Blizzard overcompensates with nerfs all of the time, so it wouldn't surprise me. I mean 1 percent speed increase isn't going to fly, and the .1 second duration pretty much means you hit it to break the snare and that's it.

Others have yet to point out they may be Heroic and Normal raiding mounts like the Kor'kron War Wolf and the Mini Iron Jugganaut.

Technically speaking, bettles shouldn't be able to fly, and yet they do.

... Why would Deeds of Valor have a duration? Good grief, I hope that's just PTR. While Blizzard devs are at it, how about making the item actually useful at this time in the expansion by making it Bind to Battle.net Account?

I can tell you exactly why. Because if they didn't I would be hoarding those and on launch night buying every possible piece of level 100 gear I could..... going to assume they are thinking ahead and probably removing it come 6.0.... if they don't then it makes no difference because I will just hoard the coins then grab all the valor at once and buy everything..... all at once.

If you want a frame of reference..... I hoarded fuck loads of honor with the 5.1 badges before the change, after the change its much more difficult to do. I also have over 8k Justice Points saved up in those scenario crates, it was hard work, but its worth the effort.

Yay, Going to need a Bigger Bag change. Eventually. Not sure if I can be assed to grind valor to upgrade toons since I'm barely on as is. Could kill some time I suppose. Mounts look fair, better news post than usual although this is all fluff before the big news later in the year.

I suspect the horse will be blood elf related, since they're the one's who took the Anima construct samples and researched it. Now they're applying it themselves.

That Warforged Nightmare better not come from the Iron horde. Seeing as how Garrosh believes that the Orcs are the master race and they ride worgs.

Even if it did exactly that, it would still be stupidly powerful. A spamable snare AND root break for the laughable energy cost that it is should not even be in the game as is let alone with the other perks as well.

Amusing, with another RAF horse and in-game store scarab Blizzard tries to compensate their lost in subscription fee. How many times will this micro-transaction trick work? So far, this lousy softball game has been repeated whenever Blizzard has a down market, they play this dirty conjuration to fool the player-base, selling their productions by starving the players and take the advantage of their hunger. However, the current end-game is a monument of failure（euphemistic way) and Blizzard knows that it's the empty content that make patch 5.4 the most tedious end-game ever, Timeless island is a joke as well as a failing copy to GW2 while Soo burns out over a year. Nevertheless, players should hurray, because they are given another 8-level to work for, what a wonderful idea to keep the subscription going by constantly stimulating the "gear-desire" in player-base, a cunning psychology marketing pattern huh? but guess what, now matter how they seem to add "content" into this end-game, nothing really did, the game is still "content-burnt" totally fried, neither mounts nor 8-level up will change that fact.

In short, Blizzard fails in this end-game, generally, they fail in MoP, they are desperately saving the market by some lame and lazy ideas, they are making WoW more a time sink, rather a game of entertainment. I actually want Blizzard to change their name from "Blizzard entertainment" to "Blizzard milking machine".

Uhh, I don't know where you've heard that but that's far from true. Beetles aren't expert fliers by any means, but they're not "technically" incapable of flight. You may be referring to bumblebees which were in early years an aerodynamic curiosity but are now understood.

It's also spelled beetles, not bettles.

Like most expansions, the mounts they give us are often ones that they'll use in a lot of the content. Like the cloud serpents or the proto-drakes. Many times, it's just allowing players to sit on creatures that they're already going to use (using default animations) or mounts that NPC's are going to use.

It isn't "this is diverting days away from WoD development."

Timeless Isle was fun for a couple of months, but the Isle and the raid both launched with too much time until the expansion. That's the real problem. And this kind of thing has happened at the end of every expansion so far. It's not a "this is new and finally happening" kind of thing. It always happens.

Please find me any reputable and or scientific source that says so, and also please consult a dictionary.

We are repeatedly told, yet people repeatedly do not listen.

I bet it's easy to sell you things.

Whether that is true or not. Selling a mount, with 12 months of no content. No matter whether it took any time, or not.

Is bad form.

Burst of Speed doesn't break roots, and according to Celestalon that change only seems to be a tooltip glitch. It's staying as it is.

Seems the grinning reaver will be a ground/fly mount after all >_>

It didn't happen in Vanilla, it didn't happen in TBC, it didn't happen in WLK. What happens is we are having less and less content to play.
