Will the grinning reaver store mount ever be available again??
Missed out on this mount and there is no reskin like it with the skull etc.
I would pay double for it!!

Oh no you mentioned you like store mounts. Run before the angry mob comes to get you, I’ll hold them off in the meantime.

your guess is as good as anybody elses. nobody knows but probably not. 
maybe it ll come back as some special deal in the future but yeah, who knows, really.

It’s not so simple. The fact I really hate store mounts, and other store items (and this is only my opinion, not opinions of other ‘streamers’ if you will), is because they are always really unique and good.
I understand this, ofcourse. If they weren’t good and if they were just reskins, noone would buy them. I get it. But to the actual players, collecting vanity items for years, it’s just a slap in the face. We get tons of recycled models, tons of same transmog items, majority of them are even very old models (no animations, not to par with 2022 standars). Then you go either datamining or you check wowhead, thinking ‘ohhh, so cool, this mount is so amazing, wonder where it will be obtained since it’s such a unique model’. Oh, it’s another store mount.
Grinning reaver being one example, since it’s a totally unique mount. On the transmog side, look at the new celestial set. One of the best, if not the best i’ve seen for a long time. Obviously it’s a micro transaction.
Now, I wouldn’t be so mad at micro transactions, if the game would be F2P, but IT’S NOT!
And yeah, I could afford to buy the whole store, no problem. It’s not a financial problem for me. But I refuse to do due to principles, and because I feel scammed for such items existing.
Another point is the frequency of store items. Did you notice the pattern? The more the expansion sucks, the more store items they will release. WOD had the most store mounts. Well duh, since the expansion sucked and subs weren’t enough. Same for BFA and now SL.
I don’t mind expansion mounts (the mount you get with buying the expansion), and the 6 month sub mounts. For me, this is prefectly ok due to the reason I described above. I already paid 65 EUR for 6 months of playing the game. Give me a reward for doing this for 4 years now. I deserve it. But I will never buy mounts / items from the store, to support this scam.

i get where you are coming from but i dont entirely agree because…
do you though? you pay a sub to access the game, nothing more, nothing less, blizzard owes you nothing. you arent special or deserving of more just because you ve been subbed for x amount of time.
just kind of seems entitled to me.
on the other side, i do agree that store mounts usually have a unique look and better quality while the in game mounts are just recolours most of the time, which is bad and could be better. the rest, i do not agree with though.

Maybe I worded it wrong, didn’t mean it like that I was talking purely for the 6 month mounts & other rewards they include in the 6-month bundle.
Ofcourse I don’t deserve anything more from the store, that would sound very entitled actually 
If people wanna pay for it, go ahead. I’m not envious either or anything.
If it was up to me though, I would order every single individual to boycott the store and the boring microtransactions. Maybe if that would happen (purely hypothetical ofcourse), we would actually see some of the rewards in the game for free, and for actually earning them via some interesting way, rather than swiping your credit card.

It might re-appear in one of those deal packs at some point, we simpy don’t know. Your guess is as good as ours.
To answer with what we know
Items in the See You Later Bundle may return to the Blizzard Shop and in-game shop at some point in the future.
So Blizzard did say they may return those items. Will they 100% return? we don’t know.
But if you want my opinion I think they’ll bring them back at some point, but no guarantee it would be anytime soon.
why do you offer only double the money? offer triple or more if you are serious!
if they bring back exclusives doesnt make them very exclusive…
coughs in mage tower
it wasnt exclusive though and who the hell gives a hoot about what others have or dont have. thats sad, really.

all the people who failed at mage tower 1000’s of times when it was up.
not really sure what this has to do with anything related to this topic.
^ was just answering your question.
because you might not (me neither tbh) we are the lucky few…
wasent it activision which tried to patent a A.i which purposely matches players with other players or bots who have store bought items in order to make them jealous and pay out for them themselves ?
they were very proud of that idea iirc when they pushed for it.
moral of the story is you’d be surprised just how many people are in denial about just how much they give a hoot about what they dont have but could have.
its one of the elements im pretty certain they use against players to get them addicted to games in the first place.
“must keep trying to get that mount asap… cause i will look bad if i dont have it when the event ends!!”
The real question is if the obsidian nightwing from recruit a friend will ever make a return. I like that mount (having it myself) and found it quite weird that they removed it.

Just buy it with in game gold. No one complains about 333k frogs, 500k+ lightforged and mechagin mounts but damn the store mounts

I just like lore and story behind the laughing skull clan etc, think it looks cool with orcs. Wish there was like a yellow or black reskin like the mobs on draenor.
Truth is if game is good no one cares for shop mounts but its almost february AND WHERE THE F IS NEXT PATCH they clearly have a lot of time…
Cool mount OP! Never seen it before, had no idea it existed. Hope there’s a way for you to obtain it, gl hf
