Wowhead link is from the TWITTER post, if you’re allergic to terrible.

Rumors and evidence point to even more RAF mounts, once long gone, returning to the Trading Post.

I’m curious how you would feel about AotC mounts?

Mayhaps Elite PVP gear.

Mage Tower?

lmao.

Edit: 1/26 the possibility of AotC mounts returning! https://www.wowhead.com/news/siege-of-orgrimmar-aotc-mount-datamined-with-traders-tender-cost-337380?webhook

I still got the achievement for buying the flame horse from the Trading Post before they hotfixed it.

Very tasty.

lmao.

“Please don’t quit! We’ll give out these old, once-sought mounts if you stay!”

This is just gonna push away more people- the giving away of old rewards, that is.

You think an old, classic model zebra mount is gonna make current subscribers wanna stick around for a longer period of time?

It’s just low-hanging fruit for Blizz.

It’s just more cheapening of the game. At this point it almost seems like they are intentionally trying to destroy it.

Mounts tied to promotions, such as TCG, have been appearing in Trading Post and Twitch drops. I would consider RAF mounts to be promotional mounts. I don’t see anything inconsistent with releasing these on the Trading Post.

Why even compare this to AOTC? Do you consider getting friends to play with you a comparable achievement?

The only link I can draw is no longer available, scarcity, removed, etc.

AotC mounts are gone, you can no longer earn these.

lmao.

Ok and? If you tie your worth to mounts you need to find something in your life actually worth it.

The ones returning are all Recruit-A-Friend, since most people didn’t actually RAF they just bought more subscriptions with alt accounts and got the rewards themselves.

Ironic ain’t it.

lmao.

Why does everyone love to bring up those weapons but they sleep on cm gear? That stuff was amazing.

That said, RaF stuff makes sense. AotC mounts, idc, but it would reek of desperation.

They could put the rarest transmogs / mounts on the trading post and it wouldn’t bother me one bit.

The only people with a problem with it are those that derive their sense of pride and uniqueness from pixels they’ve earned in a game so they can laud it in front of their imaginary audience.

so we may see the multi passenger plane from recruit a friend on the trading post? Hmm I wonder how many months it’ll be till that shows up as it was a nice plane I just had nobody to recruit as my friends either already played or had no interest in WoW

It’s a good thing. I have the Violet Spellwing, the Black Serpent of N’Zoth and the Uncorrupted Voidwing – all limited time mounts. I also have Elite PvP appearances. I don’t care at all if they end up on the Trading Post. I like the way these rewards look. Pathetic to derive pleasure from rewards simply because others can’t have them. Getting rid of limited time rewards (by having them return to the TP) makes this game feel less like a time crunch too.

RAF is a pyramid scheme too unless you bought a separate account, which is bonkers.

Besides, the same people upset about them being in the TP sell runs to get them for gold.not exclusive at all.
