Complaining over a gift, is quite a feat to achieve. lol

Well, it kind of DOES matter, precisely because not everyone will get it if they really go with whatever faction wins.

I have 11 90s and they are all Alliance and on a single server.
So if Horde wins that means I have to play one of my 85 Horde characters on a seperate server to ever see/use the mount. Not complaining about a free mount, but it's kind of a dick move to give the mount to half the playerbase, simply because they decided to play that faction.

I've seen similar things to this before, but here is just a summed up list of how unsatisfiable the WoW community (or any large customer community really) is as a whole:

If Blizzard cured cancer, people would complain about nerfed tumors.
If Blizzard created world peace, people would complain about missing world PvP.
If Blizzard ended world hunger, people would complain about the decreased difficulty of living and catering to casuals.
If Blizzard successfully colonized Mars, people would complain about phasing out Earth.
If Blizzard discovered cold fusion, people would complain that coal needs buffs.
If Blizzard successfully gave 10 gigabit fiber connections for FREE to every human being on earth, people would get nostalgic for lag.

If Blizzard created a raid tier with 4 different non-linear raids and 34 different raid bosses, people would complain that they were forced to raid too much to clear each week.
If Blizzard created a raid tier with 5 bosses and no trash, people would complain that the raid is too short and they have to raid on alts to fill time. (Sound familiar?)

If Blizzard gave every WoW player a Ferrari for Christmas, people would complain that A. They like <insert other car> better and B. Why does Blizzard not care about <insert other holiday>.
If Blizzard made WoW free to play but kept the game the exact same, people would complain that they are letting all the casuals in.

If Blizzard paid for the college educations of every highschool grad in America, people would complain about being 'forced' to go to college.
If Blizzard paid for anyone who got a 3.5+ GPA in college to go to grad school, people would complain that they are only catering to those with time to devote to their education.

Should I go on?

I guarantee you there is not a single thing Blizzard can do that will evoke no measure of complaining from the community, simply because it is impossible to make a decision that millions of people will whole heartedly agree with. It's not just a problem unique to Blizzard, although I have to say their version of it may be the most entertaining.

Longer episode by a couple of minutes with some actual bike stuff, much better but too much time devoted to "it's cold in NY and warm in CA"

So the 5 week timeline, first four episodes were week 1? This is "half way"

From what I remember of American Chopper, 2 of the weeks will be paint and powder coat I think, so it's highly unlikely they'll show much from that stretch of time.

This episode was considerably better than the previous ones. Longer, less fake TV drama, and it showed off a lot of progress on the choppers.

The Horde trike is looking killer.

I kinda liked this one as opposed to the other episodes which were just fake drama all the time.

We actually got to see the bikes and they talked about them. I like how they're looking so far.

This is sort of making me want to stop coming to mmo-champion. I know it's wow related and there's not much wow news, but really?

Having caterpillars for the alliance bikes rear looks really puny compared to the horde bikes pair of caterpillars... Think a regular wheel would've looked better :/

I agree with others who have said, it's pretty unlikely they'll only give it to one faction. Even if they do, they'll make the other available either through the shop or after a bit.

My reasoning: The show already took place weeks/months ago, we are seeing it unfold over the course of weeks after the whole thing took place and the bikes were already built. They did some production on the webisodes but they are so short that could be done in a couple weeks. They used the in between time to already design the mounts for the game, they've already built or are building BOTH. They are a business, they wouldn't bother paying for the construction of and the in-game design of two mounts to only release one.

The bone coloured tusks shown at the end look sick!

More episodes like this please!

Yeah, the treads conflict with the bike's streamlined design.

I can see what they were going for with the lobstered steel, so when the bronze filigree is applied, hopefully it'll come together more. The problem is Blizzard doesn't really do the lobstered armor look. However, if it fits together well and has the appearance if a single piece of armor, I think it'll work.

Also, those of you speculating about how many more episodes are left: three. Eight total. It says so right on the official site.

best content blizzard has ever released! I LOVE IT MORE OF THAT

Maybe they shouldn't keep trying to cater for everyone then in their MMO.

srsly who writes those scripts?

All the reality BS aside... That horde bike looks awesome.

Horde bike best bike, no doubt about it. ^^

Bikes are looking really good, I know what they're going for with the Alliance bike, but it's certainly
not quite there with it.
Horde bike though... from that last shot of it, a few splashes of red and black, and hang a severed
Night Elf skull from the side- Perfect.

They are just doing the ´vote´ for drama. Both bikes will be in the game free, but probably the winner will go first.

I love the show and the bikes so far, but I wonder to what extend those things will be drive-able. Usually OCC creates bikes which both look awesome and drive-able. But if those bikes are going to use tank tracks, wouldn't they be super slow, hard to steer and gasoline-guzzlers?

This show is made of asperger dreams and midlife crisis. It's cringe-worthy, but whatever, at least someone's getting paid for this aberration and putting food on the table at home.

You could go on, almost endlessly I suppose....
Nice list though. Kudos.
