FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
I mean that the mount may just be collected to have it in her collection and this is already pretty cool, one should not be in a hurry to use/ride it if she doesn't like it.
My class mount (paladin) is a recolor of Invincible. Same gigantic mount, same long legs, I don't feel it, althought the more I look at it at mmo-champion, the more I don't dislike it (did they changed the model last I checked? Maybie.).
Oh boohoo, if it wasn't gated you would be in here making a bitch thread about how there's nothing to do any more.
Well, it's World of Gatingcraft nowadays...
So we do need exalted with this new 7.2 rep faction on all characters that wants there class order hall mount?

That's not entirely true, especially with the mission table for Legion, which requires order resources which cannot be attained with any of the mission table elements but with going out and playing the game.
Also, WoW is not the only MMO that uses this method. Mission tables are an evolution of long CDs, such as from professions and gathering. It is simply a more utilitarian way to do it. You can say there is no gameplay element, which is debatable, but it does support other gameplay elements within the game, very much so. It just takes the more mundane ones and squeezes them all into one simple, effective way to get all such otherwise mundane gathering and work into a mission table setup. It is an evolution of gameplay, not gameplay itself.

I have to do things in game to get other things. Blizz, plz fix.
Yes of course. Achieving a goal after a set amount of time is always better than gambling - except in cases where the odds are in your favor (=high odds to win the goal vs. a long time to obtain it). I just hate being gated with their weekly release of breadcrumbs. Why not just say "this questline will occupy you with 10 hours of gameplay" - and you can decide if you binge all of this time right away (for example, on the first weekend after release), or do one step after another day after day, because you only have one hour of game time per day, constantly.
Many of us already have other time constraints, like work hours, daily or weekly chores, friends to meet, other past-times. There is no need for gating. People with a compulsive disorder should not be taken as the default type of player.
All insurrection was was the illusion of content. "Let's make a questline that takes players 10 weeks to complete" (I can't remember how long it actually was sorry). In reality the entire quest chain could be completed in 2-3 hours. Blizz has to do something to keep players subbed. This is how they have to do it now cause they can't release content fast enough to satisfy players. Artifact Knowledge is the same thing. Start Research, wait x amount of days to complete research, start next level, wait x amount of days to start next. Realistically if you have 100k + Order hall resources you could get from AK 25-50 in 5 minutes... BUT... TIMEGATE TIMEGATE TIMEGATE. No other way to keep people subbed these days.
I'm fine with the content personally. I still stay subbed and i pay my sub with real money. $20 (Canadian) a month to play this game is pocket change and worth it to me. It would just be nice if they could create enough interesting content that they didn't need to time gate stuff but we all know that is impossible
Yeah well that's 2 different things, if someone really really dislikes that mount, then yea, they can skip it or postpone it, but that doesn't mean for everyone the mounts are considered dead weight only for +1 to collection. I thought what you said it sounded as if the mounts had some flaw in themselves so people shouldn't care to get them.
Liking is subjective. For example I really find the monk and mage ones cool, while many people complained on them. But if I get them, I'm sure I'll use them. Thing is getting these mounts on alts is gonna take long time.
In the same manner I don't even understand any more what OP meant. Title states "bootleg mount", since English is not my native language I had to google what's "bootleg" and it seems it means illegal, illicit, etc. Something like a smuggled mount. So no idea, must understand it wrongly, because the word doesn't seem to mean the mount is ugly or lame or broken in some manner.
I don't like all of the class mounts, but at least we have to admit they put more effort into it than some other mounts that are pure recolors, like the MOP timewalking one or the glory of the hero one (recolor of RAF mount, and soon we're getting RNG Farondis Cache drop another of these).
To the the knee-jerk "hurr complaining about having 2 work" idiots in the thread.
Eleven Weeks Is Too Long. NOT that there is SOME time gating, the degree is the problem here. 11 weeks, a little over two and a half months purely for a mount. 11 weeks of delays for what is most assuredly not 11 weeks worth of content. If it took 2 or 3 weeks then sure. But 11 is several kinds of retarded considering what the reward is and how utterly shit it is for a whole lot of people. I can think of perhaps two classes that might consider the mount a must-have (hunter, shaman) and one of those is clearly a low-effort rehash (hunter wolf-wyvern)
Wrath baby and proud of it
What Blizzard should do is have something like a player logs in and sees 3 options..
Option One: If you want everything handed to you on a silver platter then select this option.
Option Two: If on the other hand you actually want to play the game then select this option.
Option Three: Select this option go on we dare you.
If the player selects this option three they hear an evil laugh, as this option cancels their sub, deletes all their toons and uninstalls the game from their computer..

I feel like alot of the posters on this forum started playing in WOD, with the amount of whining, bitching, moaning and crying they do.

Jealousy, that's a new one
You're adorable, still a snowflake, but all so adorable.
In all seriousness, you think you're entitled to that mount because you've been playing it since Vin, you are literally the definition of a snowflake, thinking you're self entitled to something because of who you are and thinking it the game should (or should I say does?) revolve around you.
You're right I'll go play my Warlock, do the quests and be happy with my mount. I'll probably enjoy it too. My Warlock from Vin btw, the one I've sunk more hours in than I care to admit to, the one who I've raided on across the years, got my FoS's, my titles, from herald of the titans to of the black harvest, Legendaries, CM gear.
You might sit here, reply, try to be all superior and smug, but at the end of the day, the only difference between you and me is I don't think I deserve anything different than any other person playing my class purely based on time invested. You might think you're better than me, that's fine I really don't give a flying fuck, as far as I'm concerned I'm not better than you and I'm not better than Joy Blogs over there who started 5 minutes ago on his very first Warlock.
I could keep going on, but I've essentially proved my point. While I'm dying to see what you reply with, don't get overly excited about a reply from me. Purely, because I'm pretty sure what ever you type back, I'm positive I'll just be repeating myself
