Mount Farming? Yes - but lets also Mount buying since you can buy meanwhile nearly anything

Dear Blizzard employees,

The mount variation that is in the store is too small and a little lean, I think.

Please be so kind and add, if necessary, all open world boss mounts, all achievement mounts, all raid/dungeon boss mounts to the store. Of course, it would also be desirable to add the mounts that are no longer in the game.

This request is not only in our interest, but this campaign would ultimately bring you money. It’s simply unreasonable for players to wait hours for a mount that has XYZ spawn points + an inaccurate spawn timer. Because of all the chaos with the server merge, it’s terribly nerve-racking to farm a coveted mount. Therefore, I ask that my request be implemented immediately. -Thanks.

Best regards,

None of the store mounts can be obtained in game. The mounts earnt in game should not be added to the shop.

I would like to see them expand on Remix, moving to another expansion next time. A vendor is far more preferable IMO.

I would love if you get a slightly increased dropchance with every kill, It would feel like you work towards something and isn’t pure luck.

Well played but this part gave the bait away :smiley:

Hey, everything I’ve gotten from the store has been paid with in-game gold converted to Blizzard balance. Therefore it has been obtained exclusively through in-game grinding. Therefore they can be obtained in game, with only just 1 more middleman:

  • Gather gold → Spend gold on NPC to buy mount
  • Gather gold → Convert gold to Blizzard balance → Spend Blizzard balance on Store to buy mount.

Same thing pretty much!

Whilst i agree you can grind gold, they still arent available in the game.

I actually think allowing players to grind gold to buy shop items is a nice thing.

That is wholly different from adding all other mounts from the game as a greedy cash grab.

Of course, there are different opinions on this topic. However, I stick to my opinion.
Without any ifs or buts, ALL mounts would have to be made available in the shop.

There are certainly players who can invest more or less time.
For my part, as a full-time worker, I can’t wait for a mount that has a spawn time of up to 48 hours. On the one hand, this is not possible in terms of time and on the other hand, it is unreasonable. I had already written before that it should no longer have any meaning for the players anyway since the servers were merged. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you have something “apparently” but not special that you put out there in the city like you did 15-16 years ago. It’s simply a fact that the system gives you the impression that the players already own everything because they’re simply not the same players you see in the cities every day and even though my point here is SOLELY limited to my own greed.

This action would harm absolutely no one. Those who have the money and want to continue investing for Blizzard can do so in this way.
Those who call it a ‘‘cash grab’’ can still ‘‘farm’’.

I don’t think it’s a problem. You shouldn’t forget that the trading post has been around for a long time, where mounts that are no longer available are also made available!

I would like to state that I of course respect your opinions, after all we are in the forums where everyone can/are allowed to express their opinions/thoughts. But I’m still sending this request directly to Blizzard and I’m still asking for it to be implemented.

Best regards,

So you don’t understand worth and rarity, unlucky.

Of course I understand it. But apparently you only understand exactly what you want to understand. Therefore, the post was not addressed to those who have to post such comments but directly to Blizzard.
I don’t have time for an unnecessary discussion where my point is clearly stated.
It hasn’t been about ‘‘worth and rarity’’ for a LONG time, but yes, an opinion is an opinion, right.

The store is already bloated. We don’t need to tack in-game rewards on top of that. Don’t be a whale.

Uhhh what? When did that stop exactly? There are still mounts being added that are rarer to achieve and the rarer something is the more people want it, human psyche. It’s even to the point where some people spend the most of their game time to collecting them as a form of enddgame.

The second those mounts get added to the shop, all that gets thrown out the window and mounts become meaningless.

This is not an opinion it’s a fact based off of human psyche, and previous times this has happened, see the level boost and any numberr of videos on it.

Why are you still trying to convince ‘‘us’’ even though you are clearly aware that this is not the case.

Didn’t I give you an example? Why do you need more examples? It doesn’t matter AT ALL which mount you’re talking about. XYZ mount was ‘‘farmed’’ by xyz you may see this person once. After that, most likely never again. Because after your dungeon/raid event or after you log out/log in yyy player zzz player from I have no idea what kind of server you’ll see.

The fact is that it won’t do any harm at all because as you said it is indeed ‘‘meanigless’’ because the system itself gives the impression that everything has already been farmed/bought. So why not.

Man that’s unlucky, I do hope you understand why you’ll never get your wish.

The response that I typically get when I bring this out is “why do you care what other people have?”

Can you answer that question?

For example if you could still earn these mounts in the game, why do you care?

@Gilvion we’ll see about that :slight_smile:

@Dorphin

Should the question be directed at me? I don’t care in the slightest what others have or don’t have. I had already written that it was purely about my own greed.

