Anyone buying the 6 month sub at this time is probably doing it because they love Hearthstone.
Otherwise it’s a waste of money seeing as they would have recently subbed for 6 months thanks to the bait phoenix.
It’s Blizzard’s way of cross promoting multiple games at the same time.
LMAO @ people who cry every time they announce the new 6 month mount. It is as bad as the Tuesday maintenance like people are in shock this happens.
Sucks for you then. I always am 6 mo sub because it is cheaper in general and the bonus mount is just a nice addition. Don’t want to sub for 6mo then don’t. No one is forcing you to do anything.
It is not a Mount, but Hearthstone cards. The mount requires you to play Hearthstone.
There isn’t one, never trust the forums. 
I got burned.
I do 6 months cause I don’t plan to cancel for 6 months and get something out of it.
Kind of simple.
pot meet kettle 
Sad face
All these people being saltie for no reason.
There is. It’s free and you have to try out their new Hearthstone mode and it’s a reskin of Squeakers.
The thing that kills me is the people who are so called “whales” are just being smarter with their money.
The six months subscription rewards Hearthstone cards. The mount is from playing the new roguelike version of Hearthstone in October.
Well yeah, I meant not a new one for a sub. 
That Hearthstone mount seems to be pretty close to my Squeakers though. I may have to see someone on it to decide if I want to play Hearthstone to get it.
That’s what gets me too.
The only thing I can see is you are buying 6 months just for the mount. Why would someone do that though? If you think you aren’t going to be playing then either a) You don’t need a mount or b) It would probably be cheaper to just do your month (or whatever you wanna play) and buy the mount separately.
Expect there is no promise of “hyped” anything being added to the game. It is a mount and some Hearthstone crap. These “whales” are actually paying LESS to play the same game as you or I would over the same time frame. If you know there is a high chance that you will be playing for the next six months, it is a DEAL that you should be taking. It saves you almost the cost of single monthly subscription and gives you a mount and other bonuses on top.
Sure it’s not for everyone as only the most dedicated should ever pay for something that far in advanced. But calling someone who saves “$2” a month on their subscription a “whale” is about as dumb you can get.
Them doing fixes for things they didn’t want to do is hype.
You sure like to SOUND like you know what you are talking about.
Oh the irony! 
“Whales” who buy a 6-month for the price reduction since they’re going to be actively playing the game? Darn those economical marine mammals.
News flash, you get those regardless of your subscription model…
Sure there is. You didn’t see the announcement last week of all the “features” upcoming in 9.1.5 whose details haven’t been released? They want people to sub now even though there’s no release date yet.
It is an offer, and if you sub now and jump through enough hoops later, you get a mount.
This discussion has nothing whatever to do with whales, notwithstanding the OP’s misunderstanding what a whale is in the context of gaming. If you also don’t know, there are some videos on youtube that will explain to you how whales play and why games go out of their way to give them opportunities to spend lots of money. Which a 6 month sub isn’t. Whales pay thousands of dollars to play the way they want to. They max out their tokens weekly and then find carriers that will take real money if they’re not done spending.
News Flash: No we don’t get it until .2 or .3. Unless a mass unsub happens in BFA where they apologized for Azerite or if a mass unsub + a Lawsuit happens.
