im with everyone else, no random toys/mounts.
less rng please, i don't care if its 250k rep i need to grind, because thats not rng it's a known figure. sure opening 3 paragon boxes and getting a mount feels great.
downside opening 57 paragon boxes from 1 faction and getting 0 mounts, yup thats 570k rep and no mount, just feels stupid.
Yeah. Either no mounts or a higher droprate plus bad luck protection. Leveling reps past exalted should reward a fun little bonus, it shouldn't feel this bad. It shouldn't be mandatory for collectors.
All the mounts from the paragon caches should have been rewards for exalted. I don't mind the paragon caches existing, but they should not be the only source (certainly not with a low drop rate) for one of a kind collectables like that. Put azerite, or gold, or not-order resources, or whatever in them, don't have there be nothing of note as a reward for getting exalted, and then lock the reward that should have been for getting exalted behind getting lucky after farming another 50,000 rep or however long it takes to get the mount.
I would but since patch 7.35 (when I got an addon that actually tracks such things) i've done 40 army of the light Paragon rep chests and still don't have the 3rd mount (I got the 1st 2 before 7.35). Also since patch 7.35 i've done 15 Nightfallen paragon rep chests without getting the carpet mount... In total i've probably done 2-3 times that many for both factions.
I only got the Valarjar mount a couple of weeks ago (and got it a 2nd time a couple of chests later) while I got Court of Farondis mount 7-8 times in a similair number of chests which must have been around around 100 by that time.
Rng is ok but some things are a bit excessive. Most people aren't even going to open a quarter of the chests I have and I bet plenty of them get the mounts.
no, they should NEVER ever be back the SHITTY way it was done in legion which is totally a pissing in collectors faces!
As long as they don't contain unique items that can't be collected elsewhere, sure.

Nah, they don't need em. Without legendaries next expansion I know i would have zero reason to worry about them.
yes but with bad luck protection for each indiviual chest, i had like 5 stormheim dragons and still missin carpet and unicorn

That way, if you feel like playing the RNG game, you might get it eventually. If you don't want to do that and want to spend 100,000/200,000/whatever for your mount TODAY you can. Personally, I'd play the RNG game for the expansion and if I didn't get a mount I wanted, I'd buy it at the end.
It could satisfy both camps. Those who like the chances at exciting items can keep grinding and trying. Those who just want to buy their mounts/toys can do it and be done.
And according to others, I'm the biggest Blizzard White Knight around, as I tend to be mostly positive.
If you have to view it in the very childish light of "Y happened to me so X couldn't have happened to YOU!!", then be my guest. Don't project your thought process onto me though.
It's a fact, no matter how much you or others try to alter things with nothing else to go by than your feels and anecdotal evidence.
I've been downright farming for Broken Isles Paragon chests since their introduction, funneling rep tokens from 6/12 alts that are exalted, and none of the mounts nor toy have dropped.
Others have gotten all mounts within the first few boxes opened. It's called RNG, and some of us are unlucky no matter how much time we spend. As someone having immense patience for grinds, I believe that this idea of grind + RNG is horrific, except for those that get lucky.

Maybe if it worked like prestige PvP levels but I was already burned out on world queara before the prestige cache was implemented.
I've got the nightborne mount 3 times. Outside of that I've only knocked armies of legion fall and arguassian reach off the list. If there was so guarantee after so many I wouldn't hate it but the drop rate is far to low for how much work you have to do for it
Paragon chests that give a currency so you can ultimately get what you want if you input the time.
100% agree with this.
The ugly head of RNG rears again. It's like Blizzard thinks it's crack and they can't break their addiction.
If they're going to force that kind of reward system on us, then bring back the tabard system so we can at least do whatever the hell we're actually interested in while grinding RNG. Put the tabards at exalted if necessary.
Honestly, the entire concept of rep grinding in any form makes me vaguely ill. That garbage should have died in vanilla.
