Gladiator Mounts Account Wide in Shadowlands

Gladiator mounts have long served as one of the most prestigious rewards in all of World of Warcraft. This is due to the considerable time, effort, and skill required to earn one. In the past, we felt that prestige should be reserved to the character that earned a Gladiator mount, as this best demonstrated your expertise with that particular class.

Shadowlands Season 1 will be the 30th PvP season in World of Warcraft, and a lot has changed over that time. Not only has the game evolved with the introduction of new classes or changes to existing ones, but players’ preferences have often evolved with regard to the class they like to play most.

So, beginning in Shadowlands, all Gladiator mounts, including those from previous seasons, can be used by all characters across the account the mount was earned on.

Thank you for playing and we’ll see you in the Arena!

    Nice change, for the couple hundred or so that can actually get those mounts. Good to see they're focusing on the things that matter...

    This change is just about mounts, not even appearances or titles, and CM mounts are already account-bound.

    If you mean appearances, I don't fully agree, challenge modes were actually challenging for some classes/specs... But they might do this anyway, so whatever, hope they do it for the mage tower artefact looks then since we're making wish lists.

    Funny thing is it doesn't even apply to 0.5% of the player base as that would assume that the other 99.5% pvp which they don't :s

    Of course they do and there is no worth in anything if you dont take it seriously. The difference between WASTING YOUR TIME and HAVING FUN in this MMO depends just on how seriously you play it.

    Blizzard is responsible to keep the proud feat history and the pointwhoring exploit behavior in check. Unhealthy community behaviour should at least not be rewarded and Blizzard did some awfull and later regretable changes in the past that cannot be undone.

    Don't worry, I'm sure they can still pull the resources to add store pets and stuff for players like you

    As for the change I am happy and kinda annoyed....but in a super small way.

    I didn't bother with mounts for a few expansions now as I got into the habit of swapping mains each expansion. I guess I can ride around on my unarmored frostwyrn again so that's cool.

    Also gives me a reason to push 3s now.
    Think he means you should be able to buy the others with an alt.
    I have the sets on my Warlock and Shaman, wich i did not play since MoP.
    Would like them on my Mage and Warrior, its not like my Warlock did that but me, the person.

    There are just 200 people in the US on pace to get the current gladiator title, whatever it is called. The fact they're making content for 200 players, maybe 1000 if you take all regions into consideration, is absurd

    Making content? Lmao. You think flicking a switch and making glad mounts account wide is "making content"? You jealous whiners are hilarious.

    It actually had prestige on which character you got the mount on, since there always was Fotm comps/classes so getting it on a lower represented class was "greater" achievement.

    However since there are already close to 30 seasons (and mounts) it is hard to remember what class was good/op in what season, so having them on only one character is less relevant.

    Actually shocking how people who are not effected by this find the justification to fucking whinge about it. Like it takes away something from them that the gladiator players get something.

    Jealous of what? I literally started playing WoW again 2 days ago after almost 3 years, i have never cared at all for PvP in WoW and never will. I'm trying to understand the logic behind it. They keep making titles, mounts, gear, and non stop balance changes for 0.02% of the playerbase. How is that not a problem???

    Again, HOW IS THAT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AWAY FROM YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE?

    If you think they make drastic balance changes to classes based on pvp you're fucking delusional.

    EDIT: And 0.02% of the playerbase play arena? What exactly are you smoking in your crackpipe?

    You realise that this change could be done by someone in an afternoon, since there aren't a large amount of Gladiator mounts and with their new Mount Collection system it would be quite simply changing a piece of code that flags it as account wide.

    You are quite literally crying about something so trivial for no actual reason except to cry.
