I applaud your conclusions. Just refute people's arguments with something other than insults and implications that they just want the mount handed on a plate for running the boss once.

    Also, irony in bold. Aparently you do care enough to so vehemently defend the drop rate. Telling people to accept it being just a mount and moving on, when you cannot accept that some people consider the drop rate too low, once again, for a two weeks-only thing. Blasphemy, I say.

    Are you actually going to type out a single post without calling me, or anyone else, childish, entitled, or both? Because that seems to be all the argument you've got going, if that can even be called one.
    Where did I defend the droprate? Where did I say "THIS ITEM NEEDS TO BE SUPER RARE BECAUSE X" my entire argument has been that an arbitrary item's droprate is arbitrary. I don't care if they up the drop rate, i really don't.

    I do like that some items are super ultra rare, I think it makes the game more interesting, but that is just my opinion and I really don't care what blizzard does with things like this because it doesn't really impact anything.

    Exactly! Different parts of the game are enjoyable to different people. I wish folks could understand that just because something isn't fun to them, doesn't mean it's not fun to others.

    A little hard to do that when people decide to attack you with insults instead of actually using valid arguments, isn't it? But I guess you're right. Might as well just stop replying to the guy instead of repeating the same thing over and over again in an attempt to get the thoughts through, talking to a brick wall would yield more success.

    You didn't explicitely say that. But considering that you go to the length of claiming entitlement and other thinly veiled insults/implications to justify the drop rate being fine, leads to think that indeed, you're defending the drop rate.

    Regardless, I'll just heed Tziva's warning and stop replying to you.


    With that said, I don't think they'll change the drop rate at all. Not increasing, not decreasing, nothing. Silly as it is, it's what we'll have to deal with.

    I quite like to get the occasional mount, I've re-taken up farming for the Raven Lord and White Hawkstrider, and they're fairly low drop-chances. I wouldn't mind if they were 0.03% as they're available every day, but if they were only available for 14 days of the year, I'd be pissed!

    The way I see it is, that the drop rate did "increase", passively.
    I for myself have at the moment 4 chances every day. Since the introduction of account wide mounts now, I can run that 2 minutes event 4 times ( 4 lvl 90s) with a chance for a drop, and all my toons will have it, if I ever get it. If I don't get it, so be it. Every toon level 89 or 90 can do the event. I may actually even have more dibs next week, since I have 2 more toons getting close to 89.
    I mean I would agree if the event would be handled like the engi bot which can only be looted once a day acct wide. But that's not the case.
    I simply don't expect much from a 2 minute event, that takes more effort to wait out the queue time than the actual fight lasts.

    Totally agree, I farm all the solo/duoable mounts available, I'm not a huge mount collector, but there are some mounts I really like (including this rocket) and so knowing that If I run the place every week,every year, I may eventually get it, gives you hope and keeps you at it.

    But when you know you only have 1 chance per day for 14 days a year, and know the drop rate is one of the lowest drop rates for any mount, it's kind of disheartening, especially when you have friends or know people that have gotten it, that don't even like the mount at all and will never use it

    But as with everything I'll keep running it on my 3 capped alts every day till the end of the event and just cross every part of my body in hopes I get lucky If not theres always next year... if I haven't gone insane by then.. lol

    Thinking about the Big Love Rocket makes me angry because the Headless Horseman mount used to be nearly just as rare and I ran that place like a maniac day after day to get mine and then they nerfed it for no reason so that everyone and their mom could get it and yet left the drop rate on this mount unchanged. So ya neeeerd raaaaage. /endrant /leavesthread

    Pretty much my thoughts, except being pissed. No need to go that far

    I've farmed many mounts before as well, many of which I still haven't obtained and still farm weekly, and which I've been farming for more than a year now. The Karazhan mount is one that drives me crazy. I farm the damn thing 12 times per week, and I still haven't seen it. But I'm fine with that because I can farm it all year long as long as I feel like it. This rocket, however, is available for such a short time window that it doesn't justify the rarity, especially considering how bad it looks.

    I don't think the Headless Horseman's mount was ever as rare as this one. The drop rate, as far as I know, has always been the same as most mounts: in the 1-2% range, aproximately. The brewfest mounts initially had absurdely high drop rates, but I think it was later toned down to more acceptable levels, they don't drop every freaking day now. The rocket though? Has always been like this.

    Did you really just attack me twice in one post and then feign taking the high road? Awesome.

    Hypocrisy aside I agree, nothing more to be had from carrying out this conversation.

    It's a ridiculous looking mount, so maybe they don't want everyone flying around on one. I don't know.

    I have 3 dogs... That shit drop rate isn't that awesome
    I hope spring comes soon and I can drive the lawnmower over the grass again. It's turned into a minefield lol

    ANYWAY. BACK ON TOPIC.

    I only know one guy on my server who has the rocket. He got it a few years ago. There's probably more, but he's the only one I see. We'll see how it is this year though. Only one day into the event, for all we know the drop rate was increased. But we'll see.

    Also, kinda related: do we have to be 90 to queue? I know an 87 is too low. If it's 88 though I might push up a couple alts sitting at 87 just to have more chances.

    Tis true! I got my HH mount back before they put this daily cap on players, I ran it on every toon available, quickly logged out and back onto my main for the drop, I had all my friends alts use theirs up too (the ones that didnt care about mounts ofc) and I finally got it. And it was rare back then, but I didn't think myself any better than anyone else, I felt bad that others couldn't share the fun of the mount that I had, and wished it would drop for them too.

    So when they changed the drop rates I was so happy to start seeing my friends finally own this little bit of awesome. I had high hopes that they might do the same with the rocket, alas no such luck, I don't understand why the rocket has been singled out and kept so low, considering HH mount/brewfest mounts drop rates seems to have been increased so much.

    Ahh well seems I shall be devoid of having that huge pink rocket to ride, guess i'll just have to find something else /wink lol

    A level 88 guildies couldn't queue up, and I was told by someone else that level 89's could, so I'm assuming level 89 must be the minimum, though I haven't attempted it myself .
