    Has anyone actually seen the Livestock Lochaber Axe (Two-Hand Polearm), Tome of Town Portal Toy, or Twelve-String Guitar Toy? Everyone that I've talked to thus far hasn't seen those items drop, and it seems a bit odd given almost everything else but the mount has been seen by the group I've been chatting with.

    I have both the toys, but not sure if they previously were released with some other event or I got them today.

    Edit: Just got the poleaxe.

    But hey people here will defend them by saying "it's just pixels"
    As someone that has Tyrael's Charger from back in the day, and plenty of other "exclusive" mounts, I could not give less of a fuck if Randy McRandom gets literally any of the "exclusive" mounts today. Literally, who cares? There is nothing "prestigious" about any of this shit. I really is just pixels, and it really is just a game. If you're relying on shit in a game from over a decade ago to make you feel some sort of superiority, or self worth, you got much bigger things to be worrying about. Maybe step away from WoW for a bit, get some perspective.

    New rewards -> Old rewards.
    What? Do they remove it from people that got them or what?
    I do agree New rewards -> Old rewards, because the old ones are near dogshit quality.

    WoW needs a mass revamp on all items, models, anything. Ask for much, but you get much in return.
    Doubt we gonna see it happen though.

    Yea, because it makes little sense to do it when the quantity is nearly in the thousands

    I used alts for my first two events, last night.

    1st alt got the 12-string guitar in Stormwind, 2nd alt got the 36-slot bag in Waking Shores.

    It's easier then it seems, just requires time. Remember WoW uses alot of remodels, look how easy races were changed.
    Billion dollar company and thousands of employees shouldn't be an issue to make this an reality, greed of profit will.
