They should just remove the daily lockout for it. Then at least people would not have to stress about having alts and could just re queue and kill as many times as they want on 1 character.
That doesn’t fix the main problem of it being unfun to grind away at a 0.03% drop chance.
In fact, that would make the problem 10x worse.
Unless the dropchance increases, for every kill, this will not be fun.
It’s never fun to grind anything. The fun part is when all your efforts pay off.
I personally think the mount should drop 5 times more than it does, but drop from the boss itself and all players should roll for it. Remove the daily lock out also, so people can farm away on 1 character as much as they want to.
Btw Roguinaa, I think it will drop for you this year so don’t give up ;D
God no. Absolutely not. No group loot bs for mount farms please. That’s a whole other topic im very against on.
But it -could- be, and -should- be after 15 years. Alt armies are not just used for Heartbreaker, but for pretty much 80% of daily/weekly mount farms. World Bosses, Rare spawns, Heroic Dungeon mounts, so on.
The part where the fun could be, is actually having it drop.
I’m sure someone aiming to farm this with an alt army could have fun the first year!
But after 5, 10 or even 15 years… we just want the suffering to be over. This is not fair to anyone. And having a slightly higher chance once a day, is worthless.
They made World Bosses more reasonable a few months ago, and we need the same treatment for the Heartbreaker, especially because the window of availability is only 15 days a year.
Insert meme of Hawkeye saying “Don’t do that… Don’t give me hope…”

Youre not entitled to the mount. If you dont get it tough luck thats life.
Absolutely not! Why to buff the drop rate? how would this mount be special if they do that, it shouldnt be buffed at all. Blizz please remove the buff !
I really hope we can see another Heartbreaker buff before the 14th. Preferably to make it a 1% drop chance each kill. Sooner rather than next year.
Maybe a better buff as this year’s Valentine’s Gift?
Just save us from this suffering, please. I’m running the dungeon on alts as we speak. 4 minute DPS queues. Ugh.

you forgot tusks
Whats that gotta do with this
You can atleast farm that twice a week per character, + 2 bonus rolls per week.
That’s 4 chances a week for 1 character. Over 200 attempts a year, for just 1 character.
And Heartbreaker only gives you 15 chances a year for 1 character.
U can just buy tusks on black market, no grind is even needed for that 
Lets hope they fix this rocket drop chance, first box of the day is just stupid.

i was writing i was disappointed noone posted this GIF.
You gave me hope. thanks
I’ve been doing tusks for 5 years or so on 6 characters every week and it takes much longer to do a run. So don’t chat bro
U shoud have grinded gold instead for black market.
Also if u wanna farm tusks faster i belive u can make ur own save and just do last boss instead of clearing it each time.

Making the Heartbreaker a 1% drop per kill wouldn’t hurt anyone… I don’t get why they’re not doing it. It’s been rare enough for long enough.
Something that’s only available for 2 weeks a year should’ve never been this rare to begin with.

Something you said before hit the nail on the head - after that many attempts it’s not even going to be fun if it drops.
It’s going to be “Oh gods thank f–k the suffering is over. I never want to see or even thinkg about it again, so now I’ll hide this cursed thing in my list and never use it ever.”
Basically the same deal as the Pandaria world boss mounts before the buff on them.

Pretty much. Besides the one off pp joke, I don’t think I’ll ever mount it if I got it.
Pretty much all the value or enjoyment I once held for this mount has now turned into “just let it end…”
Most of us farming this share that feeling, I’m sure. Hense why it needs a better change.

They should apply this drop logic to pretty much every rare thing in the game. Honestly, the alt-army approach to farming collectables through repeat kills is complete degenerate behavior and Blizzard should do everything to they can to stop it. It’s all cosmetics, they don’t affect the game in any way. Seeing someone with a rare drop is fun and when you can’t brute force your way to acquiring, it has a lasting prestige attached to it. There is nothing wrong with being lucky.
There’s a number of open world rare mobs which die so fast there isn’t even time for everyone to properly tag it and it is even more ridiculous when someone realm hops around on 10 of their characters to kill said mobs on different realms. Its long overdue for players to start thinking of their characters as an enhanced game experience with a different perspective rather than bonus chance for more loot.
Many of the world events could use some adjustments as well so grinding for currency isn’t such a horrible experience. Wasting 3 hrs of your life traveling around the world on several characters one after the other is usually the most time efficient method of buying everything from the vendor. It is often much simpler to buy one item on five characters than buying all of them on one.
Not having many alts makes for the most miserable experience ever, but you’re not actually enjoying playing them, they’re just means to a goal and the whole process of kill, relog, repeat isn’t fun at all.
