No, really it is stupid to spend thousands on something you never will own. Come to think, much like NFTs…wow mounts are NFTs!
NOTHING you do could ever get me to watch a WoW streamer. I’d sooner watch paint dry.
Don’t disregard the fact that, without a doubt, most people bought the Feldrake (and any TCG goods) to learn, ride and delight in them.
They didn’t take this an investment by any means, other than having something special and rare to enjoy.
Only the traders are hurt by that NFT-ish aspect.
They got their time to enjoy them and others having them doesn’t take away both that time they had, nor the fun of having it. If they are the types that don’t like something because others have it then they really are children and they can get over it or quit, either way wow is better for it.

That’s exactly what this all boils down to. Everyone complaining about the fel drake being given out falls right into this category.

I hope you do not take this as a generalization for this discussion as a whole, because that would absolutely be a false assertion.
Please tell me what kind of prestige there is in swiping your credit card.
Nice try with that strawman 
don’t forget about the majority who did not pay x amount of money but gold in recent years
No, it isn’t. Really people who are upset that others are getting something they have ARE children. It still takes nothing away from you because you did nothing to really EARN it, you bought an item. You didn’t overcome a challenge for it, you threw money at it. That is not a challenge. Thus, all you did is pay for the chance to get it early.

How is that a strawman. I’d have to put words in your mouth or misrepresent your reasoning for it to be a strawman. I asked you how it is prestigious to swipe your credit card and you dodged the question faster than Usain Bolt. I heavily doubt most people farmed millions of gold for this, either way it doesn’t make it prestigious.

If people explicitely state so or imply that they feel this way, then yes, that’s absolutely unjustified.
But that’s not the notion I got from reading various topics about this in all the forums.
Most people that have millions of gold didn’t grind it recently, its held over from WoD garrison.
You aren’t paying attention then. These people have all cried because people are getting something they have, and they don’t like it. That is it. That is very very childish.

Well, if that indeed was an honest question: The prestige such mounts, pets, toys etc. that did not require skill to be earned ingame (besides making so much expandable gold or money that it’s an outright skill of its own) simply inherit: being a rarity. And that on its own is a valuable and considerable attribute, whether you care for it or not.
Guess we’re just reading between the lines differently then. Most people embrace those goods, especially the mount (but that would have been the same with many, many other mounts). And again most of who voice their discontent, do so because that mount for that promotion feels disproportional.
That’s what notion I get.
They would complain no matter what people had to do to get it, because they would always think it devalues their mount, and don’t like that they others get it. that is all.

That’s a very bleak and black-and-white-ish view.
Again, this is absolutely not what I got from reading the forums.
But maybe most forums in the EU are just different in that regard.
You think these people that admitted to spending $1000+ on this mount would be ok if people could get it through a different means? (note they already could in the BMAH)
It would be just natural to not be okay with that. But also this would be on them to a certain degree - Blizzard never made any promises regarding TCG items (although they could be more sensible).
But you don’t have to own the mount at all to make valid and substantiated assertions regarding this topic.
