How about each time a boss doesn’t drop a their mount, the probability the next time you kill the same boss increases by 5 percent of the base drop rate? Good idea or nah?

Nah.
I’d rather like the way it is now.

What’s the point of drop rates and rare stuff then? Not everything should be handed as a participation trophy.

No, that just takes away from the rarity and prestige of the mounts.
Some things should just be hard to get and leave it at that.

I want a mount every time someone on the forums says “participation trophy”.

I like the way it is now, it may take a while, but at least I have the option to go and get it. If I want to better my chances, I use every alt I can, try every time I can and with that I better my chances as long as I stay determined enough to get them. Only thing for me would be is “not” having the option to get a mount, but it happens so I just move on.

I just wish they’d put in a shortcut to the bosses that drop them like they did in WoD and Legion. Gate it behind a quest if you want. But having to e.g. blow thru the entire SoO everytime is a pain.

Most mounts have a base drop rate around 1%. Is 5 percent of 1% a significant boost to anything? So kill the boss 20 times and you get to 2%.

Yeah, that was intended as a way from getting the drop rate too high too quickly but still give a sense of progressing on that mount
No thanks, I grinded for these mounts the hard way, and so can you.
Some things in this game should stay rare.

I mean, I’ve been running Timewalking for how many years on I don’t remember how many characters to try to get the Infinite Timereaver… but that’s just how it goes. Why make it so special things aren’t special anymore?
It’s like Christmas when a rare mount drops. Let’s not ruin that. It’s one aspect of RNG I never minded.
Naw. Not for mounts that drop off of bosses.
BUT, it is a good idea for mounts that come from things like Paragon chests. Those should have had bad luck protection.

I think raid mounts are pretty fair. 1% base chance and/or 100% on mythic difficulty that lowers to 1% when it becomes trivial.
What could use some love are the world boss mounts (MoP in paritcular). Those are < 1%. They are a nightmare. The Legion paragon mounts are a close second (if not first - who knows i gave up).

Sure, but it can only increase to a 3% chance.
Good idea. I approve

I would love that! As a person who has killed various bosses thousands of times, this would make me very happy.
I’m also a person who doesn’t care if everyone has the same mount as I do, nor do I care whether a mount is “rare” or easy to get. If I like it, I like it, and if other people have it, I’m happy for them. Make it so, devs!

Yes, lets invalidate everyone that has the mounts time and effort for the sake of making things better for you, and people like you.
even if they considered adding this, 5% would be much too high.
…I will admit that this is tempting because that blazing drake refuses to drop for me.
Anyways, highly doubt this would work with how wow is set up. Interesting idea but I don’t think it would work out well in the long run.
