My Main (Nomaidens-Faerlina) on my primary account earned Glory of the Ulduar Raider (25 Player) on 3/02/23. This achievement rewarded the 310% speed mount: Ironbound Proto-Drake. This date is well before the release of the Cataclysm pre-patch. After the pre-patch, none of the characters on my account received the reward of inherent Master Flying as stated in the official World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic Patch 4.4.0 Notes.
My alt (Floodlights-Faerlina) on my secondary account earned Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10 Player) on 2/27/23. Same issue across the entire account.
Both accounts have recently utilized the free transfer off of Skyfury to Faerlina, and Sulfuras to Faerlina as well as faction changes from Alliance to Horde. This may be important to what triggered the bug.
After speaking with several Blizzard Support Representatives, I was given several canned responses and was told it is a visual error, and that I do have the 310% bonus, I just can’t see it in my spellbook which says Artisan Riding only, my buffs which say 280%, or the flight trainer who lists Master Riding as purchasable only, not owned.
I decided to purchase Master Riding on my Main in order to test flight speeds on follow. With my main in the lead (purchased 310%) and my alt in the back (displaying 280%), I watched as my alt gradually fell behind until follow was lost. No crusader aura or any speed boosts were used in this demonstration.
This clearly shows that the bug is not visual, it is real and I can provide any proof necessary to back this. Please fix.

I’m having the exact same issue, opened multiple tickets and I’ve yet to get any response from a GM that indicates what action I should take next, they won’t let me know if granting my account the master riding is an option, and they won’t let me know if they’re uncapable of doing anything to help. It’s always just an effort to do some generic PR response while sidestepping my actual issue or pointing me toward irrelevant Wowhead articles.

Yes, I dealt with a lot of that too. I have created and re-escalated over 10 tickets with this issue on both of my accounts in the past 24 hours. I received several responses ignoring the issue with them stating “we do not offer refunds for regrettable in-game purchases”. Finally a GM responded with awareness that this is a reported issue and that I should make a bug report instead of more tickets. Lets hope more people like you come forward to flag this post so it gets fixed.
I am also having this issue and having customer support basically say they won’t do anything about it. I don’t understand why this is so hard to fix. Just grant master riding if someone summons a previously-310% mount.

its not a hard fix…
everyone has a date stamp of when they got the achievement. Select all players prior to the date with the achievment and give them master riding… EZ Blizz has that xbox money now and they dont care.
I got the same canned response… they dont care any more. if they cant fix something as simple as this how they gonna fix all the other bugs in cata

Same issue. Opened a ticket for nearly 2 months. Submitted bug report. More than 5 GMs took a look and offered zero assistance. I offered to buy master riding and get gold refund as a workaround which they refused. At this point I’m not playing this game until this issue gets resolved.

Logged in 70+ days after submitting the original ticket and bug report. Still not fixed as of today. I guess that’s it for me.
