Why does every mount run must be like a torture?

seriously let us mount in a raid instance or make a shortcut to the boss that drops the mount. its ridiculous that we have to spend YEARS for a mount. you can just shorten the run because its still rng. but when we can get there faster there is atleast some fun. imagine farming invincible for 4 years every day on a few characters. and yes its a choice. but gaming should also be fun, and thats not what i get with this ridiculous long runs for something with a droprate 1 in 100.
in karazhan open the doors to midnight and in icc 25 hc let us straight use the portal to the lich king after killing saurfang, even with 1 shotting the runs are too long because of slow walking and timed things like the bugs between doors.

also back then we could share a lockout but thats no more.

Up until recently, we’re legacy raids on a weekly lock out?

Aside from that, if it was easy, everyone would have all the mounts. Does it frustrate me? Sure it does, but it is part of the game and feels better when you get a drop.

i was thinking in bed that if i start a new game it wont be and game with too much rng, my sub ends on december 5. dont know if i continue with christmass.

its already easy but it takes too much wasted time. and no not everyone would have every mount because its still rng. it cant be that hard to understand!

Universal cosmetic currency for pve items. Pretty much equivalent of marks of honor.
Comes from all pve sources at all difficulties.

Old armor sets, weapons, raid mounts, all at vendor.
Of course some things should be more expensive (read grindy) than others.

That would stimulate players to do more of current content including open world ones instead of being alone in old raids.

World would be more alive, and players can to collect desired items without RNG.

I have zero interest in current expansion. Only looking at all possibilitys i already get mental tired. Only go there for the vault and went there for weekly quests for bronze celebration tokens. Also i was about to quit because i didnt get any mount in the time i played but i saw the 20th anniversary came and so i bought a new sub. I got 3 mounts from anniversary as a drop. Already had the VoA mount. Got all skins i wanted from open world bosses. Raiding in lfr is stressful when i dont win items.
I geared a few characters nearly full epic around ilvl 590. Dont need over 600 for old content. Also all reputations and other nonsence from the expension i dont understand. Its just invincible that i want because never obtained it before. I got a set of warglaives what i wanted. Got 2x loque’nahak. Now also i want karazhan mount.

Can anyone tell me where and how i can get a bonus roll for mythic karazhan? Ty in advance. Wowhead is useless a big maze like google.

They might mean they have like 20 chars and every day they run 3x ICCs

I doubt that. What would happen is some one, somewhere would find the most efficient instance and ‘everyone’ would farm that one.

Isn’t this a bit contradictory? Why do you want invincible? It doesn’t sound like you enjoy the game overall, so why go for something on a daily basis, putting yourself through something you obviously don’t like just for pixels in a game you’re not even sure you’ll continue?

Mounts for me, has always been a “inbetween ques” activity, some I have gone hard for to get, some were just casually… But it’s odd to me that you would do this

its simple.
so you will pay subscription for this game longer ; - )

ever wonder why blizz not included ICC arthas skip ?

ever wonder why u cant skip sepulchere and shadowlands raids on alts despite main having skip ?

i can go on like this untill the morning and write u an essay about how they gatekeep but i go sleep gl with grind ; - )

It were my goals long ago. And i tried to quit the addiction to wow so had a break for 7 years. And because every other game with rng is bad i tried wow again. I ignored all free days back then till end december 2022 i accepted the 3 days and then after it i used the token i bought in 2015. My goals were set of wargalives of azzinoth. And got them. Also 2x loque’nahak on the same character. Also completed. I just want to know how the mount feel to fly. Yes there are some that look similar. I just cant get that out of my mind.

I am not a person that continue playing if only 1 goal is there that wont finish. Maybe i come back with christmass. Maybe i just continue playing and doing small tasks and stop caring that playtime continues while i dont play. I can also play other games.

Can’t you save a lockout on one character and share it with your alts in ICC.
You used to be able to. You still can in Ulduar for Mimiron’s head and in Firelands for those mounts. I’ve done these recently. Not tried ICC for a long time, I got Invincible years ago. Although I know the pain of running a long boring raid for years as I’ve been running Dragon Soul for years to get Blazing Drake and you can’t share the lockout in there (I’ve tried many different ways).

At least they’ve made DS a little less annoying recently with some fights being considerably shorter.

Some advice for anyone who is still running ICC after years of trying for Invincible:

Don’t bother with it, just put that time and effort into leveling alts (super fast now with the event) or use the ones you have. Wait for the weeks where Wotlk timewalking is active, next one happens after weekly reset. Complete the raid quest by killing Yogg-Saron. There are always skip groups up that allows you to go straight to the final boss.

The quest reward chest seems to have a significantly higher droprate of the mount than killing LK over and over. Me and 2 friends got it from that chest and we have not even done the Ulduar TW raid that many times. With all alts I tried getting hero pieces for I’ve run it less than 10 times in total and one of my friends got it from his first chest. I have also seen others happily announce they got the mount from the chest. It can drop Mimiron’s head aswell.

Tomorrow i gonne make a bug report. This rng is ridiculous. Just 3 more icc runs done for nothing. Dont believe why i am even playing this torture. And the topic about mounts should be 100% is gone i saw. I have 2 things on my wow wishlist and thats invincibles reins and mythic karazhan mount. Further i dont care about anything else. Gearing max lvl characters is just to run old content more easy. Other things that can be on my wishlist are only mounts with a low droprate. So why should i pay monthly subs if i am not sure if i would loot one.
This is crazy. And it makes me even more depressive. Some ppl game because escape from real life stress. But only wasting time bacause rng is bad (only on those bosses) i got all i want from 20th anniversary. But that one old goal is unfinished. If a dev reads this. Pls fix or boost my rng. I have 9 days playtime left. Pls make my month.

… but it’s not a bug.

If you had an addiction and still chose to return to it after 7 YEARS, then you absolutely brought it upon urself and I can’t help but to laugh at you lol

Laugh what you want. But i am not addicted to wow anymore. Now i can easely quit and ignore it.
But also i returned because all other games are bad. So tried this again. But this one also not brings much fun. The loot i get is just short happyness.

It can feel that way.
I’m beginning to think Blazing Drake is bugged. Has anyone seen it drop in the last 3 years??

Does feel pretty bad to run whole raids with no progress.
Later Raids have skips. Even SoO got a skip added. Dragon Soul did get some very good tweaks but a skip would have been better.

Anyone tried that Lock-out sharing on ICC recently? You can still do it on Ulduar and Firelands but not Dragon Soul. I used to do it on ICC years ago but they did change some of the lock-out system a few years ago.

That lockout is now shared. If you kill the lich king and then try it again on an alt, it says that you have to accept the cleared progress when entering the raid. If not accept you get teleported out.

And for ppl that say its just rng. I have an example of diablo 4. Some ppl killed the end boss 200 times on normal. 40 times on hard. And no shako drop. Some ppl killed the endboss 20 times and got a shako. Or a few shako’s in 100 runs.

Also ppl say that there is no programmer that can code without mistakes. So think about that.

I understand that they want ppl keep subscribed but this works for me the other way. If i feel i dont deserve the items i spend my time on then i search something else to get fun from. Cant understand players grinding for years.

I never understand why someone spend years to farm a mount that will never use … I have near 400 mounts without farming a single one and i still use the same from 15 years ago .

Like everyone is the same? Many like different things. And get happy from different things. Some like sunny weather. Some like snow.
