Upwards of 20 runs a day, every day. There’s no way I’d even use it enough to make it worth this! Thought it might be nice to have for my pandaren brewmaster but, uuugh. Why holidays got to be like this?
My problem at this point is how do I make myself stop? My obnoxious, neuroatypical brain can be remarkably stubborn when it comes to stuff like this. Add that to the whole sunk-cost fallacy biz and it’s hard to just abandon trying.
Honestly probably why I’m still playing at all after almost twenty years.

It’s not really worth it.
Stupid thing is only available on the biggest and the worst of the dragon riding drakes. If it was available on all DR mounts, then it’d be worth the grind.
I was lucky and got it a few days ago, but it definitely wouldn’t have been worth the grind.

Before this year, Great Brewfest Kodo drops 2,459 out of 89,844. Including this year it drops 2,475 out of 107,580. Alt drop rate is nerfed to effectively 0.1% or lower.
I got it on my first run on my first character.
I’ll never use it but it’s nice to know I have it.
They don’t. Blizz just has a bad design they keep doubling down on without using a new philosophy: let people have fun.
There’s no reason the mounts can’t be on a vendor too, so thst the BLP can also be buying them for a bunch of currency.

Then don’t do it.
What is going to happen in your life if you don’t get the brewfest saddle? Who is going to care if you do or don’t get it? If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it.

This is exactly what they should be doing with cosmetic items and pets and mounts. Similar to time rifts and those paracausal fragments - those vendors sell stuff that can drop from the time rifts bosses. That was done well.

I’m a little mystified at those of you who somehow haven’t gotten it.
I get that people who started playing from Cata or MoP onward might be a little peeved.
But it’s stupefying that there are long-timers who haven’t gotten the ram/kodo.
I think I’ve actually deleted them in the past trying to farm Direbrew Remotes on various characters… Same goes for Headless Horseman mount.

I’m more upset it’s not trade-able like every other instance-party item in the game. I’ve been trying to help my friend get it but I ended up getting one and didn’t even want it. Only to find out I couldn’t give it to him.
A brain doesn’t fully develop until the mid to late 20’s. At that age things that seemed worth doing aren’t worth doing anymore.
Many people exaggerate how much they actually grinded for something.
I can’t think of anything in the game that is. Which is odd, because when relaxing on a lunch break most days I’ll shoot the same NPCs over and over again just to chill out.
I can only farm for items a little at a time. If I was after that mount, I’d do it once a day (maybe twice if I REALLY felt like it) every time it came up but that would be it. Thinking hopefully in a few years I’d get it.
On the stubbornness on your part, your Pandaren would tell you to “Let it go…” in a James Earl Jones kinda voice. Good luck to you, I hope it drops this year.
edit: Thinking about it, I have done some serious settling in to farm a few things but it is supper dupper rare.
Agreed. It’s a good system and should be baseline for events and holidays, imo. It makes it fun and doesn’t make things feel bad if they don’t drop.

It’s basically just a barrel sitting on the back of one the dragon mounts, right?
Definitely not worth driving yourself crazy farming.

Pretty sure they’re talking about the new DR saddle.

Nearly everyone I’ve heard of who has it got it on the first run of the day, so I’ve just assumed its like the love rocket and am only doing it once a day.
Yup, that’s it. And none of the mounts from the event are great. I’m not sure why people are trying so hard to get mounts and saddles that they will probably never use.
At least the “love rocket” and headless horseman mounts can fly
So far after running it everyday, I got 2 bottle shankers and the saddle. I just want the remote ><
The fact that Blizz hasn’t made the remote a toy after all this years is kinda mind-boggling.
