I started doing ICC MOUNT-BOOST runs at level 85 on my DK with a fixed ID, saw a mount drop every ~20-25 ID's. 85-solo-DK kills with 1 dead buyer was a great and easy way to farm for the mount, because you did not have to share the drop.
AFAIK the real unlucky ones on wowhead with trusted kills took 50-60 ID's of consecutive kills to see 1 mount drop.
Could you post your tracked 600 kills, because it is really hard to believe what you say. People claim many times insane numbers for no drop and when I checked their armory, many times the amount of kills were in the single digits.

Farmed it for years on and off. Sometime I'll forget by being too distracted. Got Shadowmourn 3 times before I finally got the mount.
Put on music or shows while running it.
With pleasure. Characters are Yggnoth (Ragnaros EU), Doomforge (Ragnaros EU), Kelebdugolog (Ragnaros EU), Tryell (Ragnaros EU), Yotul (Ragnaros EU) - You can go to armory and check those stats by Yourself With only this 5 chars i have almost 500 kills. There are bounch of other characters on different relams with kills around 10 - 30. I do it for years now, week after week. Always between 2 - 5 kills a week. This is not a joke. I can't drop invincible for years now.
I cant post any links (fresh acc). Ill try to post you links in private message
Any advice?
EDIT. I cant post PMs either because my acc is too fresh. Kill counts (for chars mentioned above) atm are:
Yggnoth (Ragnaros EU) - 45
Doomforge (Ragnaros EU) - 107
Kelebdugolog (Ragnaros EU) - 183
Tryell (Ragnaros EU) - 93
Yotul (Ragnaros EU) - 41 kills

Just go in there and pick up the mount, not that hard :P
I dont farm for mounts, but did 1 full clear back in 2016 and got Invincible, Ashes and Pureblood Firehawk in 1 hour.
I used to run ICC weekly with 6-8 different characters every week troughout Legion. I ran the place while doing other stuff at the same time, like watching movies or chat to some people. The mount is definately worth it, still my favorite one yet. Also used to run Ulduar for Mimiron's Head whichI got a lot sooner. I think with all my runs combined, I would have at least 300 Lich King kills.
wtf you talking about? YES, you can bring your alts to the last boss, you just need to kill all bosses prior to LK, create a pre made group for it, log out of your main, log in on your alt, join that premade, log back into your main, accept it, log back out, log back in on your alt,enter ICC and get prompted to enter a run where previous bosses have been killed, then its GG, rinse and repeat this for any other alt you have
There was a trick at some point, don't think it works anymore.
Basically you had to clear up to LK on normal on a char, then get an alt in the same party and enter ICC, you'd be in a normal with only LK left, then kick your main from the party and convert it to heroic while inside (with your main outside). You were now in a heroic with only LK and your main would not get saved.
IIRC this got "fixed" when they updated lockouts for older raids.
Shadowmourne only takes a few clears and if you want the mount you can just farm it on different armor types after you collected the transmogs to get even more transmongs haha.

Warlock soloing https://www.youtube.com/user/Firedemon012 (old & abandoned)
While it was lucrative to boost ICC mount runs (~85, Cataclysm) you could just clear HEROIC till LK on your gate-char and just invite they buyer into the raid, log to your main, get invited in your own HC raid and just kill LK-HC. Your gate-char got still the non-cleared raid ID and you could simply extend your gate-char ID every week.
Nothing strange was needed, just a simple raid-ID extend on your gate-char.
The solo part as a DK made it really easy for people who wanted the mount, since otherwise most 5-man groups had a really hard time and many pugs went for 10+ players and thats the point why people payed good amount of gold for a solo-kill (2-man).

I have 470 Deathwing kills and no lifebinder OR blazing drake drop. Cry me a river OP
make a skip to the lich king after completing the raid once. ezpz
"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation."
To be fair Invincible is technically already a MTX, considering you can purchase it off the BMAH which is usually bought with gold you have purchased through the Shop.

I agree, this is really needed for other raids too like SoO and Dragon Soul
Well to be clear here, all this easy old raid farming is a game design mistake that shouldn't have ever happened. Them not caring about this is already bad enough, but doubling down on it would be just stupid. If anything, they should in the future use their scaling tech and scale all raids to max level to prevent this from ever happening again (and also add more and updated items).
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Anyone complaining about ICC or DS has never farmed for Tusks of Mannoroth. I also kill Nalak about 30 times a week for...I don't know, a couple years now, and still nothing. But at least thats over and done with as long as I log into each character.
