Do you think that around 8 years before the Rivendare mount dropped for me in retail, and i went in with as many chars the game would allow me to, sounds like fast, easy, super-convenient instant access to everything in the game to you? And then you state that every char has to earn it? Not me, to me it sounds like self-torture.
It’s like having to eat the same dish every day for breakfast, lunch and diner for 8 years, in the end you’ll start to puke whenever you see that dish again after a few years. That’s kind of what happened when i did 1 grind in Stratholme in classic for that mount, i can’t do it anymore. Then you are of the opinion that every char has to earn it for themselves, chars played by me. I’m the one who did that, my chars were the tools to get there.
Now in classic, i got the Raven Lord during TBC while helping a druid to get his epic flight form (don’t worry, the druid himself said to all to need on it). Since then i’ve helped others to get it as well with my own druid as i had it on 1 of my chars and passed on it ever since. If i would have needed on it on several chars, i would have felt like i’ve stolen the chance of others to get it as well.
FF to WotLK, i got the undying and immortal title, also the meta achievements those were needed for. Do you really think i’m going to spend all the wow time i have to “earn” that on every one of my other 10 chars to get the 310 speed mounts on them? Once again, i’m not into self-torture.
If it’s an RP thing, sure ask Blizzard to keep RP realms away from the account-wide changes but don’t burden me with your personal wishes.
Come on haw many times can you cancel a sub? You tried to do it with Era interface update, before official HC, now over this? You are overreacting to minor and cosmetic things.
For the original who won the mount no, for any alts who want it yes as they can have it with a single click. If you want the same mount for alts then you should be made to get back there and get farming, for however long it takes.
If you don’t want to do it anymore because it’s too grindy then accept you have it on one char and your others can just use a basic faction mount. There’s no need for every single character on your account to have a Rivendare mount.
I’d be embarrassed to even use that mount on an alt who didn’t earn it, knowing as I did that me having it was nothing but a cheat. Might as well have just Ebayed the character.
Some characters have some rare mounts, and others have different ones. That makes that mount rare. Now we will see them everywhere. So they will stop being rare. If someone has OCD or something and can’t relax without having everything on every character, it is their problem. We are moving from playing in Warcraft Unverse to Warcraft Lunapark. Where fresh char with wooden sword will ride the rarest armored mount from hell. If this is not against the classic spirit, I don’t know what is. It is gratuitous change.
I play Classic to AVOID retail features, these people are wanting to have as many retail features stuffed into their game as humanly possible. Unfortunately the Blizzard B Team devs don’t get it either and they are catering for the laziest/lowest common denominator.
And I don’t get why they’re so angry at people who feel differently to them. These guys now have everything they could possibly want. They can avoid levelling entirely with boosts, buy whatever they wish with real life money, and have instant access to everything on every character. The game is now as ultra-convenient, ultra-streamlined and ultra-fast as they could possibly wish. It’s instant gratification turned up to 11.
I’ll never understand why they’re playing Classic instead of retail, but I’ll also never understand why they’re so furious at people who just want the Classic client to mirror the original game.
re-read your posts and really look at the tone in which you type and see who might be projecting their furious feelings onto others.
Nobody is furious at you for stating your opinion, but you repeat yourself ad nauseum in every thread with the same message and you may not have noticed you are insulting people constantly and using a very condescending and aggressive tone.
Hence my comment of growing up, you are way too invested in the game and it is coming out of you in an unhealthy way.
Perhaps you’d care to point out where I insulted anyone?
And if you’re fed up with me ‘repeating myself’ the answer is simple. Forum posters can be blocked, then you’ll never have to read anything I post again and you relax, happy in the knowledge that all dissenting voices have been silenced.
And once again, you have been given everything you wanted, the game is yours. You’ve got your boosts, your buyable gold, your account-wide features. Why not just be happy in that knowedge?
For this reason I never use Headless Horseman’s mount on my main. Never won him., Tried since it was possibel every day - 5 chances. Then every day one go … still not in BfA I had it. My son - on my account -. won him first run. I was so pissed with account-wide mounts. Still am.
May be cosmetic - mounts ARE after all cosmetics only, but minor. No.
I had Rivendare’s mount in retail on one char and all the 22 others should go get one of their own otherwise they’re Ebayed chars. I don’t understand how you can be so detached and insulting on top of your other insults i replied to but meh.
Do you realize that if you have say 8 chars and they’re all in the same guild, you do stratholme with guildies every day on all of those 8 chars and you need and win 8 times on Rivendare’s mount i’d be surprised that you wouldn’t get kicked out of that guild for being an utter ninja, selfish person and grieved a few other guildies big time. Tha’ts prolly why you didn’t reply to what is said in my post see below:
If you treat your chars as an individual of their own, then why aren’t they all posting on this forum?
You are either a very detached person or you are a mega-troll.
Yep, I’m not my characters, I’m my account. Sure I’m attached more to certain ones but you’re the person behind the pc and my time is valuable. If I earned something once I expect it to remain with me.
That’s the reason I’m not a mount farmer in classic, but I am in retail.
At this point just accept there’s 2 groups to this that will never understand each other’s view and move on. Account bound mounts are inc in wrath, sure that’s a bit soon but the game has devolved so much from the true classic values it’s not a big deal anymore.

I never said that. I said that I personally felt that using the mount on a character who had not earned it made me feel as if I might as well have Ebayed it.
Do you realize that if you have say 8 chars and they’re all in the same guild, you do stratholme with guildies every day on all of those 8 chars and you need and win 8 times on Rivendare’s mount i’d be surprised that you wouldn’t get kicked out of that guild for being an utter ninja, selfish person and grieved a few other guildies big time
No longer an issue as I can easily solo Stratholme and farm it myself. I don’t need a group, and don’t need to involve guildies. If I chose to run the instance as a group purely for mount farming then the mount should go to whoever wins the roll, surely?
More to the point why would you even need it on eight chars? It’s supposed to be a unique mount.
That statement is meaningless. There is zero correlation between playing characters in the game and posting on the forums.
