shake out with the CU/RotW, I may still quit in frustration- and how the handling of this 'exclusive' mount is done, will no doubt play a part in that decision. Butfrustration about how it may play out negatively, won't stop me from pre-ordering and finding out.

Just out of curiosity, what's the native planet of the veractyl? Also, judging from a posted physical description of the veractyl and pictures of toys on various sites i've seen, it seems to be very similar to the boga

They still should make this creature tamable, even if it not on it's native planet, they oviously are breeding on the wookie home world.

I found a quest to get an egg and then raise your own, but it also says you need to have downloaded the game from online.

This quest would give you a level 65 versus the free level 10.

Hopefully they will change this, for a Master Creature Handler not to be able to tame a creature that can oviously be mounted does not make sense.
