Easy Fix to the Sha Mount Dilemma

If you’re going to misquote me, do it on a site where a person can’t check the whole quote with a single click you actual clown. :clown_face:

Indeed, it’s a good thing people can see that you tell people not to post while telling people they can post wherever they want.

As someone with Ashes, I would NOT be ok with someone exploiting to get it…but I am 100% ok with Blizzard adding some form of bad luck protection and/or letting legacy raids unlock daily giving people more chances to farm it or what have you.

The prestige of a mount should be a short term thing. Once content enters legacy status, you’ve far had your time in the sun to enjoy it and it’s time for others to get it too and for you to chase down current content prestigious mounts.

So turn Ashes into a 100% chance to drop. See if I make a thread bemoaning how much is invalidates my “work” in acquiring it.

I think main issue is the fact this is a super old mount with a stupidly low drop rate of almost 10 years and so many of us have put hundreds of hours and thousands of attempts over the years lining up alts every week just for a bug which people then exploited. To which Blizzard responded with removing faster than any issue that isn’t in the players favor and not taking anything back or increasing the rate. This whole situation made it painfully obvious how horrible it is to farm those mounts. And people really want to collect them. Obviously some would want it for rarity, but a lot of us just love how the mounts look and want to be able to collet and use them.

Try posting on something over a level 10. Maybe don’t look like a troll. Probably (combined) will do more good than getting trolled yourself. Just my 2 cents.

This subject has become a moot point. So what if people got the mount because of Blizzards inability to address and fix the bug. On the brighter side we have a “greatly increased drop rate” from Nov 16 2022 hot fix for the Pandaria WB’s. Can we move on and let it go? sweet lord Jesus Hallelujuah!

Win some, lose some, quit crying about it. We get it, you didn’t get one. Boo hoo. Move TF on man.

I use invincible a lot just cuz it took forever to get. Lol

Yeah, this is me as well. Took me 7 years to get it. It finally dropped for me at the end of BfA. I’ve been making up for lost time, though it is exclusively on my hunter (this guy).

I mean, who cares? We all have been super lucky on things before that they’re still people trying to get. Don’t make these people feel bad. Half of them didn’t even realize that’s why it happened

You guys say increase the drop rate and I agree but…to what exactly?

1% and 5% are still very low chances. What should it be increased to??

No one really knows yet, but 1-5% seems to be the general consensus currently. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’d probably bet on 4-5%. The dracthyr bug aside, I should not be seeing so many of them (or so many exclamations of joy in chats) if it’s only 1%. People are usually quick to boast about their drops, and right now I can’t picture many of them trolling, but I can’t rule that out either I suppose. I just feel that it’s unlikely. I don’t know the numbers, but I know people. All signs point to a pretty sizable increase.

I dont have this mount and dont care at all that some people got it through some blizzard oversight. Who cares? The babies do. Whine about something else, maybe some real world problems for example, instead of some digital mount in a fantasy game. Grow up… its a mount… does it change your gameplay?

So some people got the sha mount… oh well… now its not the “most rare mount”… boohoo. Go farm something else then, or better yet, move on. It didnt change your life to see someone else get it did it? If you are so hurt, then unsub, you wont see people on them and it wont affect you anymore.

This exactly. The game needs to have rare things and should have rare things that require farming. That way people who want it the most, and have some luck, can get them. This comes from someone who has at least hundreds of sha kills over the years and no mount.

This will trigger some but, just like real life, some things are hard to obtain. You shouldn’t get everything now just because you want it and x number of people already have it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They already did, and nobody cares anymore.
