Hello there
I have spent quite a few tries killing Rustfeather. No luck so far. And not giving up. Ive seen the mount drop 2 times while ive been in big groups.
Recently the drop chance for corpse eater has had its mount drop slightly increased. Seeing how the spawn rate for rustfeather is longer (and more random??) And its in some way outdated content. I think it would be nice with a slight increase in drop chance on it.
Meanwhile that spot will remain the most common mount off spot in the game i guess.
Its just not an enjoyable farm in any way. I enjoy farming old raid mounts more. Maybe thats just me.

Its on a set time 30mins between each kill and can be killed daily.
The ones who have been buffed you can kill 3 times every 2 weeks massive difference .
Rust doesnt need a boost .
I guess they are both around 0.5% chance. And with and with corpse eater spawning less frequent, then the logic makes kinda sense.
And i know they wont buff the chance for Rustfeather mount to drop. Blizzard loves people spending time in game doing trivial stuff to make the subscription worth. Got my malevolant drone after about 20 kills. And the Rustfeather… well lets wait and see. Killed it with 5 alts each day for a very long time with no luck. It just feels more rare then the drop from Sha. But maybe its the wait time that makes the grind for it seem so horrible. And it doesnt spawn on a 30 min interval. Theres a spawn circle in mechagon. So it can be longer then 30. But nvm that. Its a horrible grind. But i guess thats mount farming.
425 rust kills for me way past that for the other rustbolt mount . Havent even started on 8.3 until i get soundless and the harvester mount out of the way.
You should also do it with multiple alts, if you arent already.
I dragged all my alliance alts (one of each class) to it every day once I discovered it. Still did it for quite a long time until it dropped. Didn’t count the kill count for rust, but it has to be a lot.
Or… In the time you spent camping Rustfeather, you could have done the Mechagon achievement that awards thevsame mount. I would guess you would have more fun to boot.
Hi
I suggest you dont do that:
For now all 8.3 are quite “easy” to obtain because there is a good amount of people helping the community by opening groups. I got all mounts in 8.3 without much troubles ( & a bit of luck 
). The more you wait, the less people will be interested in them & it will take longer to get a kill for each of your characters.
That being said, I really hate 8.2 & 8.3 outdoor mounts hunt. You really HAVE to get as many kills as you can with an army of alts if you are interested in it because it will be so much more time efficient to do it now ( while there is people opening group very frequently ) than later where most kill will be done solo while waiting ages for a spawn ( & the number of outdoor phase will drop dramatically)
Good luck on your mount hunting !

Mounts with these kind of drop rates should have had “pity” timers…
Yes
I dont mind when rare items come from super low roll chances ( such as 1% drop rates dungeon mount). In this case you want it faster, you multiply your roll counts … but the rarity does not come from the event itself
I don t mind either when rare items come from very elusive event/ennemy ( such as TLPD, void talon). You want it, you hunt it … but you get your prize if you succeed in it
But in scenario where you have both at the same time … it is just not fun at all. Who want to hunt again & again something for such a little chance to get reward …
It creates really unfun scenario where you feel “obliged” to do it as fast as possible to benefit of other people also coming to this conclusion.