I have absolutely nothing about the players who farm xyz etc. etc.
My only concern is that I don’t have the time to do it and if I did, I would do it. However, now with work etc. I can’t spend up to 48 hours at a spot that has several spawn points.

After work I want to be able to play and not sit around unnecessarily with zich players arguing about different factions this that that… in short, it’s an unreasonable expectation. What is there still not to understand?
Surely it doesn’t matter to anyone who invests their money, how and where?

The funny thing about that question is I like to feel some form of reward afte my efforts, cause even if it’s something meaningless like pixels on the screen it’s still something I can look back on and go: “Hey I did something there”

It’s also something you can show off to other players if it was hard like a rare mount or something that matches your transmog, like if I’ve put in the effort of making a good mog and get a mount for it, it feels great seeing the “You’re mog is sick” text, gives me atleast some joy.

Cause in the end we are social creatures and what the people think does somewhat effect us(obviously some more then others) but we do care, and within wow as a ecosystem mounts provide a unique ability to show off previous achievements.

But when it all becomes meaningless and purchasable by real life currency then why try in game insteaad of getting a job and then buying all the harrrd to get ones instead of “actually playing the game”, hope it helps.

Who knows, would probably be around the time it goes bankrupt and free to play so maybe someday.

@Gilvion

You continue to try to bring up a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with my topic.

You talk about ‘‘social creatures’’. Didn’t you note that the social aspect of World of Warcraft has already started to die out since WOTLK?

How come? - Simple: Dungeon Finder, a very simple and simple tool, helped ensure that you don’t have to communicate with people in any way to run dungeons.

What came next? LFR in CATA you no longer needed a guild to participate in the raid content.

Later, of course, the server merger with different servers.

Don’t you realize how solo-friendly WoW has become? So please don’t tell me about social aspects!

It’s just nerve-wracking to see that you have to tolerate different people on your main server from not only different servers, but even from different regions, which also makes farming much more difficult and it no longer brings joy but rather anger!

I am very confident that my wish will come true and no, it certainly won’t take as long as you claim. It didn’t take that with all the solo friendly actions, nor with the LFR, nor with the ‘‘follower dungeon’’ system.

Oh yes, spoiler: Don’t be surprised if we get follower raid and follower m+ soon. Just saying that.

That is a fair point but we are in an mmo, just because something gets more accesable doesnt mean the social aspects importance isnt there.

Also, LFR counts as raid content? Lol.

Oh no, people in my mmo, you sound like you dislike the social aspecct, which might cause you some distress in the near future should you continue to engage with so much socializing.

With the priority of pay for ease and a solo player experience being your go to points, I highly recommend Genshin impact or Wuthering Waves, both of which offer a very good solo player experrience with the ability to pay for in game progress.

I hope you find a solution to this issue you seem to have, although I don’t understand it you might be speaking for a small minority and all opinions are interesting if nothing else.

Good Luck and you really made me appreciate that blizzard doesnt look at the forums. :dracthyr_heart:

I don’t see any point in throwing out a ‘‘lol’’. LFR may be a ‘‘braindead-zerg’’ run. But don’t you kill the bosses that are available in the raid content? Let’s please leave this unnecessary discussion behind.

Furthermore, as a little additional information, I have been playing this game since the last quarter of the original BC. I don’t know how long you’ve been playing and please read this part carefully as this is not an offensive to you at all. I would like to tell you that I had already put all this behind me. The WoW community as you may or may not have noticed is no longer what it once was.

Therefore I rate ALL solo aspects that Blizzard includes as pure ‘‘W’’

Either you didn’t understand my point or you don’t want to understand the point. I stay true to my WoW. But if you like social more, can you switch to ff, for example? ← Do you see how unnecessary and ridiculous that sounds? Please spare me these pointless suggestions with games that aren’t even close to what WoW is. (at least not for me)

You THINK that I’m speaking for a small minority but I can 100% guarantee you that as soon as Blizzard put let’s say the spectral tiger in the shop for 100€/$/£ whatever, that AT LEAST 75% of the playerbase would buy it without question!

Therefore, I assure you whether you want it or not, I know for good reason that they will implement it.

I much prefer the in game vendor. There was a game I used to play that would have a single currency that was account wide. You could collect this currency on any of your alts and would available to them all but the currency itself was a bit grind to get and took a long time.

Any mount or collectables in the game from past events or past expansion were available to purchase with this currency from a vendor. Naturally any mounts or collectible from the current expansion had to be collected the RNG way.

We could look at the TP as the wow alternative but is much much slower and monthly gated with the collection of currency. Currency can also only be collected once per account.

So yes a vendor would be much more desirable.
