The whole Blizzard way of looking at things is how long it takes. They probably point to all of us doing this repeatedly and say “Look how much they enjoy this!”
And they probably look at all of us posting about it on the forums as community engagement even if everything being posted is negative.
of course it can.
this was never in question.
Wasn’t questioning it in the first place. Was just trying to instill hope in others.
I don’t mean to belittle anyone’s feelings but if a mount is making or breaking your enjoyment, you have to ask yourself why you are pinning your emotional state on a mount. You fell down a rabbit hole over this thing. At first you probably thought it was a fun grind, and then you kept on falling, creating armies of alts to farm it. Maybe it’s time to you know, put it aside after this year and climb back up?
No manuscript or rocket for me yet either (running 5 toons through it daily). Tomorrow is the last day ill be able to run it. This may be the first time I don’t get an event manuscript .
I feel for you QP, I can tell how badly you’ve wanted the mount since you started the thread
Finally got it this year on a fluke run. I spent years farming it diligently and gave up two years ago. It finally showed up. I wish I could say I was more overjoyed, but it feels bittersweet.
just because i’d look fabulous on this thing, doesn’t mean it makes or breaks my enjoyment.
however, owning it would enhance my enjoyment immensely.
Thanks for the support!

Congrats on the love rocket my friend, happy for you.

That’s my status every year…
I picked the mount up a few days ago and had no idea how rare it was. I also picked up Infinite Timereaver the same week without knowing the mount existed. Pure luck.

That’s a funny pic
I don’t know what # day it is, I’ve mentally checked out - 0/780 though

Day 13: 715 Attempts…
I’m a clown doing this grind…it seems like another year without anything, not even the new thing that’s the manuscript.
Two more days of trying left and another year of wanting to punch a dev for this lousy droprate, especially since it’s supposedly buffed but have the nerve to add an additional drop with similar droprates. Do better.

I’ve been chasing this stupid rocket for so long now I refuse to let it beat me.
holiday event” that is so unfun, depressing and toxic.
To be fair … This is basically what Val-day is for a great many people irl.
Maybe their aim is to make it feel “real” in game and leave a majority of players disgruntled and heartbroken.
Which I guess in that sense … They succeeded.
Last, possibly second last day (should have 3 hours after reset Monday morning) and I got it. Quick napkin math and it would be about 1200 attempts overall for me, 28 or whatever chances from the last 2 years at the higher drop rate.
Still no dragon armour, but who cares, not like I would have used that anyway.
