Ground Mount Reward in Dragonflight?

Blizz I need to ask this question again. Why do both raiders and PvPers get dragon riding customizations and Mythic+ KSM players get a ground mount?

I can’t imagine coming to that decision after marketing to players a whole expansion of dragonriding and customizations. I’m struggling to understand why you would think a ground mount would feel rewarding. The ground mount, in a vacuum, does look sick in all fairness but in context it just doesn’t stack up to the other rewards.

I do understand that getting the PvP mount is a lot harder than KSM. I’m saying all rewards should be tied to dragonriding and from there, be proportional to their individual difficulty. Maybe PvPers could get what they get and KSM achievers could get a different coloration of the original dragonriding armor?

As I am in a dragonriding expansion I do not use a ground mount regularly. Also, as I’m an Alliance player and admittedly not interested in any mount leaning more towards the horde aesthetic, my reward for four dragonriding season KSM achievements will be a +4 to my mount collection for the mount achievement.

Because unlike them raiders we will get to use it in 11.0!

There’s no way they’ll be able to pull dragonriding out from under us in 11.0. These dragons will definitely move forward into future expansions.

ksm mount is pretty much a participation trophy similar to the Viscous saddle mounts…so i can see why it’s a ground mount…

i do think they should add a dragonriding skin for the KSH players (2500…where the incarnate stones are now) :100:

But this expansion is about dragons and stuff… so a dragon mount that can fly would actually make more sense…

Artifact weapons, heart of azeroth, covenant powers…

Would be nice to keep it, but I’m not going to hold my breath. Hope I’m wrong.

Well sure that is the conversation. What rating constitutes a dragonriding customization is a valid question. I would be fine with the requirement being 2500 as long as they gave the Mythic + players respect enough to offer a legit reward. I mean, I definitely don’t get anywhere near 2500 personally but with a sick dragonriding customization maybe I’d be inspired to push.

I agree, give KSM a dragon mount and give this ugly thing that nobody wants to casuals… maybe even make it like super trivial to get so like I… I mean, those filthy casuals, don’t even need to put in any effort.

Pretty sure you’ll be able to use it sans the dragonriding in 11.0

Yeah Xirus, I think dragonriding will be moving forward definitely. I would think giving something great like dragonriding to the players only to take it away 2 years later would be the final nail in their coffin.

All I wanted was the bear… But even after 3 wins I only get +1%
T_T I gave up… No bear for the chilliest of beans

Do solo shuffle its super easy to grab that pvp mount, way easier than you think!

But its exclusive!!! besides, you dont need a flying mount to complete your content.

That’s exactly what ksm mount is for

I use the ground mounts in some instances or other areas that don’t have flying in the game.

It’s almost like there’s two mount rewards for PvE players but only one for PvP players…

I mean, I’d have to go to the mail box, then click on mail box, then click on mail, then click on item into my bag, , then right click on said item for my collections.

I’d be all clicked out by then. Thats asking too much.

i actually think all the mounts in this expac should be dragonriding mounts. i went out of my way to get the Tempermental Skyclaw mount only to find out it’s a regular flying mount and does not use dragonriding, i was pissed, and finding out that the KSM mount is only a ground mount(doesn’t even fly) was insane.

Dragon riding is likely going to be staying forever. :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Those are all examples of borrowed power. Dragon riding is not. So that’s not a good analogy
