Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder Part 2 still required for exalted mounts?

I recently returned to the game after a few years and was hoping to grind reputation to earn the captured swampstalker from Tanjali’s Expedition. I just noticed that at the vendor it says that I also need the Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder Part 2 in order to use…which requires me to be revered with an additional 2 factions?! Seems like an awful lot of work in addition to just getting exalted plus the over 80,000 gold for a mount. Can anyone confirm this?

Where do you see it saying it requires Pathfinder?

The tooltip for the mount should look like this:

(I put a space between the s and the : so I could put the link on. just get rid of that and paste into searchbar and it should work)

That is odd but now that I have looked more through the Wowhead comments I can see someone else mentioning it as well. I suppose I never paid attention when they added the mounts to vendor (same time as the achievement was added to game).

Perhaps Blizzard will remove the requirement eventually.

I wish but I can’t help but think this isn’t high up on their list. It just seems so unecessary given how it’s already so much gold.
