We live in an era of "me versus them", an era where something is done that you don't like means you are personally attacked. People whine too much.
Let us play video games and be happy.
I think it's an ugly mount and it doesn't impact anything, as it's a reward for people w/ long subscriptions.
The company has been overly delicate in how they have to justify store cosmetics. I don't even care anymore, a lot of games do it and I don't hate Blizzard so much that I despise a benign way that they can make money. Some people need to move onto different games or mature a little more. It's a game and a company, not your family or friend.

Good for you that you dont see the problem. For loyal costumers... right my man.. If you realy think like that then there is no point discussion this any further. I think it should have been free with the delay.. and that promotion mount could have been some recolor, but no they decide to use one of the unique mounts instead. Its a pure buisness move cus if they used a recolor nonone would care duh.
Yes I said that, like I said you could have ignored that part if you dissagree. I dont care honestly.
My opinion didnt change at all here.
Meh. Not gonna use a mounts idle animation as a deciding factor to "best" mount. If it had a cool Animation but was literally a turd, wouldn't sway me. As others have said, covenant mounts are great or I'll stick with my dh order hall mounts. Either way, herbalist so most likely will be sky golem use for life.
I don't care about that one, I like my zoom zoom broker snowboard disc.

I mean, that is highly subjective, I don't like the mount at all, other than the /mountspecial perhaps.
You can also buy it in the store for 25 USD/EUR or something.
In addition to that, Blizzard actually loses money in the long run on the people that has a 6-month subscription that would've subbed for 6 months anyways. If you use 2x 6-month subs instead of 12x 1-month Blizzard loses 24 USD/EURO, which is basically what the store mount costs.

I don't know why you think it's the best. It doesn't require a 6 month sub though. You can buy it.
Nope. But having a option does also not mean the game is automaticly bad or worse.
And its clear your just here for arguments.
Because you sidestep all my other points. And called the mount a turd in either case. If you get it, or get it for free, or subscription. In all ways according to you its a turd.
It's not an opinion: it's objective fact. Real money can buy a mount and real money can buy gold too while gold can also be obtained with either high skill (e.g. boost runs) or grinding (farming a silly mat for days).
It's objectively fuzzy HOW it was obtained (skill or grinding or mommy's money) so I think the game would be better if all the rewards were clearly separated into skill-based and grinding-based and money.

Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

If you have the sub set for 6 months but use gold to pay you get the mounts anyway.

Not knowing the source wasn't the issue. KNOWING that the source can be either skill or grinding or mommy's money is the issue. If you're gonna have microtransactions (which they are already questionable in themselves) at least separate them into skill and grinding and money based because this way you have no clue what was the source for each player.
Again: if you believe "life is unfair" is good for a video game, why do you even play a video game? Play "life" since that's already a good game for you according to your own opinion.
You're right. The game is already tainted by being able to buy gold with mommy's money and then buy BOEs/runs/whatever and beat others on the most important parts of the game (e.g. high end raiding).
That doesn't make my argument weaker: it makes it stronger: the problem is bigger than a mount.
