Did I read dungeon/raid mount drop rate increase?

[Deleted]

In the title guys, I am sure I read somewhere that they are increasing the drop rate of dungeon/raid mounts to 4-5% up from 1%? Is this true or did I dream it.

Cheers.

I can't confirm or deny it, but I seem to recall actually reading something similar some time ago.

Anyone else hear this?

I think I've kept up to date on the important blue posts, and being a mount collector, something like this would have stuck out... and I don't recall hearing this information.

I don't remember hearing anything like this and that strikes me as something that would have been front page news if true.

The only thing I remember even remotely linked to this was when they changed Rivendares Death Charger from a 1 in 10000 to 1 in 500 drop rate. They pretty much never speak about mount drop rates.

There were rumours/wishful thinking about them increasing the Blazing Drake dropmount with that released achievement for the Emerald Drake achievement (or whatever it was).

I seriously doubt it. I'd rather see some changes to mechanics to make them a little more soloing friendly would be far better than an increased drop chance (See Spine of Deathwing hc).

[Rixis]

Yeah, so far the only ones we've heard of are Valithria and Thorim.

Spine is getting fixed to make it more soloable, as is Thorim.

Thanks for your replies everyone, maybe I dreamt it then

I know they're fixing the roll mechanic, but I haven't heard anything about Blood of Deathwing being addressed.

Blood of Deathwing is HC only, and as I (and I imagine most others) had no interest in spine hc it hasn't come up much when it comes to soloing. Anyone with a dispel should be able to dispel frequently enough, but if you can't I imagine the damage reduction (90% was it?) should be ample, as the explosion does sub 1million that will result in sub 100k damage on a 300k+ healthpool.

I sure hope not. Keeping things rare makes them worth farming, and means more when they finally drop. Making it common, like with the Onyxian Drake, just ruins the whole experience.
