Stull bugged and I pretty much copy pasted the replies that Sylverstar made with pretty much the same result except instead of linking to wowhead they link to the forums and admit its a bug, with no actual resolution.
I get the GM’s cannot do anything (why even have GM’s) but the teeth grinding comes from doing this and not knowing it was bugged before you even started, as not loads of people but some will certainly come across this exact issue wasting their times also.
They need to start fixing some of these bugs. ATM it just seems they’re waiting for TWW release? Who knows. I’m keeping my fingers crossed to get my Ankoan rep back today…
Well, that’s an exaggeration. It’s true there are lots of very old bugs in the game. But they do at times fix old bugs, especially a bug like this which renders a mount uncollectable.
