River otters have thumbs, dunno why these ones don’t. Also why isn’t this otter’s armor covered in the skulls of his enemies?

Regarding this Scenario 2 – No FOMO is Applied as mentioned by Qyune comment, there’s also the fact that any removed mount from the game impact old players that are into collecting due to the frequency of achievements as mentioned by Ion, so we’ve an issue with the frequency but also Devs don’t fix it by removing less content from the game or at least base achievements on mounts available in game always which are more that 600+.

my best guess is that there is 650ish mounts that if you started now that you could get, so I agree with you that we should have achieve up to whats actually obtainable but that means that they have to add an achieve for collection every 2-3 patches outside of expac launches which we all know that they wont do

100% there’s already going to be a few otter mounts in the game, the only thing that I would imagine the current one does is multi-passenger. I think collection rewards should at least stand out if its going to be the same model as something already obtainable.
Also, Devilsaur mount when?

In case you weren’t already aware, quoting yourself is super cringe. Nobody cares about your past Dear Diary entries.
The longer I think on it, the more disappointed I get on the new mount achieve.
The previous reskins for the mount achieves were underwhelming at best. The yeti was definitely a disappointment, but this Ottuk thing is also not worthy of the time and effort given to collecting mounts. I personally have over 600. This Ottuk looks typical and it doesn’t fly! How could you give out such an achievement mount that does not fly. The mount should have a unique skin coloring. It should be a statement. Not that the Ottuk isn’t fine in itself, it’s just not worthy of this achievement. My Tauren will look silly riding it.
I expect better from developers who are only limited by their imaginations. Better yet, if you are tired of coming up with “new and different”, give me a choice of picking any mount I don’t already have. Let me choose. What fun that would be!

Funny thing there is 4 colors of armored otters, so this thing isnt gonna stand out one bit. Expect nothing less from these people.

Of course, when I’m nearing 400, they raise it. Le sigh.
I never understand this type of mentality, it’s an ongoing thing, you’re never going to hit an achievement and be “done” with collecting. Silly to begrudge the people who are way beyond you a reward to look forward to, personally the new achievement is going to pop for me the instant i log in and i’ll be back to wondering how many hundreds of mounts i’ll be ahead of the next achievement when they get around to adding it.

I’m not begrudging anyone, the hell you talkin about?
That was more in reference to Ion stating previously that he didn’t like adding new achievements because they don’t want them to feel too out of reach to new people (paraphrasing).

They’re not out reach because they’re also adding mounts. It’s just… my goal was to get to the highest one, and it’s not anymore, that’s all.
I stopped seriously collecting years ago and i’ll still get the new achievement easily, have you tried Simplearmory? It’s pretty awesome with helping you to flesh out your collection via easily obtainable mounts you may have overlooked.
I did use that, long ago, even had the addon to export the toys, apparently. Totally forgot about it.
Please Blizzard , you say you are listening now.
Well 500 mounts is pretty monumental and takes a lot of work and time .
Don’t give us a recolor of a existing rep mount as a reward .
Another player had the idea, 1. you gave the Tree mount as a vote .
2. The slime cat for fated raids everything but “LFR “ no casuals
3. The tome for mage tower “ highly skilled” players” no casuals
4 . 500 mount achievement should be the “caterpillar “
5. I’m ok with the other choices for achievement mounts but 500 should be unique , followed by 1000 as next unique milestone .
The game just shifted to the beta , and the Caterpillar is already made just use it .
Would be a proper reward for all the players who have put in all the time, effort, gold, RNG etc
Please make the change , I would bet the community as a whole would be happy with this choice.

What about something like this for mount collectors?
We’ve an achievement every 4 years, at least something that doesn’t have a recolor, there’s plenty of time with 2 expansions between achievements.

Honestly, I was pretty upset about this considering the lack of a response from Blizzard on this otter. The Death Knight starting zone rewards a far better mount than actually collecting 500 mounts. I’m really hoping the otter is just a placeholder at this point.

Blizzard hates mount collectors.

I know this has been going on for a while, but Blizz needs to take another look at this. 500 Mounts is a massive achievement that actually requires the player to play most aspects of the game to obtain. (Rep grinds, PvP, puzzles, KSM, Raids and dungeons, meta achievements, pet battles, Argent Tournament, Torghast, protoform synthesis, professions, the list goes on.)
The collectors in this game aren’t whining about not getting a raid boss for a mount, we just want to know that our time playing this game has been appreciated. Even when the game has had it’s low points, the collectors were still collecting.
