I told you so... 

Blizzard just being blizzard in 2024, nothing to see here

no more bragging rights.... feels bad man!

2 or 3 people talking to themselves on twitter sure showcases the entire community i guess.

They are recolored versions of the original mount and as someone who farmed some of the originals, I am happy the majority of players can enjoy an alternate version of these cool mounts. Also, MoP Remix would have been a massive flop if it weren’t for the mounts. Nobody should be complaining.

In my opinion that just means is less things I need to farm 😂. WoW has a large variety of things to farm.. now I can focus in other things.

I knew this kinda thing would start happening more often once the trading post started. That said, I wasn't one of those people who would farm for an item over 20 kills so was never going to be screwed over as hard as others. Basically, there was a point where Blizzard flipped the "nothing you own in this game means much" switch and I noticed it early on. It sucks, but when a company is desperate to retain players and create new avenues of monetization, it's bound to happen.

I mean they lowered the drop chance long ago, even a very short period where right after that change it was accidently 100% drop chance. Also its a rare drop, not like something that is earned through challenging content, merely rng. These people realize that there are ALOT of players that just killed SHA and got it on their first go right, any sense of pride that held up over time of them farming it knowing that fact would/should still hold understanding that there are those that just farmed a currency to buy it. That doesn't change anything unless the only thing you tie to the perceived value/prestige of a mount being a randomized drop chance, in which case just like those that killed it once and got that mount and it didnt effect your drive to "farm" kills to get it, this changed shouldn't either. We find value in the things we deem worth our time and attention, if you find value in the farming of a mount over a long period killed multiples of times for a chance at a drop, stick to it and tray not to let others "short cuts" belittle your enjoyment, it didnt before, try not to let it now.

The importance of having a cool mount is archaic. It became obsolete whenever players got access to almost 1000 mounts (if there are not more in the game) and half of them are recollors. People just found a new way to complain about something.

There's actually no point to farm mounts anymore cuz you don't know if blizzard is just gonna do another remix and make them buyable lmao.

I never grinded the mounts hard in retail, but they do feel cheap to me given how easy they were to get in remix. However, I am content with getting tusks. They required a bit more effort and it's only a (very cool) shoulder mog, and I hardly play plate classes anyway. I always felt that they were WAAAY too rare during original MOP, they should have been closer to 5% drop, somewhat like Thori'dal for example.

this is why ill never come back to retail. Every update, every new expansion since Legion, every new zone and grind, and everytime I log in, the game feels meaningless and lifeless. None of my favourite characters are even alive anymore in WoW.

I’m one of those people who is glad to have the mounts, and weirdly enough they mean just as much to have. I was trying to get these for so long it feels like I earned it. 😂Just a personal opinion.

It wouldn’t be a problem if the rarest mounts weren’t so cheap. Infinitely cheaper than upgrading gear.

It was never about getting the mount for those people, it was about ruining it for the people who did have it.

everyone feels this way...dont lie people

I liken it to beating a boss in a video game that just keeps wiping the floor with you because of cheesy or badly designed mechanics. Once you beat it, there's no feeling of satisfaction, only a feeling of "thank god I don't have to do that anymore." Some people like that scenario, some people don't.

My rng in this game is terrible, also not to mention always missing out on game bugs like when Evoker got a 100% drop rate on mounts… there’s a billion things to farm in this game so if I can grind for a couple things I’m happy. Not everyone has time to do all these things weekly on multiple characters just to get lucky!

I'm glad that I could buy them. Some like Huolon were impossible to get on retail with the competition. I'm beyond glad I don't have to waste 50+ hours of my life on getting them. The complete collection is the goal, not an individual mount.

that's implying they were ever cool in the first place, literal recolors of other existing mounts that don't require a slot machine to obtain, getting them from a vendor is still better

Yea the sense of accomplishment from one shotting a mob once every week for a couple of months... (or once if your lucky) for a mount that is overall kinda meh in a version of wow where there are nearly a 1000 mounts in it. Bronze was a great idea espeically for mount that was just a weekly farm that will likely sit in your mount tab to never be seen again after the first week

Except myself and others are glad to finally move on from farming these mounts in retail? It's almost as if a playerbase this large will have multiple dislikes/likes and differences in general. The event has been fun even outside of cosmetics.

1:52 you can't not... You think you do but you don't

"I'm a bit sad that my farm is over." Many collectors who farmed for years say otherwise. Don't get me wrong, it is cheap to be able to just buy something super easily. BUT, a middle ground can exist where the goal is guaranteed, but it takes time and dedication to get it. FFXIV handles this way better than WoW does. (They also probably could've made the rare drops more expensive and require the Bones of Mannoroth maybe?)

good change that we can buy it now :P

Buying stuff means I can move onto something elsw

I got all before Shadowlands and Love Rocket i dont See why that IS a Problem there are plenty of Other mounts to get i Play since bfa 8.1.5 and i must say after having 1044 Mounts its fine to make stuff easier there is tons of Other stuff which is by far worse to Farm and people dont even know, Most people anyway If they dropp or get something will Put new Goal or Stop(come Back later) For me i personally give Feedback only after obtaining stuff so Other people have IT easier but i See all this "Prestige" crying and hey i got First i worked Harder so you Not allowed to have IT, you need Work Same hard AS me , i dont know but your grandparents and parents would BE happier too If stuff would get easier in Future for you even If its Just obtain a Car or PC. And PvP people have Same mindset in wow only because this is Bad Game/Lobby for me i will AFK let everyone waste there time(why Not try best of worst Case) Like whats wrong with all of them

Its Joever

lol retail

Your trying to explain the TikTok generation why completionists don't like this. They are here for their dopamine hits and the 10 seconds high it gives them before moving on to the next shiny thing. Any real effort put in is too much and since they lack the capacity to actually think about anyone put themselves its pointless to even try and explain why this is bad. Its actually sad reading some of these comments when talking about a video game. Which is literally made to waste your time. Same reason why they can't understand why the "micro"transactions ruin the game. But yeah. This was it for me. Now I know I'm wasting my time and its better to just wait for another remix run or when they are on sale at the trading post. No point in grinding anything now since it will eventually be trivialized to give the ADHD junkies their fix...

Participation trophies for all!

The people who still swear by retail wow are in the same bucket to me as flat earthers. They're so far removed from reality, there's no convincing them.

people still play for carrots i stopped doing that when i was 12 and realized the best feeling was beating strong enemies in wow, thats how i never quit, evenif "the new pvp tier set elitè looks bad" CAUSE I DON'T A FK

Kind of like all the TCG mounts that they give away for twitch prime. Imagine having collected the TCG cards for years, and getting cool mounts from it. Only for it to be given out for free years down the road :(

Another problem is with HOW cheap they are. At first I thought they cost 380k, then I noticed they merely cost 38k. You know what? I need to run 1 SoO and 1 Throne of thunder and I can buy 2 mounts. This takes 1 hour in total. 1 hour… 2 mounts! Why dfq did they even buff Bronze gain now? The handling of this event has been a shitshow from the start. I only subscribed for remix, will stay now for cata classic and quit after firelands. No trust whatsoever in The War Within if this is how things are handled.

Experiment done. They were too cheap even for this event that is my main complain.

Nooooooo my pixels :(

Xaryu is still clueless about this lmao. Actually becoming a reactionary streamer with dogwater takes.

Xaryu you're not a mount collector so i don't think you know what you're talking about here
