Store Mount - Broom?

Hey Blizzard, where has your talent gone? No, really serious. YOU are the company that captivates me and millions of others to your game. Now you come with a broom like this as a store mount? I ASK YOU! Why not have a plague dragon/protodrake or something like that that artificially binds you to the purchase instead of some un-cool broom?

You can do it better, so please do so…

Weird american national broom day is only in february🤔. But yeah the broom is gona 4th of september so its definitly just a halloween thing

Am i the only one in here who would say just dont release any more store mounts and make them ingame goodies instead?

Ps: I know that this mount was an ingame goodie. I just dislike stuff sold in the shop.

It’s for Halloween. Probably the only thing about that pagan holyday that wasn’t deemed offensive in the US. This year.

Where I live the flying broom is associated with another holiday, coming on 6 January (Befana) - it’s actually more from Italy but media and geographical/cultural proximity made it popular in southern Switzerland as well.

thats what happens to holidays when american companies get their hand on them. The same way they created santa to be a thing during christmas from another holiday in the beginning of december.

Santa and his wife lives in Finland in Rovaniemi, theres even a village named santa village :santa::mrs_claus:

Also broom mount for me and everything else related witchery aswell!

Well i guess santa also is a mix of different holidays then i was actually referring more to sinterklaas wich is celebrated mostly in the netherlands and belgium.

That certainly explains the reindeer and him living in a icy cold area

It’s a completely different holyday tho, halloween in the US is the same date as the european one, so they got that right. But yeah it’s commercialised af like most holydays, the only positive thing for me is, there are lots of horrormovies releasing around that time :sunglasses:.

Well i do love horromovies atleast, but at the same time it feels so weird that with all the american movies and the internet halloween actually starts becoming a thing here. When i was a kid it was just a thing from american movies. But now theres actually kids trick or treating

It doesn’t even look different from the trading post broom, they have no shame putting a barely recoloured mount on the shop and slap 25 dollahs on it. And people buying this lmao

Hmm there was this broom from trading post atleast that one can use all year for their witchy looks :jack_o_lantern: :black_cat: :mage:

Those days are gone i’m afraid.

Just think about it, What if headless horseman mount, love rocket, Brewfest ram/Kodo were store mounts instead of ingame drops.

It’s the same broom but now you just get to pay real money for it!

I was wondering why I dont see it, I guess that would explain it :dracthyr_a1:

I agree with you, but on the other hand; the subscription fee hasn’t increased in 15 years or so. Not even to account for inflation.

Without this being anything else than my own speculation, I think we can thank the shop for much of that.
