Its not a yeti they already blue posted it. They took the community feedback and are gonna make it something totally unique…
No you can’t count stack of 3 same pet for pet count it has to be unique, that has always been that way too for the count…over in pet forums there is this list of what is coming out with Dragonflight now…it wasn’t listed when I posted that other post…but is now…
1250 - Crystalline Mini-Monster
1500 - Secretive Frogduck
1750 - Violet Violence
2k - Mister Muskoxeles
Exactly, it’s time to bring an unique model instead of recolors for collectors that reaches this massive goals.

It’s just a recolor of a mount already in the game. The only color on the thing that does not change is the saddle.
So little reward for doing so much in the game.
Blizzard has some really talented artists, surely they can come up with a really unique achievement mount that is not just a simple recolor. Even the color is not unique.

Sorry, I missed it. Why are we mad about a yeti mount?
TL:DR Collectors (Obviously myself bc i did this thread) that invested a lot of time want an unique mount or something cool , however Devs added a Yeti recolor as reward for a new achievement that we waited for 4 years since BFA pre patch.
Oh. Do we really care, though? I mean, there are so many mounts in the game that a new unique model is going to be ignored just as much as any other, and I’d imagine we all already have mounts we like such that a new mount probably isn’t going to become part of the rotation.
Weren’t previous achievement mounts also just recolors of the theme mount at the time? Long, Strange Trip was just another proto-drake, for example.
Well it’s not going to be the Yeti after all anyway, so there’s not much point to this thread any more.
The irony here is I’d love to have that Yeti mount… but there’s no way in heck I am going to be able to get 500 mounts. Funny the people who have a chance to get it are the ones to complain. I’d gladly take it if you made it more accessible.
I guarantee you, if the 500 collecting reward is something truly amazing and unique, something that people will see being ridden around and ask how the hell we got it… mount collecting will become popular, people will strive to hit 500 because they want that amazing reward.
I know that traditionally Blizzard seems to put a heap of effort into store mounts (more effort than they put into in game reward mounts at least), but there’s a financial reward for making collecting desirable too, think about all of the people that could take up collecting and put in a lot more effort to running old content and grinding old reps and such because they’re looking to boost their numbers, perhaps they’d even be tempted to grab a couple of store mounts when they’re on sale just to catch up?
I know that sounds like a bit of a stretch, but giving collecting a desirable reward isn’t a complete waste imo.

There are already super easily accessible yeti mounts in game 
Which one? I hope you aren’t referring to Coalfist Gronnling because he’s not a yeti. I am genuinely asking because I would like a Yeti mount like this one.

That’s cause mounts to them actually mean nothing, except as another +1. And the more unobtainables you have the less of a loser you are.
Exactly my point of view as collector, we need similar to Gladiators and Mythic raiders
True, I mentioned the same with a holiday revamp, that could bring players every seasonal event but Blizzard doesn’t update those properly, same with collectors.

Oh wait you didn’t know about the other Yeti mounts, there’s one from Islands Expeditions with really nice color:
My feedback is that there should be a 600 and 700 mount achievement. Ion said recently that they are reluctant to add high mount achieves because they don’t want players to feel like they are too far behind which is extremely odd. I do not see a problem if there is something some players get and others don’t. Sometimes an achievement is an achievement. If anything it can spur people into collecting.
I remember in MoP and the 200 mount achieve was added for the Dragonhawk and that alone made me get into mount collecting and it was very hard to do 200 at the time. I’m currently at 704 and I still haven’t bothered with most protoform synthesis mounts and some vendor mounts because there is no high mount achieve to strive for it.
Currently there is a 2000 pet achievement on the Alpha which is 500 more than what top collectors have. Maybe that number is not final but the general idea of having a high achievement required is a good thing. having prestigious rewards for different parts of content is good. Like the Armored Dragonhawk in MoP. Not everyone has it and it may inspire people to go into it. Most people who actually want to collect mounts already have 500.
I think it would be a good thing to have a high mount achieve count. In the end the reward is purely cosmetic so if not everyone gets it that is fine. That and it is also eventually more easily obtainable because over time more mounts are added.

I’ve always found this to be a stupid stance too, an achievement that takes so many years to work towards is meant to look like a huge undertaking.
A new player or a new person to collecting has no place getting their nose out of joint because a 500, 600 or 700 mount collecting achievement exists and makes them feel behind. Go and spend a decade or more getting to 300 or 400 before you start eyeballing the bigger achievements i say lol

Collectors should receive the same treatment like Mythic raiders and Gladiators with unique rewards for our goals.
Also, the game got better for new players, during time walking you can get a lot of old reputations to exalted via tokens or rep increase, netherwing intro provides almost exalted with intro quest.
