    They really don't help themselves at times.

    Personally I see the difference between a shop mount and a request for pvp mounts every season.
    But hey, that's just me.

    Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
    But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.

    That kind of attitude Blizzard is losing you subs. What a terrible company.

    Yes, let's look at the cash shop shall we?
    Let's see... A Warlord's of Draenor mob in armour, a metal horse, and another Warlords of Draenor mob, with a skull pasted over his face.
    Hmm yes, definitely looks like they are spending a lot of time making these totally new resources, hmm, yes, indeed.

    It's really just another example of lack of priority and resource management from Blizzard. And it's perfectly okay under the ideals of capitalism in the MMO market.

    Which is about the same difference between pve achievement mounts every tier patch and pvp mounts for every season.
    But hey, I only play PvE in a game catered toward PvE play.

    Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?

    So what you're saying is that not only are they asking for money for these mounts but they are, also, poor quality?

    This is where Blizzard annoys me. I mean really, that comment was just sad when they are tossing more and more mounts up into the cash shop. Just another example of how they need to spend less time on chase shop bs and more on in game stuff we can even earn. Its just bs that people have made it come to this. They certainly wouldn't be making shop mounts if people weren't buying them.

    PvE mounts are usually similarly, just rearmoured (sometimes not even that) versions of models that were added for that raid.
    It would make some amount of sense for the PvP mount to just be a recoloured version though, there was a green firehawk that never actually became obtainable for example.

    Don't be such a greedy costumer geez. Blizzard is a business and wants to make as much money as possible as cheaply as possible.

    What's the deal with PvP mounts, I suppose I missed something..

    I assumed that someone spent 30 seconds every PvP season to make the new mounts, they just pulled up a color picker and picked a terrible color; probably some saving and deploying of assets somewhere, but that's probably all fairly automated.

    Meh, their priority is to make money, so they'd rather put "resources" into cash mounts, than put "resources" into free pve/pvp mounts, makes sense from a business standpoint, but the comment does make me laugh a little.

    I suggest that as part of their pursuit of profit at all costs they sell Holinka's computer, phone or anything he can use to access twitter.

    Well they will be making less money when people tired of this shit start to catch up!

    On top of that, the 4 racial mounts that require extensive rbg/arena play are retextures of models already used heavily (the human horse, the darnassian panther, the forsaken one... the other horde one don't hate me I don't look at these vendors often.)

    Edit: I decided to wowhead it, it's a wolf, don't hate me. Apparently they are all Vicious. Extremely Vicious. I bet Ray D. Tear fought bravely to bring just those four pvp mounts in before dying a heroes death.

    it is getting better and better, really.
    And I agree, why put valuable resources on free obtainable goods?
    They are better spend on goods which bring in money. Nothing surprising here. ;-)
