To make the zone feel “dangerous”, when in truth it just makes it unbearable.

There’s also a “special encounter” in the beast warrens that can drop one.

Another from of time-gating, often confused with immersion.

Same reason you can’t mount at level 1. Same reason you don’t have all your skills at level 1. Same reason you can’t just create a character and do the latest raid immediately.

Progression. (wrongfully called gating these days by whiners)

Progression, to get something we have had since a year or 16 ago. Pfft.

We could back at level 40. They take that away just to give it back in a certain zone after like three weeks and you call that progression? Fantastic. There isn’t even a story explaining why we can’t mount there atm and why we need a specific mount to do so, is there?

You could not mount in ‘the maw’ at level 40.

I can keep stating this fact, if you want.

The real reason is so Blizzard can artificially increase the lifespan of certain content.

You really are narrow minded…anyways, well, did they specify a reason why we can’t mount there and need a specific one locked in Torghast thus locked behind our covenant’s Renown?

Im glad I cant mount there. Only reason people are complaining is because they have become dependent on their mounts and now only consider content that can be reached fast as worth doing. Even just taking a 3 minute walk seems to be too much for some people I guess smh.

I’m not narrow minded, I’m just not a whiner.

All you have to do is kill one of those mobs riding a mount in the maw and you have a mount.

Stop whining.

Glad you can’t answer my question, twice. So there is nothing to progress in, you just randomly get a mount after a few weeks.

Blizz’s intention was clearly to make players mindful of enemies, as when you’re mounted you can just run past everything, pulling everything and not care about enemies.

Minding enemies matters for the recovery system.

There’s many ways this can be done better - give enemies an ability that unmounts us, have us unmount in combat, or (and this is the best option) give enemies infinite leashes. The Maw is small enough that enemies can be made to never reset. Just let someone pull the entire dungeon and die immediately. Give enemies some better ability to chase and it’ll work.

The Maw’s level design isn’t good for a no-mount zone.

It’s not progression, it’s regression, they took away something we’ve had since lvl 20, c’mon lol

Do you RP walk everywhere? No? Then you’re just being a hypocrite here.

i am not lvl 1… no reason at all for no mount there…they just want to make ppl spend time for just walking from one side to other
