Magic Broom

Make magic broom permanent mount achieved by:

Rare - Magic broom 1.5 sec cast - obtained by completing Hallow’s End achievements + questline by killing hard rare boss.

Epic- Magic broom instant cast, 500 mount achievement reward.

Thoughts?

This mount is really awesome, it’s been asked forever make it happen.

I agree there should be a broom mount perma on offer for doing all the HE achis.

However there should absolutely not be an instant cast version, as this would make this the only mount in the game with this functionality, quickly turning it from a “cool extra” into a “gameplay advantage”.

No mount should offer that kind of perk, beyond passenger seats and extra utility (vendors) mounts should not have differences between them.

An instant cast mount is a huge gameplay advantage in pvp and in gathering. Just ask druids.

I don’t think the broom will ever be insta mount outside of the event, even if we could keep it.

It will make it the compulsory get and use mount, and they don’t like that.

no, WoW needs more to look forward to, not less.

Spread love, not hate, isn’t that what the devs are clamoring for?

Equality for all classes!

Nah. It’s okay if classes have different perks.

It’s one thing for have a gameplay perk looked behind a class (you can freely choose) or game content tied to current affairs (like pathfinder).

It’s quite another to have them stuck behind stuff like collection achievements which require you to either farm old raids, etc to meet the threshold as that is coercing your gameplay habits against the current content in order to grab an advantage for current content. It’d be like sticking extra bags with huge slots or permanently reducing HS cooldown (or giving you a new low CD Oribos hearthstone), or unlocking new Maw flight paths for stuff like pet battle achievements.

Stuff like exalted with DA for those FPs? Sure. Makes sense.

I mean imagine if they locked an instant cast mount behind KSM? People would riot.

Not sure Blizzard will want to.

If such a mount existed (and if I owned it) it would be the only one I would ever use on any char except Druid.

Additionally I would not want any kind of logistical / power / qoL advantage to be tied to an achievement such as the 500 mount achieve.

That is to much fun. FUN IS NOT ALLOWED. Ask for something miserable and you have a better chance of getting. LIke a nerf to shamans class then they will do it.

I agree.
Having a temp brrom is useless for me as I don’t see the point in using it when I’ll have to go back to something else next week.
If it was to stay a temp mount then it should do some really cool things like fly much faster or be immune to boomerangs etc.

I asked back in 2010. Good luck though

We are so addicted and conditioned to refusing anything that makes the game smoother/more enjoyable that it’s actually scary. Kinda feels like wow is a big experiment on how to turn people into obedient masochists.

As a mount - sure.
Instant cast - Nope.

I care more about this:

I want to see the witch hats become permanent transmogs.

This is the bit most people want, insta-cast mount and Blizzard will not do it so it stuck on two classes. That’s if Monks still have the Monkey cloud.

How to make people who love wow into the burning legion full of hate and rage against it LOL.
