I had a bunch of TCG pets in my banker char’s guild bank till I decided to take a long break to only discover my GM status got transferred to one of the people that signed the guild charter who kicked my character out, the prk…
Hindsight is a real B, should’ve kicked them out after the guild was formed… lost about 30m worth of stuff in that guild bank!!
The bigger problem is that there are just far too many mounts in the game as is. When I get a mount drop now, its more if a relief than joy. Practically nobody cares what mount you are on because theres so many. If you want to flex on a spectral tiger in front of 5 people then sure, go for it. In reality nobody cares nor does it have meaning.
I care what mount I’m using and I’m not doing it for others’ reaction. I’m the one who gets to see most of the time if my draenei uses the lightforged warframe or a generic gryphon. Or whether this character uses the outdated bronze drake or the high quality highland drake with bronze scales.
I play Valeera with a rooster mount in HotS so having one for my belf would be cool, though I’d appreciate a more up to date model instead of getting the old TCG one.
I’d rather they be in the game. There’s already a few there on the BMAH, some also appear some time on the TP. There’s also the one outlier which they should do more of-the Riding Turtle. You can actually obtain this just from playing the game normally, and it has a rare drop. I don’t get why they haven’t added more TCG items in on a similar level. Having them be somewhat rare can also maintain their value if that thing bothers the people who originally shelled out cash for the cards. They could also have some other items be obtained through an extensive meta like Back from the Beyond/A World Awoken etc… We could get a TBC FoS for the Dark Portal and Ethereal Portal where you have to obtain exalted with all factions, for example. It gives people a reason to go back to complete old world content so I don’t get why they haven’t continued with more.
