Get it through your thick skull that I am not talking about the original. No one is talking about the original. No one wants the original, and no one is asking to get the original. They didn't work for the new one, Blizzard didn't promise them a new one. They worked for the original mount and title. They still have that, and it's still exclusive.
We are talking about a NEW MOUNT MODEL that was developed in 2017, not in Classic, and it was never a part of that event. The original Battle Tank, Classic players paid to have developed and they all had a shot at earning it. This one was developed by currently playing and paying players and none of them except old Scarab Lords can have it.
If they make it off my dime, whether it's easy, hard or nearly impossible to get, they should give me and anyone else paying for a subscription the opportunity to get it. Whether it's a limited time opportunity before or after BfA, or an easy grab from a questline that will be around forever.
