Get to Your Choppa! - Claiming Your Mount

Hilarious if anyone resubs purely for this, then it's exactly the same as just buying it from the store for the sub price, only it let's blizz look even more "popular".

The fact that the shitty Horde bike looks far better in game than in real life leads me to think the Alliance one would have looked far better in game too. A shame really!
I'll have to login soon to stake my claim! My hordies will be riding this through Draenor!

I don't think many are dumb enough to pay $15 for a snowmobile with horns.

The people who don´t want to play anymore won´t magically be motvated to resub because of a mount. Those who are subbed get one for free. Stop being paranoid

there's nothing sweeter than the tears of butthurt wow players.

Fixed that for you because it is not usable for alliance characters, and since I almost never play Horde....

Bleh.

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.

It is idiotic to make that kind of campaign and then leave half of your players in the dust.

So... for example, if I create an horde character today and log in it I'll be eligible to receive the mount for free when WoD launches? Right?

PS: I still think they're gonna get the Alliance bike in-game as a purchasable item.

Only for usa horde players!!!!!

Introducing the NEW World for Warcraft game! World of Hordecraft, aaaaaaawww yeeeeeeah

hmm... is it worth resubing for whole month to claim it on my horde alt that i almost never play...nope

You know what sucks most about all this?

There is Alliance folks who voted because they found it cooler looking, but they now get shafted because it's Horde only.

That was the whole point, right from the start. I don't understand why people are whining about it now. They were very clear.

Maybe they should learn to read.

"only your Horde characters" -.- Screw that.

Or how to generate as much ill will as you possibly can amongst approximately 50 percent of your subscriber base. Such a stupid promotion.

This is what happen because loads of Alliance voted for the Horde chopper, now faction transfer or cry

I normally don't like to bitch about stuff online, though I have in the past, I still think this was a terrible decision. Why don't they just put both bikes in the game?

Sounds nice, but it's not reason enough to make me resub before WoD.

The factions are already imbalanced to the point where top end guilds faction change to horde because they have an advantage. I just don't understand why it's not something for everyone and something only for a select population. That's so biased and fucked up. Shit. That's down right racist.

It is widely agreed upon that the Alliance will have better racial abilities come WOD.
