Well as long as you don't abandon it completely untouched for months / years GMs should be able to fix any issues in case you get hacked. They respond fairly fast on that, at least they used to, my last encounters with hacked guildies / friends were expansions ago, I mean situations where someone purely innocent got hacked without their major fault. What I mean by major fault is for example an ex-guildie of mine who stopped playing during HFC and put a note on their wowprogress page "quit wow, gave away my account" and now in Legion I see he's back, rebuilding his old guild. I wonder how (or is it even him anymore).
What do you mean by not 100% rideable? They're all flying mounts and some of them pretty cool (subjective ofc). Some if not all of them have reused skeletons or animations but they're defo not some 10th boar recolor copypasta. Even the most unoriginal ones (yay warriors another proto drake) have model alterations to show they're something new.
Yeah, you don't "have to" use them in the world where people have 300+ mounts, but contrary to the new 7.2 "challenge" artifact appearance they were never advertised as something rare or exclusive. The recolours for maxing extra artifacts, yea, but the base one was never meant to be a badge of great accomplishment, rather something to compliment your class fantasy along the artifacts, class hall transmog set, etc.
As long the don't Patch them out after Legion etc. i have no problem to Grind all of them for all Classes/Speccs
The problem (their problem), is that some people feel obligated to accomplish every goal or waypoint Blizzard give them. The problem is confounded when that content is intended to require not only skill, commitment but time. So now their problem is not theirs; rather, the obligation is now disassociated and somehow Blizzard are to blame!
Crazy huh?
Most people are like, "wow, cool I have a long term project to work towards in wow". Serious altaholics are left bashing their head against their coffee-stained keyboards (like every expansion) but they love it -the massacists they (ahem, we) are.
I'm sure Blizzard want these mounts to be exclusive to 'mains', a reward putting in a lot of work on that class/spec; it's an homage to your efforts, and I think that's quite a tribute. So bring it on.

Why do you feel entitled to receive it the moment the patch launches?
It's supposed to be an item to show you resolve to you class and actually progressing into the story line,
The original Wintersaber mount rep grind (pre-nerf) would like a word with you.
