Basically, you can see the sort of compromises that BHS required.
EU: Technically you "can" earn all the passive mounts in-game, but getting the best one requires collecting 27 unique random items via a RNG box (letters A through Z + one symbol). The RNG box can be earned in game from dungeons (rarely), or bought on the cash shop. So, practically speaking, it'd be near impossible for anyone to get all the items they need without buying (and if they were going to buy, they'd be better off just buying the regular lootbox).
NA: You can't earn the royal version in-game. The collection process is still RNG, but doesn't require a large collection of unique RNG items -- just one set of tokens to earn chance boxes. There's a sort of anti-failure mechanism (failing gets you tokens to get a box with a higher chance), but even then it isn't guaranteed. There's no way to buy the tokens on the cash shop (which is probably why the royal version isn't in this mix)... but in the end, buying the mount off the cash shop (or from someone else who did) is still going to be the more efficient way. Plus, with account versions of the dragons (no buffs), people who just wanted to get dragons without lootboxes will just do that and be less driven to go through all the work.
In the end, none of the methods really accomplish what EME was originally wanting to do that was rejected... but that makes sense because that's why BHS rejected it. BHS clearly wants the passive to be an incentive that drives people to the cash shop one way or another. And that isn't what the players here wanted, and EME knows that, but this was all they were allowed to do. All they can do now is take the reaction they're going to get (which they knew they were going to get -- as someone else said, read between the lines) and send it to BHS management so they're aware the players are mad.
sigh...
Severely disappointed you decide to release the P2W dragons without the F2P Dragons at the same time. This whole [filtered] could have been avoided had you chosen to wait at which point you could decide to just not release any of them and told BHS to go [filtered] itself, which you still should. Tell them to go get more money from Korea or Start Putting out our builds first. Now as opposed to it being strictly BHS fault we don't get dragons at all the blame is 100% on your own heads no matter how much you try and push it off on BHS.
The only solution now is refund all the P2W dragons Remove them from the Store then give everyone a free P2W dragon as a [filtered] you to bhs because you can.
Sigh...

You farm like crazy for a chance to drop the dragon or you get another token where you need to farm more of those tokens and jump in a another rng.
You didnt even put Lilith normal and DFHM. Hope you guys do something better next time, even EU has a better event for dragons regular AND royal ones. This time i wont believe this is BHS's fault.
Thank God I dont care about these dragons anymore. All I want is my sweet Sorcerer Revamp.
Its combat is nothing close to tera's.
No, they really can't.
At this point I sense that might not even matter.
