You have officially left out players who don’t have the expansion and anyone leveling, Blizz.
No one cares if it has a drake manuscript in it. Either code it to not drop for people who haven’t unlocked dragonriding or who cares if they get it?
That rewards bag has many other items in it, including two mounts and a toy. And now you’ve blocked anyone who isn’t max level from getting these rewards.
May have blocked alt-farming it, too, as I believe it says
" On your first kill of each day, you will be awarded a Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest, which has a chance to contain awesome items. You can get only one Keg-Shaped Treasure Chest per day, so there is no longer a point to farming the boss once you don’t need any of the trinkets he drops."
There was nothing wrong with the previous system, Blizzard. The level range for the ‘best loot’ being the latest xpac and the regular rewards being below that.
I am so very glad I already got all those mounts and farmed my Pink rocket with 30 toons before they made these kind of changes.
Hopefully it’s character. I don’t really go out of my way to farm these, but I know lots of folks do and really look forward to these holidays. The level change is bad. I hope they didn’t double down on it by locking it per account.
It’s not the drop chance that’s the issue, it’s the fact that anyone who isn’t max level or doesn’t have the current expansion can’t try to get rewards we’ve been able to try to get for years without being max level before.
You think they’re doing this to coax people into buying the expansion? Of course they are. A week or two from now just before the event’s over they’ll say “whoopsee it was an oversight but it’s fixed now “
I thought that was the original uproar when they first changed it to current expansion levels only? It used to be anyone could try for the mounts at any level. Then they added the “you can only get mounts from the bag” and made it current expansion levels only.
