Darn I had really hoped you'd left the forums.
Personally? I would very much like the first animal mount in the game should be a reward for legacy level 50. The CM is bloated with items that should have been in the base game. Better yet, Founders should get the mount, or subs from the first year. Something, anything NOT Cartel Market. There needs to be effort, not simple buying things from a store.
My prediction, this will be the new "refer a friend" mount.
