Get to Your Choppa! - Claiming Your Mount

Your votes for Azeroth Choppers were counted, and one faction’s war cry roared loudest: the Horde bike will now be turned into a mount in World of Warcraft! Anyone who logs in to the game between now and September 30, 2014 will automatically have their account flagged to receive the Horde chopper upon the release of the upcoming Warlords of Draenor expansion. Everyone can (and should!) claim their chopper by logging in now, but as a reminder, only your Horde characters will be able to mount up and take it for a ride.

    Love it, expecially with the briljant PR too with the whole voting thing and the chopper show. I respect that kind of marketing PR. Great example to get engagement from your audience.

    I really don't get the outcry of players. People knew in advance how this would play out, winner takes all. If the alliance mount was voted best, probably some of the horde playerbase would've be like this as well though. What i'd like to say to them: "don't be such a bad loser and be a good sport". You can always roll a horde character to just 'get it' for your horde toons.

    Theres more outcry because whiners think blizz is supporting the horde and the horde bike only won because it was rigged etc.

    Might be true yes, still just sound like bad sports with that 'conspiracy' theory. Ah well, whiners will always whine.

    As a horde player I thought getting another trike was redundant plus the alliance bike looked way better in my opinion. That's why I voted for the Alliance even tho im playing horde.

    Oct/Nov/Dec equals Q4 sales, so they wanna boost Q3 sales.

    Also, they could've made it account wide indifferent from faction.. fail.

    Now it's time to buy some game time.

    In-game version of this bike seems better than the real one.

    And a giant collective "meh" was heard from the alliance side.

    Seriously though tbh the horde bike was better and had a lot more going for it. Doubt ill ever ride it but then again ive 140 odd mounts that i never ride aswell ^_^

    Is this a permanent beast?!

    What? Only Horde can use it? That sucks, I hoped that I at least could use it as an Alliance too. : I

    And doesn't that count for Horde having one extra mount then? Wasn't Horde raging on having less mounts then Alliance and all?

    Ah well, this contest was asking to explode in Blizz face from the beginning so lol

    They should let Alliance be able to use it too. If Alliance could take a Kor'kron wolf from SoO, why not say that they beat the crap of some Horde and stole there bikes?

    Gnomie stole my bike!

    I don't know why so many people here feel compelled to flat out lie about this.

    Sad day for #Equality.
    The olympics must be the holocaust of equality then, huh? All those people competing and only one winning the gold. Such a horrible tragedy.

    Nobody remembers it because it was never said outside your ridiculous imagination.

    They made over a billion dollars last year. I'm sure they'll be drying their tears with it just thinking about your $15.
