Love is in the Air 2025 Mount Clarifications

[Tarx]

So I will do it one time per day . Thats clear

[ThatsOurEric]

Imagine defending Blizzard's idea of having a mount with ~0.03% drop chance drop 2 weeks a year, and then dare to call people pointing that out and complaining "entitled".

Yeah some people are genuinely fucking stupid.

Unironically, these are also the same people who shed tears of blood over TCG mounts
and other collectibles being obtainable.

[WeWillOnlyBeSlower]

Blizzard lost their mind. Increasing droprates is a no-go.
It's a big middle finger to those farming them for ages.
The droprate increase of World Boss mounts was a bad decision too.

I feel you nothing special anymore, I completly stopped farming mounts after the world boss incident.

[SinR]

Imagine getting mad over a mount that you'll use once or twice.

[Naxxramas91]

Lots of attention seekers here complaining about wanting to feel special, to stand out purely on luck...

There's still plenty of things to do that, especially with PvP Rating and soon the M+ 3000 mounts.

Go brush up on your skill and actually show THAT off instead of being lucky or FOMO nonsense.



*Insert Greta's "How Dare You" meme*

Thes people act like someone getting a mount purely on luck getting it after a few attempts put 'more effort' in compared to someone being tossed a bone after thousands of attempts.

Nah, it's just people who feel like they are entitled to every little cosmetic in the game just because they are playing it.

It's an MMORPG, a type of game that was started with rng being one of the core features at the foundation. Just like life, you don't get to have everything just because your living it, and some people are luckier than others. If you've noticed, nothing seems special in the game anymore because of spoiled kids crying about mount/xmog/toy/etc. drop rates. Everyone has everything these days and it's boring. Even if you've farmed a mount forever and it drops because they buffed the hell out of the drop rate, everyone else now has it too, so what made it special enough to farm in the first place is no longer there. An environment where nothing feels unique is a deary and dull experience.

Plus, back in the day when people people actually engaged in what an MMO was really about, the mounts were just a side bonus to the experience of having fun with your friends, exploring new things every day, doing whatever you felt like each time you logged in, even just hanging out in the middle of a random zone with 20 ppl chatting, without feeling the need to be to complain about drop rates on every miniscule item. Those mounts were cool back then, and only rarely seeing them made them stand out. It was something to look forward to getting one day, even if it may never drop. But it was never a driving factor in enjoying the game. So many people in this thread are making it seem like they're gonna unsub if Blizz doesn't give them what they want RIGHT NOW, lol. It's a little sad. Good things don't last forever, I suppose.


P.S. 3000 mplus score mounts won't be rare or require any effort lol. Any brainless chap can get 3k in mplus. I'd be worried about your ability to function IRL if that was considered a tall task.

This 100p. Could not agree more

[Donald Hellscream]

I am both happy and annoyed that they've added a new mount.

Happy because new mount yay, annoyed because it means I have to farm it again after 14 years (I was lucky enough to get the rocket back in 2011).

New mount has drop protection like the Noble Garden carpet, with an already decent drop rate to begin with.

I got both the X45 Rocket and the Sweeper mounts together in the same box yesterday.

Is this a troll comment? 3K rating is currently around top 2% of M+ players. M+ is not even attempted by most bad players at any level, therefore 3K+ players probably belong to top 1% of wow players. Belonging to highest skill percentiles takes shitton of time and requires abilities you may or may not possess. Most people could not get 3K rating (without paying for boosts) in a few months if their life depended on it.

The droprate increase of World Boss mounts was a bad decision too.

If you got the item before the drop rate got increased, why do you care? You already have the thing.
If you are still farming when the buff happens, then you are going to directly benefit from the change.

I fail to see why this entails Blizzard losing their minds and insulting farmers.

Hard to take you seriously when you claim "any brainless chap" can get 3k in mythic+.

Because they apparently care if other people can get it easier, it seems they feel it makes it less "special".

Like I said earlier, said people who think/feel this way are genuinely fucking stupid.

[panda040]

People still play wow? games seems really stale at the moment. Waiting on 10.2 or 10.3

[exochaft]

Because they apparently care if other people can get it easier, it seems they feel it makes it less "special".

By definition, it does make the items less special if they're retroactively made easier to obtain. What's more special: the first green quest item everyone gets at the start of an expansion, or a rare trinket off the last mythic boss of a raid? A mount that anyone can buy for 5g or the TLPD mount? Even if someone isn't a collector, one could easily perceive a difference in value between items even if it isn't their main drive. What makes something unique and special generally equates to something being hard to obtain, whether it's due to luck, requires a lot of time/money to obtain, or what have you. Reducing any factor that innately makes something special makes it less special. There's a reason end-of-raid boss mount drops always go from guaranteed to ~1% drop rate after the tier ends: even Blizz knows that making something easier to obtain will decrease its value.

Looking at it from a different angle, there's a difference between making something special/unique for player satisfaction... and being predatory or unreasonable. Where is the line? When it comes directly to things like drop rates, that can be pretty vague and depend upon the individual to determine what's realistic or fair. However, it shouldn't even be a question to see how increasing drop rates can lead to nasty side effects, such as making people feel like they wasted their time in a bad way, reducing the special/unique factor, and so forth.

A lot of this debate probably comes down to people's mentality and what they value more. What tends to get lost is respect for people having different goals and desires, especially in an entertainment product. People tend to look down upon or chastise who they can't understand or when they value something different to the point of being dismissive when they themselves don't personally care about it. Sometimes it boils down to people embracing an entitlement mentality, where they believe that equity of outcomes is always better or some similar flavor of belief is somehow the moral high ground... which ironically can be sourced back to their own desire (or projection of their desire onto others) of wanting to be unique/special but if they can't they'd rather drag everyone down to their level. It's human nature; everyone has some level of desire to distinguish themselves in some way or another.

Nah, it's not a troll comment. People who are currently 3k are some of the worst players this game has to offer lol. Not sure who would pay for a boost to 3k when keys at that level are mind numbingly easy. I'm sitting close to 3500 right now and a good amount of players around this level are still bad imo. The 3k players are just clueless. And anyone below that idk why they're even bothering with mplus in general. 3k mount is not an achievement in any sense. Casual thing to bother with first week or two of the season maybe
