Correct. The bug is solely from them reinitializing some of the prepatch conditions when they implemented the fix for the tabard quest in Blasted Lands. This caused them to recheck bags to see if players had a 100% mount purchased, and gave them the appropriate riding skill as this happens in the transition from Vanilla to TBC. It has absolutely nothing to do with boosted characters. Had a player who leveled themselves bought an AV or similar mount before the fix was implemented, they’d also have been given 150 riding skill.
Yes they are.
You are painfully stupid

You have mental problems. Seek therapy.
says the guy hallucinating that i am somehow “defending” blizzard by saying there was nothing to suggest the bug would be repeated

Wow, you really took that one to heart, and cannot distinguish personal responsibility or actions. I guess you are already in therapy. Be sure to talk about this one at your next session.
Remember when you repeatedly insisted that you didn’t care about this? Yet you have spent the last 30 minutes clearly caring about this? Please go and tell your mommy to refill your prescription.
I know reading is hard for you.
What I said was: I don’t care because I am not affected by this
However, I am affected by gas-lighting self-righteous nannies on the forums defending the multi-billion dollar company.
Again repeating your hallucinations. Mommy needs to refill your meds ASAP
The mental problems argument hit this one hard
I accept your defeat here, lil guy. Mom will get you the help you need soon.
I already bought my epic mount and riding skill…
In 2019.
You’re going to deal with me in my wolf form in BGs from now on; unless, you want to personally foot the bill for my epic mount and riding skill.
The only being defeated here is you lmao
Ultima destroyed your @ss
Nah, you didn’t. I never defended Blizzard. You really need to take your pills.
Correct i didn’t destroy you, Ultima did. Ngl reading yals debate was fun. Also what pills do i need to take? lol.
Yeah man the schizo who thinks I am defending Blizzard for saying that it was stupid for people to think that the bug would repeat itself today totally destroyed me.
I paid 1200g to buy epic riding for my 2 characters last monday…. Tuesday morning I find out all the people that bought the ram to not waste marks got free epic riding. So no, you have no idea what you are even talking about
Who cares lol. I just bought mine. I’m not crying. Less than like 1k people got lucky with something the never intended to do. You cried all anniversary over stuff too. All you do is cry. Quit TBC early like u did anni.

it wasn’t a “bug” in a way you could exploit.
this happened ONLY if you had an epic mount (but not epic training) in your inventory during the last maintenance. When the servers came back up after that maintenance you would have epic riding. This was likely the result of them running the prepatch startup script again to fix the event that ended early and the side effect was some people got mount training.
This wasn’t something that could be predicted and hasn’t affected anyone that bought an epic mount since maintenance.
