Good Morning,
I comment here today on behalf of mount collectors everywhere. Can we please get spawn protection on all mount dropping rares for old expansions? It’s Heartbreaking to lose out on a chance for a drop when it is the difference between a split second action or not.
Some Examples:
Zandalari Warbringers
Draenor Zone Rares
Timeless Isle - Houlon
The list is much bigger than this, but I think the point is obvious.
Please and Thank you,
Signed - A frustrated mount collector
Did they suggest that rares would be effected?
Not that i am aware of. Just addressing a current problem that the solution seems easy and obvious to me anyway
Boss kill tokens, get 100 buy the mount.
Like ffxiv does, just in case it doesn’t drop in 100 weeks.
not no, but no.
Why not? You enjoy 10 years of farming invincible on 7 alts every week?
I rather like this idea. Also feel they should beef up the world bosses health a bit. It is a bit insane that they more often than not die before before they even move.
Maybe make it like the “rare” mobs that have their health level scale depending on how many people are whacking them.
While I won’t be the naysayer and just say out right no. Invincible and raid mounts should cost a bit more than 100 tokens. Will the tokens be bind to account? If yes, then definitely more than 100.
You have a valid point of did I enjoy farming Invincible for… I don’t even want to know how long on 12 alts but nothing beats the feeling when the loot window pops and there he is. Funny note to go along with that. When the loot window popped on Garrosh the Tusks were at the bottom so I went from “OH well, next alt” to “OMFG FINALLY!!” in a second. 
As for open world rares. Can’t they just put a delay on them where they are tagged but don’t begin to lose health for X amount of seconds. Also they need to boost the health of older rares.
Whenever a mount becomes easier for people to acquire then its a slap in the face to those worked hard to get that mount, so I don’t agree on letting people get mounts for “boss tokens”
But Bosses and rares that die from just one cast or blow are a problem in doing old WQs too, sometimes 5 or 6 people will be gathered around waiting for a boss/rare to spawn with their hand on the trigger or start casting AOEs in hopes of getting a dmg in before others. The solution is for blizz to add a 3 second delay to a when a boss or rare dies. So at 0 HP it would just stand there for 3 seconds while everyone there can just hit it once.
As for mounts, I think people just have to learn to live with the fact that they wont get to have every mount. I got lucky with Lich King and Rustfeather but not-so-lucky on others and may not ever get them.
yes I do, it’s part of the game. I’m around +100 dry on mimiron’s head and I don’t find it stressing at all, rng is rng. I got invincible in around 15 aswell.
I hate that bird. Sure he gave me the blue prints for the jetpack pretty early on and made Mechagon a lot more fun before flying, but would it kill him to give me the wheel? I promise to stop killing him and his smaller friends.
What do you have against spawn protection? That’s what Sha has.
Yeah, exactly.
As mount collector and hunter main;
Honestly this would be amazing. If ANYTHING takes you 2 years of farming, every week, the game should have a way to give it to you.
You don’t speak for me and I like mounts being rare. If they dropped like candy then there would be no thrill of the hunt.
Edit - Are you talking about a “shield” like Sha has? I think I misunderstood your OP. If that’s the case, sure. Rares that drop mounts shouldn’t be able to be one shot.
This.
Let tokens be bop per character so you can’t just farm it super fast and make it 1 token per boss kill. At e.g. 25 tokens for the mount, that’s 25 weekly resets. So that’s 175 days/basically half a year to grind it out. I don’t think that’s unfair. Let rng still be there for those lucky enough to get it on their first run etc. but let the rest of us grind it out if we decide to pursue it.
In the end, it simply is a means to keep the carrot more firmly entrenched in the mind of those going after a mount. This also means people are more likely to remain subbed constantly and therefore more money for blizz.
I really like this idea.
They don’t need more health, i should still be able to one shot them, they need that 10 second protection window Pandaria world bosses have.
Simple, effective. If you don’t tag in 10 seconds, your loss.
Doesn’t have to. If the tokens are BOP then that’s just bad luck protection for people who have been farming these mounts for literal years and should have had them some time ago.
That’s some REAL bad math. 100 tokens would =100 weeks. There are 52 weeks in a year so that’s almost 2 years.
Welcome to the club?
Just because misery loves company doesn’t mean the rest of us want to join you in your wallowing.
