I spent a lot of time wiping in DS to get all of the drakes in there. Once it's, "I'm level 90 doing 100k dps", easy the drop rate should be lower.
Very nice. It wont diminish the shear amount of purebloods and hand maidens there are already but making the more difficult to get is deffinitely a step in the right direction.

'bads' shouldn't get anything, they're 'bad'.
Currently there's nothing stopping a 'casual' from getting these mounts. Get a guild that does it, pug it, it takes like 50min to get the raggy mount, how casual do you want to be to not be able to spend an hour getting something you feel you deserve?

Really don't see how ppl say that these mounts are being nerfed to 1%, especially as the ICC mount has around a 10% drop chance, and the Yogg has a pretty high drop chance, between 30-40% or so.
The Lifebinder's will probably be nerfed to the same percentage of the Blazing Drake drop chance on heroic- around 25% or so. The Heroic Rag might be lower, 10%, but could be higher, 20%. However, it will most likely NOT be 1%, for either, and if a player runs them weekly come Mists, they should see it relatively often (About every 9-10 kills)
Agreed; considering how stupidly easy it is to find a group to get the hand maiden and especially to get the pureblood firehawk now (with openraid groups) i dont see whats keeping people from going out and getting it. Besides, of course, sheer laziness and the feeling of having everything handed to them on a platter (such is what cata brought to us).
Yes, i have both mounts now (just won the roll on the handmaiden this week, looted the pureblood months and months ago with my guild before DS came out) but i would say the same exact thing if i didnt have them. Just like i advocate bringing back server first only titles. (I dont have any of those)

if one drops you have it on all your alts what is the point in changing it.
level 60 monk on a pureblood.
Really don't see the point in nerfing the drop rate on such common mounts, but whatever, Blizzard makes no sense anymore with what they leave in, nerf, and remove.
I don't really care. Even though I am one of the last people in my guild who hasn't got the mount (since we took a break for some months) I don't mind it. I obviously hope I'll get it before MoP but I won't die if I won't. It's really not that I'd use it in MoP anyway with all the cool-looking mounts we're getting.
I know I've killed the boss in Cataclysm and that's enough for me.
This is the same as saying that i should get as much money every month as bill gates when i put maximum effort into my job , even though it could be cleaning the street.
OT: I've seen a blue post stating the drop rate will be nerfed at MoP launch , but they havent decided yet until how far. source: http://tinyurl.com/bq7bfay

MM head and Invincible were nerfed to 1% so I'd be surprised if they do otherwise here.
You're incredibly wrong, my friend. You have to pay the monthly fee to be able to play the game, you don't pay for loot and mounts and achievements. The fee is only for being able to play, for nothing else.
People like you are so annoying, not willing to put in any effort but expecting the most out of anything. Have you ever thought about that (also in real life) you have to do something to get something?
So stop whining and demanding stuff, sit your fat ass down and goddamn work for it. If you don't feel like doing that, well guess what, no mount for you. It's really as simple as that.

Its 15 bucks a month to PLAY. Not 15 bucks a month to get whatever loot you think you deserve.
Paying the same amount to play doesnt mean you get the same loot and mounts as everyone else. EVERYONE has the same opportunity, for the same price, to get the same loot. If you dont want to go after it, thats your fault.
No one should be rewarded for doing nothing. No one.

The Fact that the Ragnaros mount has 1% on normal leads me to assume the on heroic it might be a wee bit higher.
More people in raid higher % drop chance. Kudos to whomever posted this earlier in thread, I think you may be onto something.
He's probably slow and looked at wowheads % numbers which calculates the drop chance BEFORE AND AFTER THE NERF. Meaning it was recording data while it was 100% and even now while its 1%. It averages the 2 numbers, thats why it will look higher than it actually is. Blizzard themselves have said they are both a 1% chance now. DS/FL mounts will likely be the same, possibly slightly higher. Either way they will be very low chances.
