This one is still obtainable though.
Quit pretending like you actually listen to feedback
My brother in christ, this is them literally listening to feedback.

But they’re a death knight.
They did it once before too when they swapped a collecting reward from the Emerald Drake to the Felfire Hawk

Grats dude.
Great, I’m happy of this good news.
Please don’t forget to add another mount for the 450 mount achievement too.

I mean, I guarantee you that I for one don’t pay attention to mounts anymore because there are just so many of them and most of the time, I already have it.
I think you and others overestimate the incentive this would have in getting people to play the game. You also overestimate how many players actually enjoy running old content. What kind of selling point is it to say, “Well the game’s been out for 18 years, so you can run a lot of stuff by yourself to get mounts so you can get one mount?”
Like, if you want a special mount for 500, sure, fine, but it’s not a selling point. Mount collecting isn’t really what the game’s about in the first place.
I think there’s a sweet spot in the number of mounts available to players. Too few, and everyone’s riding around on the same things, and none of them are special. Two many, and you never see two players on the same one, so you have no idea which ones are special. There’s probably a middle point (that we passed long ago) that leaves room for the truly exceptional ones to be noticeable.
Make it fly, please.

Mounts are noted in spaces like BGs and Arenas, you’re right that the game has a ton of mounts which impact the collecting of them.
I could say the same about Mythic raiding and Gladiatior which both have special mounts, I’d like to see more casual content with their own unique reward and more frequently.
Blizzard created this problem, I got the 2 Million spider and 1 expansion later, there’s a spider from Arenas participation (vicious spider).
Could be wrong, but isn’t it 2,000 pets total, and not unique ones? I don’t think they would add an achievement that is literally unachievable.
Devs should do it, only that it should be obtained during this new expansion, that’s a goal, this kind of progress with new achievements every 4 years/ 2 expansions isn’t good for collectors.
Based on Blizzard’s past behavior, i wouldn’t think they would either but i wish they would.
Imagine two scenarios, in scenario one we have the current situation, mount collectors being hundreds of mounts ahead of the highest achievement and periodically getting an achievement when they log in on patch day, a trophy for a race they finished months/years earlier.
Scenario two would be adding an achievement that’s future proof, a goal to work towards in the months/years to come.
I know which scenario i would prefer, achievements are meant to be things we strive towards earning, not a pathetic toast that pops up when we log in patch/expansion day.

Unbelievably disappointing. I’m truly annoyed by this.
The only thing I care about is them making a 450 and 500 mount achieve that are super cool….the yeti is embarrassingly weak and they should be ashamed of themselves for even putting it as a placeholder.
It just shows how out of touch they are with their player base. Just like how most of their devs can’t get past 1400 CR in any rated PvP so they are out of touch with the rated community, I bet none of that have more than 200 mounts and get that there are people whose entire playstyle revolves around collecting.
I mean, it’s not that hard to add a new mount achievement every expansion. I don’t think it requires that much work for them. We are indeed behind by a few hundreds right now though.
these are already stretch goals for the majority of players - just because some people make that their primary aim in the game and have been playing decades doesn’t mean those people should be catered too.
you have 2000 unique pets?
This is the casual goal that collectors should have similar to Gladiators or Mythic raiders, there’s space for other goals. Just take a look to meta achievements for patches on BFA or the new Veilstrider title provided by https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=15654/back-from-the-beyond
It could provide a mount too, maybe we can have a mount per xpac after we complete a meta achievement similar to the most recent ones…etc, Devs already cater to small % of players on pvp and pve scenarios and casuals that collect mounts,pets,toys spent a lot of time in game too.
