Don’t other holiday mounts like HH have the chance increased on all drops, though? Would be lovely if the chances were the same, basically.

Every mount in the game got same drop on all kills, just this big love rocket is special for blizz. Makes no sense to have x1 mount in the game that’s different from all other ones.
The design is to keep players hostage to their addiction, lure them with fake promises and pump MAU.
This is how toxic relationships work. And don’t last.
if korean grinders have taught me anything is that if its 0000.1 % before 0000.2 % is at least a 100 % increase and the devs will brag about it BDO comes to mind where you have all this xp up items that never seem to actually do anything 
once your past 61 because the increase is so tiny so even if you have 1000 % xp it barely registers 
Another day of farming. 76 attempts so far. With 19 characters it takes about an hour and a half to do all the runs.
Do you know what happens after approx 90 minutes of disappointment? I’m done. Don’t have any desire to play a single second more.
After 15 days of this, I will be (…)ing done.
And yes: it matters for me enough to give up on WoW again.

I got asked yesterday by someone IRL “why aren’t you at the pc? This is weird for you.”
Then realized I hadn’t returned to my pc after finishing my runs at 12. It was 8 pm.
Today, I barely played after my runs as well, and I was playing another game, not WoW.
This farm drains all the motivation I have to play WoW. When last week I was enjoying it quite a lot.
Think after these 15 days I might just play something else for a while.

Or a bit of both? Say, the standard 1% for every alt and like 3% for the first try on any event mount is reasonable.
Is there any info on how high the increased droprate actually is percentage wise?
I think they would be called out for it and panned to oblivion. My guess is from 0.03 to 0.1%
300% is a “great improvement” but you know…

It would be fun to see someone actually do the statistics on how much this “great increase” actually boosts your rate of success of obtaining this mount, in the grand scheme of things.
Let’s say you do 60 attempts per day for all 14 days, so 840 attempts in total. How much does this change from 0.03 to 0.1 for 1 character per day per account even increase your chances of obtaining the mount?
In other words: 14 times 1 x 0.1 + 59x 0.03 VS 14 times 60 x 0.03
My guess is the increase is laughably marginal. The whole point of addressing this was seemingly due to Blizzard reckognizing this agonizingly tedious farm sucks, but this “fix” accomplishes absolutely nothing in regards to solving the tedium. Tons of people are still stuck farming this daily on all of their characters, so we’re still at square one and the core problem has not been addressed in any meaningful way…
Good job!
Day 6 and nothing once again!
It’s been absolutely mind-numbing to run all my alts through a boring dungeon for a 0.03% drop chance.
9 days left, do I think I’ll get it? Absolutely not until we get a buff to a 1% drop chance.
Please buff it more and save us the suffering, thanks.
I asked a friend who works as an assistant professor at a university (in the field of statistics). Here is what he told me in regards to the drop rates (MATH WARNING):
"An increase from 22.28 % to 23.04% considering the event to get the item at least once.
before the update: Probability of zero items: 0.9997^(60 times 14), so 1-0.9997^(60 times 14) is the chance to get one or more. This is equal to 22.28%
after the update: Zero items: 0.9997^(59 times 14) times 0.999^(1 times 14). One or more is 1-0.9997^(59 times 14) times 0.999^(1 times 14) = 23.04% "
The above is based on doing all 840 attempts, so 60 characters per day for 14 days (which is what I’m doing). It is also assuming the “great increase” was to 0.1% up from 0.03% drop chance (for 1 char per day), which many have theorized is the case, based on the data we now have.
If we want to be generous and assume the daily 1 char per account drop rate was buffed to 1% (and not the theorized 0.1%), it would look like: 1-0.9997^(59 times 14) times 0.99^(1 times 14) = 32.20%
Calling this a “greatly increased” drop chance is borderline offensive imo…
Day 7! Give it up for day 7! Will we get a better buff on day 7? ☆ No! ☆ Cause they probably don’t even see our feedback.
I reckon they don’t browse these forums for feedback, but there’s a Reddit topic with over 120k views on this they may have seen: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/10zlr4e/love_rocket_mount_drop_probability_after_buff/
I got it this early morning at 5 AM with my first try.
Maybe you should try it with the server reset time.
Maybe the rockets drop in the first-first-first attempts for the day, dunno.
Day 8, Nothing.
ahahaha blizzard trollll i just had a run where a 63 druid got the mount and said guys i already have it anyone wants it>>>we all rolled. i won… CANT TRADE…AHAHAHAHA xd
They increased the chance they didn’t say that you will get it
it’s still RNG and you may find yourself farming that mount next year
Of course you can’t trade, it’s looted within a BOP item. Nice troll attempt, though.
I think I read a few years ago that the loot is decided when you recieve the box, not when you open it. Sadly another issue I did not store any link for.
