This is FOMO in a nutshell. Try to see it as it’s just another mount and you can only ride one at a time. So even if you had it you might not use it all the time.
If you really wanted it, you would have known - its a crappy mount and I have had it since it was initially out as part of the year sub deal. Never use it.
“seeing this mount around would be very distressing.” - very odd…
If you are distressed about missing a mount… I might suggest you take time off gaming. That is some weird personal issue. I would be worried about you running in to some actual hardship in life if this upsets you.
I have some rare mounts which I have farmed and the hype/joy of having them fades away. Now I’m using the squid thingy from ZM as my go to in all zones besides DF ones.
tbh, I ended up buying it. I had a really big day on the Auction house, and saw that it was limited, so I cashed in a few Tokens for it.
I rode it once and it just felt a bit rubbish and wrong riding it around. The mount once had a bit of a Legendary status to it, even though it was Promo/Store mount, it was a part of history. I honestly felt like I had no right to be riding it. So I just removed it from my favourites list and I’ll never use it again (and never show it off either).
But I will agree on this one. It’s inclusion on the In-Game shop and announcement that it was only available for 2 Weeks, was absolutely FOMO.
However, the 99.99999% of everything else that some people on these forums seem to label as FOMO is not.
I am not sure if it helps you feel better OP, but there are speculations that this mount will be one of many which will show up in the new, upcoming Trading Post? feature.
Hopefully we will see it shop there. Even if it is a low poly mount it still looks pretty decent. A perfect paladin/priest mount.
I didn’t notice that it was gone from shop. I always wanted to get one and I was very excited to see it in the shop. I bought ofcourse but I never thought it was gonna be removed. I hope they bring it back, it’s a cool mount. Worths every penny in my opinion.
Tbh I didn’t know it was leaving till a few days before when wowhead posted it hence I bought then (fomo I guess) want the annual pass but was a kid. Afaik blizzard never advertised it was limited time so that sucks that you weren’t able to get it
FOMO is fine, you do not deserve everything and it is good to see ‘rare’ items and mounts you cannot get - people at the time got them and that is perfectly fine. Why would I want to see everyone in the game with exactly the same mounts and items?
