What Blizzard should’ve done.
Blizzard: Thank you for supporting our company for 15 years, we will grant everyone a free lvl 100 boost.
What Blizzard did:
Blizzard: You’re just money to me, and to prove how worthless your loyalty is I will give everyone who doesn’t play my game a free lvl 100 boost now buy my store mount you consumer filth.

Wait ? They canceled the Deathwing mount / pet / raid / new bg?

You again fail to comprehend that people with 10 to 15 year of sub time expected special anniversary gifts.
Deathwing, pet and etc are free for all, not the exclusive anniversary gift for dedicated subs.
You got the statue than. Other games give nothing.
Statue is paid for.
I’d like my free level 100 as well, been loyal customer without a break.

lul what?
dudu, you are malfunctioning 
orc/footman statue is for Blizzy con ( for $ )
rag statue is for collector box ( for $ )
bois who played this game for 15 years got 15 seconds video about a 15$ mounts.
masterful PR

As far as I know the deathwing mount will be available through a timewalking raid so non raiders are excluded. Unfortunately, it’s pretty clear that Blizzard only includes raiders and those who spend money on the cash shop these days even for an event like the 15 year anniversary.

hey i do it only when mog is good, but i am sure TW raids are cakewalk.
unless your concern is FPS then… I would remind you that TW usually have old models, so FPS should be fine as well.
My concern is not FPS at all. I have done the timewalking raid for the glaive transmog and it’s not something i would ever like to do again, i am not into organized raiding anymore. I still consider it wrong that something like an event reward should be offered exclusively through raiding.
hehe, I like m+ and pvp.
so I can join raid hate train, if you have a spot ^^
It’s not that i hate raiding, there are people that enjoy it and i have done in the past. My objection is that a reward for an anniversary event shouldn’t be locked behind it. I like crafting but still i would object if this mount was offered through a profession recipe, for example. Imo anniversary events should be inclusive and organised raiding is not.

Why the fk in the world a “loyal” player would need a lvl 100 char boost? are you all stupid?
I mean, you complain about “i’m subbed sinc evanilla and i dont get a gift” but you somehow dont have at least 1 char x race and at least 1 char x faction? wtf XD
wtf this make no sense
you had to have played from basically day 1, with NO sub break to get that statue. doesn’t count. ps. what new bg? besides, i’d rather have game rewards than irl ones usually cause 1) i dont want blizz knowing my personal details to send the statue to, 2) like many i presume, i dont have much physical space in my accommodation and would rather not clutter it where possible 3) dust gets everywhere 
also, other games can give stuff. GW2 gives a few useful items and im quite sure SWToR did as well. im sure many other long term games do too.
i dunno if things have changed, but TW BT was a shambles when i tried it about 2 TBC TW’s ago. dunno if things have changed, but yeah. doing that 9 times could be painful. and so as pointed out, depending on how hard the encounters actually are, this may be a mount just for raiders. like
MC 40 which came back a couple years ago. that was fairly painful if you were in a bad group. same could happen for these 9 bosses. and im presuming they are JUST the 9 end bosses? not the entire raid, cause that would be a total joke!
yes. and many defending the stance are saying that we get our rewards every year for being subbed during the anniversary. we’ve had basically the same “thank you present” the last what, 3-4 years now? some TW tokens (yay /sarcasm) and an xp buff that is obviously useless if you are 120! on one of the years, they even didn’t change the text of the present reward and it had the text of the previous year! they just copy and pasted it and didn’t even check the wording!!!

So you don’t want a reward for long time player. But for long time player we’re you are 100% included ?
Do the raid than ? Don’t expect stuff for free.
Maybe I am mistaken but this event will be a timewalking raid like BT and Ulduar and not available through LFR like MC in WoD. Correct me if i am wrong though.

there should be rewards for long time players, but the restrictions on that were far too harsh. ‘unbroken sub for 10 years’ if i am not mistaken. most people would have probably taken a little break if not in the first 6 years, then in the declining cata/mop time. that we haven’t deleted the game from our computer and sub periodically should be enough to value us.
did i say i wont? :s dont expect stuff for free when blizz are giving away stuff for free to a (arguably) less deserving group? like many have said, the people playing NOW are the ones that have kept wow going, not the people who left. and to be clear, i have nothing against the ones who’ve left. everyone of them have a good reason to have left. they should be left to their new found experiences and blizz should focus on either 1) the current playerbase or 2) new players who’ve never played. returning players should be counted in “current playerbase”.
very good point. i dont know. i’ve not looked into any of this beyond the picture of the mount. which might not even be the mount, but actually deathwing himself from the raid lol yeah, that will also increase the bar of people actually getting it quite a bit i think
Totally ignoring the 3 time warped taid tiers, pet, deathwing etc?
It will be available through LFR so that everyone can experience it and get the mount.

Good to know. At least, it won’t be another occasion for the boost sellers to take advantage of it.
