Is no one else upset about this? I see no threads discussing this here. It was swept under the rug... they just mentioned it in an interview that almost no one knows about and it's a single sentence on mmo-champion which is easy to miss.
Why? 4 Months is considered rushing the leveling content? What the hell? I was looking forward to getting my unarmored mount. Why would you do this, Blizzard? It doesn't take any of your development time since the models are already there.The original unarmored mounts from Classic were discussed, but ultimately it was decided not to bring them back in Classic because they didn't want to give players the incentive to rush through the leveling experience.
