Just saw this on reddit from the patch notes:
[*]-Mor Dhona (X:21 Y:8)
[*]-NPC: Wandering Minstrel
[*]-Players must have obtained the Aithon, Xanthos, Gullfaxi, Enbarr, Markab, and Boreas mounts.
My favorite thing EVER in a game I am paying for is not allowing access to content unless I am forced to freaking farm ex bosses I can't even beat once. Thanks again SE. You always make me love this game so much.

Such is the price you must pay if you seek the legendary Omnihorse.

Hmm... will she have to lay with a Voidsent first?
She would suddenly become much more interesting.

Hells with that.
I'm already planning on getting the Collector's edition of Heavensward to get my Griffon, and once I have a Griffon, I need no Omnihorse excecpt to provide my winged mount with a buffet.

While I understand your frustration, I have to point out that it is
not a bad thing to reward people who have/are able to put in such time.
None of us are entitled to be able to see or obtain every last bit of digital splendor from the game.
It's not about time - none of these encounters take time, really unless you're talking early on in the game's lifecycle (back when y'all had to learn stuff) and farmgroups pop up often enough with the exception of Titan EX (for obvious reasons).
It's finding the 7 people that aren't complete dingbats to do it with and then fighting off the REAL boss - RNG.
I doubt this quest will lead to anything massively significant, though.
Does it suck, yeah sure but eh I've made my peace with never doing coil/EXes.

This will always be the problem. And if you are new, especially as a tank, be prepared to face the wrath with those strangers. I did T6 with a pug in DF yesterday saying it was my first time and I will tell you people wanted to kick me before we even started. Others will say "grab some friends." Out of 86+ friends I have in my list, I would say maybe one or two would agree. Others are always "busy". So yeah, do I have a chip on my shoulder about endgame stuff? Yes. Becasue a lot of content is locked to me and can't be opened without the magical super combination of completing this this and that and oh you better have asolid group together who's practiced to do that too. And I don't have that. Rant done.

Think about it this way -- you go to an amusement fair that has a cover charge of five bucks. With that five bucks, you can make an attempt at a bunch of games within, and receive prizes, or passes to go on to other games in a different section of the park.Â
Stomping up to a ring toss stand and demanding one of the prizes because you paid the cover charge -- it won't really work! You'll have to play the ring toss game and hope you have the skill or luck (or friends!) to get it done. If you don't -- there are other games around that offer other prizes that you can take part in!Â
It sucks that you can't get THAT PARTICULAR PRIZE, sure, but you paid the cover charge, so you can keep checking out the other games to your hearts content, and collect the prizes from those!
Preliminary patch notes are up on the lodestone. This is easily the best part in them.

This kinda saddens me. ...since the Highlander /pose is pretty much the same thing without the radiant sparkling smile. (And I'm assuming we'll get the funny sound effects).

If I had Chachan do it for you in his Sunflower tuxedo as soon as I get it, would that make you feel better?

A Highlander IS, rather than does, even if he is not a Manderville.

I hope IF we get the sounds, only the poser can hear it. Otherwise it'd make for some pretty annoying spam x.x
Either way, it's nice that they keep putting poses in. THEY NEED TO KEEP IT UP
