Evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death—but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also.
So... AOTC Fyrakk (heroic kill in current season) awards mount.
MOP = final tier end boss AOTC = mount
Wod = final tier end boss AOTC = mount
Legion = final tier end boss AOTC = mount
BFA = final tier end boss AOTC = mount
Shadowlands = final tier end boss AOTC = mount
DF = ........... ?

I mean it can mean that yes, 10.2 is the final raid but NOT the end of the expansion story. They can move the end of the story to 10.2.5. It could be outside instanced content. Heck it could even be a solo challenge.
It just means 10.2 is the final Major patch and 10.2.5 and 10.2.7 will exist with 10.2.7 being the final patch befor 11.0.
This removes the x.3 Standard and moves us to a x.2 Standard which justification is evident based on DF's content cadence being the defense point.
I no longer reply to quotations beyond if you're asking a genuine question or have a non-confrontational stance.
the only way to justify yet another expansion cut short is a world revamp.

Where did you buy pink glasses mate?
Nah, nope. Never ever have they given us AOTC mounts mid-exp.
Only for the final tier.
If we're getting 10.2 in early/mid November (It def won't come before 1st of November due to Timewalking calendar event), it will last till mid Apr/May next year.
You think they will introduce final patch/raid tier in middle of the summer, 5-6 months before release of new expansion for 20th anniversary? Nah, not going to happen

These are all DROP ITEMS (from loot table).
AOTC reward comes only from final raid tier patch.

I'm guessing 10.2.5 is a heavy story patch featuring Alex rebelling against Tyr, but because there isn't a new raid or zone attached (besides Vakthros, everything on the isle has been claimed) it's the last patch.
Could also be Alex AND the Blue Dragons because Titan Arcane theme, Blues not having their own patch story, and Khadgar currently having no purpose.

Time for juicy stuff in the files.

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t get actual Emerald Dream vibes from the zone pictures?
I know it’s a silly thing to say considering this is the first we see of it on a bigger scale but I just see it as Val’sharah. I expected something much more wild, like a combination of Un’goro, Feralas and Val’sharrah. I dunno, I feel whelmed.
