They are releasing a new mount for M+ in the next season that requires to get 2850 M+ Rating. Not even many are pushing the rating up to that except for 1% of the players. I think it would be far better if the mount only required M+ 2500 rating which is far more reasonable and less time consuming.

The point with this mount is to add another progression point to work towards to. 2.5k already has rewards and does not need extra.
Players have been asking for rewards inbetween Keystone Hero and 0.1% title for quite a while now and Blizzard is finally making that happen.

All 12s isn’t even close to 0.1%
Top 4% ish
This is good tbh.
I usually stop at the Portals, but now it gives me a reason to go further and keep enjoying M+ above +10.
Nice addition.
Although I think the M+ only recolour of the Season Transmog would have been a better reward.

Top 4% without any incentive roughly, yes. But I suspect a great many people who currently stop at 10 can see this as an aspirational goal.
I usually stop at 10’s and start playing alts up to 2.5k. So this is a good reason to carry on a little further.

I wouldnt go as far as to say “a great many”.
This season and mainly the gap from 11 to 12 has nuked the motivation to push higher for so many people that a decent chunk of those wont even bother trying anymore.
Thats not to say that i dont think that there will be a higher % of players that get that mount next season, i just dont think it will be as much as you seem to imply.
Well Season 2, 3, and 4 usually get progressively easier. So reaching 12’s will probably feel more like reaching 8s or 9s this season.
And it does seem that Blizz has listened to feedback about tank busters and unnecessary casts.
That gap got significantly smaller as the season changed. The main issue is players snapshot their initial experience and the dissatisfaction spreads like wildfire throughout the community leading to widespread apathy.
Youre right, but that just means that unless the season has a flawless start, the same thing will happen again, reinforcing my point.

2850 rating will be much easier next season because the +12 affix won’t be as brutal as it is currently. If I’d have to make a bet, I’d say 10% of the M+ players will manage this in season 2, if not more, because now there’s actually a reward for pushing higher.
When does the seasonal end goals end? There is already too much to collect now. Gladiator mounts (which is far out of my reach), Mythic and Pvp tournaments banners toy, Pvp solo shuffle healer banner toy, Solo shuffle banner toy, battleground blitz banner toy, Delves rewards. What’s next?
Not everyone is interested in all those different Endgame pillars.
Id even go as far as to say only a minority goes for all 3.
There are a lot of m+ only players and for them this is a great addition.
I was waiting for someone to start thread about it 
I personally am ok with it cause now at least there is something for me.
I only did portals and now when there is a mount i’m definitely gonna push to 12 keys.
I was never motivated by rio so after completing portals there is not much to go for and 0,1% title is not for me.
We will see .I won’t be keeping my hopes high though after ion interview . I haven’t seen anything from him that will solve the problem m+ has atm .
Maybe it is time to give the mettle to somebody else then ion and thank ion for his past services and be done with it .

good decision
they must add a tabard for 3000-3200
Are you suggesting Chris Metzen?
No, my point is a lot of the changes players would want to alleviate the difference between 11 and 12 already happened in this season, they just happened after they’d formed their opinion and nothing short of nuking difficulty from orbit was going to change it.
