Eric Musco was really engaged in the community yesterday. Besides the Faction change post we wrote about earlier, he also updated the community about the PvP vs PvE Mounts Philosophy: 2a6h4z
Hey everyone,
I know there has been a bit of frustration from our This means that although right now, only some of the best Operations players in the world have these mounts, in time they will become more accessible as new content is released.
I hope that clears up our approach to putting mounts in the game, and explains a bit about how we handle exclusivity around those mounts.

One point that Eric brought up that I really like:
PvE mounts will be exclusive to and will be based on the Operation. Since PvE content will not leave, those mounts will always be available. I am a PvP’er and I can imagine some time down the road doing an operation just for the mount. I would obviously wait a little while (wait until gear improves) and then run it later. Right now I just don’t have the gear for a NiM DP, but when they release a new set or two, it won’t be that hard to get DF gear and be able to complete it (or whatever gear it actually takes). Think of how hard it was to get campaign gear way back when…. now they practically give that stuff away once you hit 50.
