Sure, the rares weren’t up every single day, but i much preferred waiting 5 minutes for the rare to respawn rather than the 2 hours most of the BfA mount-dropping rares have.
Also, the Argus rares actually had a decent drop chance on their mounts, which was great. Too bad the same can’t be said about the Mechagon rares and Soundless.
Completely agree. It was like the perfect method for it but then they just scrapped it entirely and went back to ridiculous drop chances and spawn times.
Or increase the drop rate, but have rares be ACTUALLY rare, like MoP rares.
I actually think the dungeon mounts being sub-1% drop rate is more egregious. Also about 7.5 million gold worth of mounts from vendors is terrible. I know why they did it, but it’s still terrible.
Mop rares weren’t rare. Not by a long shot. For true rares you need to go back to Cata and older where a rare could take weeks to spawn.
I wouldn’t mind the longer spawn times if rares were still up every day, right now one mount I can try and get every other week (The black alpaca thing) and another that’s up for 3.5 days every other week.
This isn’t even counting the warfront rares which give you one shot about once a month.
I can’t say I’ve had no luck at all but… I just dread being trapped by them like I am still chasing the court paragon mount. I know no one is forcing me or anything but at least a little bad luck protection would be lovely.
Let’s get Everquest rare timers, where it’s like 6 days +/- 18 hours. But offset that by a guaranteed drop.
Don’t worry, the costs are going up in SL. I think it’s 300k for any single exalted mount.
Hmm I wonder why? /s
I remember sitting in VotFW for I think 8 hours? Maybe longer, just chatting and watching netflix waiting for Galleon to spawn the first week. Did the same for Poundfist, it’s awful and retardo.
Just have fast spawning named mobs with low drop chance mounts so people aren’t living in zones doing nothing.
I usually will kill any rare I see when I am flying on my way to a digsite or something because I don’t know what any of them drop LOL!
I got tired enough farming rustfeather for the rusty unicycle that now I can’t be bothered going back there everyday to farm the spider. Also the respawn timer on soundless is absolutely ridiculous, coupled with the mount drop chance for it.
I seem to remember blizzard having a saying on one of their loading screens that one shouldn’t spend too much time on WoW. Looks like that philosophy has gone to the toilet over the years.
I agree, its BS what we have in 8.3!
Argus? hmmm maybe but how about…
We go to mounts to being exalted only and while you’re at it no paragon? stop making them cost 50-100k for no good reason.
8.3 drops are a complete joke, mechagon isle mounts are like huolon levels but much worse.

As an avid mount collector, Soundless offends me. 
Ok seriously I’m not that silly but Soundless does annoy the crap out of me. I think he was poorly implemented. They should have made him like Rustfeather and the Harvester or like the TLPD and Aeonaxx.
Don’t hate me but I think the Harvester and Rustfeather are fine. They spawn in a set place and you only have to wait about 40 minutes to an hour, I believe? That’s not terrible… BETTER THAN SOUNDLESS
I gave up on Soundless after only like 7 kills. No way am i gonna bother doing all that for a lame looking mount that has plenty of recolors lol.
Not from what I’ve seen so far. Most expensive exalted mount is 30k on the PTR. Is it different on the beta?
I read they were 30k too.
Yep. I mean, 30k is still pretty unreasonable when drops from HFC are vendoring for 72 silver, but it’s better than 300k.
