12 Month sub doesn't contain Auspicious Arborwyrm for classic

I just bought the 12 month sub recently. I play classic…

Why are there 2 different Auspicious Arborwyrm mounts in the item shop? 1 for retail and 1 for classic

I thought I owned it (I play classic) to find out I don’t? And that its only the retail version of the same exact mount? lol What?— kinda bummed.

Why are we confusing the player? The practice appears predatory; having the same mount for 2 different games, and it needing to be purchased 2 seperate times to actually own it in its entirety.

This is indeed predatory. I understand they are trying to make money, but this is so cheap to the consumer. There are totally better and less scummy ways to make $

I googled that mount…

Just want to ask, what are you going to do with the goofy tree dragon?

Did you even bother to read the shop page?

For cata classic you get the Nightmarish Emerald Drake. Its right there.

Get baited i guess?

Don’t blame the OP, lots of things now days are deceptive by nature; especially items on a MTX store for AAA games.

Idk I had no idea what was included in the 12 month sub.

Took me about 30s to figure it out…

So yes I will blame the OP.

I saw exactly what came in it to, but I thought it came with 2 mounts, which it does but one isn’t for classic? But it is for an extra 25$

Y’all seem to be missing the point of the post

There is only ONE Arborwyrm, whoich you get for both 6 months and for 12 months sub. If you scroll down, you can see exactly which pets, mounts ect you get with each sub.
Blizz is for once not trying to chat anybody … only tricking us into subbing for 12 months for the same monthly fee as 6 months,m but including more frills.

I also never looked at this page for a long, long time, as my sub ran automatically until I cancelled it some tine ago (6 months - still running).

So yes, the blame lies with OP and his reading comprehension skills.

It’s not a lie, the mount is available in classic as well as retail, but they must be paid for twice. You can find the mount in the in game store and I have seen people in the game w it. The 6 & 12 month sub only give it to you in retail, to unlock it in classic you must pay an additional 25$. I have already spoken with a GM

If it is this one from the Pet store:

Then nope. The mount is useable in World of Warcraft® which is Blizz’s way of saying Retail, and the pet for Wrath of the Lich King Classic™. You cannot use Arborwyrm in Classic. I wonder the GM did not tell you this straightaway.

If you read closer, it even says:

Nope!

You’re entirely wrong you can, and I have even seen the mount while playing

Furthermore

You can literally find two mounts with the same name in the launcher shop…

And in the details it will say for each 1 with the same name

*Only available in wow classic progression realms

*not available in wow classic

Well… Which one is it? Lol

This is what I’m saying bro

I got the 12 month and it only gives it to you for one game, that’s literally stupid and predatory… making people buy the same item over and over for different games? That’s a new low blizzards

Yes I found it.

There IS actually 2 different Arborwyrms in-game.

  • One for Retail - which you can have by buying it in the shop OR by subbung for 12/6 months.
  • One for Classic progression (now Cata) which is only available in the shop.

I think - for once defending Blizz - that they would like players really wanting a non-Classic mount in Classic to pay extra.
Which I find OK. I was one SO nog liking the abomination Mount for Classic first time around.
Totally fair!

Thank you.

I also like that I have the ability to own it in classic, but it should’ve been with the 12 month sub— why make me pay for something 2x ?

They are right.

I disagree, you must respect the consumer and making someone pay for the same mount, especially it being a new one x2- is uncool

Well I disagree with you. If you want something in Classic, that was not there originally, it’s fair that you get to pay extra.

Dude you are missing my point, it should’ve been in the 12 month sub, they shouldn’t be charging people twice for the same EXACT item in different games. It’s one thing if it’s a race change but a mount… that’s just greed and scum

I agree, it should be buyable in general

It’s YOU missing the point. Had it been a Cata mount, I’d have agreed with you. It is the non-Classicness of the mount what’s the difference here.

Ight all I’m going to say is this and I’m done.

Making the same exact mount available in 2 games, but only gifting 1 version of it in the sub, was very much a mistake on their part, purely it showed their rear ends in terms of greed $. They just want you to be their never ending money cow to milk.

And
I don’t play retail, so why gift me stuff in a game I DO NOT PLAY? That’s how this issue started in essence.

Yes I would like the mount, yes I thought it was part of the 12 month sub.
&
Yes I think it’s not just an accident, but by design and is predatory to the consumer

Obviously you didn’t lol. It clearly says that version of the mount is for retail only lol.

Classic gets a different mount.

Enjoy spending yet another $25 for pixels lol

They clearly learned their lesson with the /spit drama in TBC over the Reawakened Phase-Hunter mount
