Of Blizzards Laziness and disconnect from the community.
You make things pug friendly and hurt guilds by removing master loot and tier… and then you hurt pugs by making a 4 hour long quest chain give a reward that’s mainly going to be beneficial (and Mandatory) with static mythic plus groups…
Because every person that joins the mount gives it 10% speed boost and you can have all 5 people in your party together. meaning a static mythic plus group can have their tank mount up, everyone goes in it, and you get a tanky mount at 140% speed inside the dungeons that you can mount in running through things. This is going to be 100% mandatory for competitive key pusher on certain keys.
@Mvura Why can’t everybody that does it get nice things…
I am confused. I thought the goal was to get a mount that turned you into a floating brain so you could hang around Orgrimmar looking all cool and creepy.
A 10% mount speed does, in theory, benefit very dedicated mythic dungeon players, enabling them to shave off a few milliseconds when travelling between packs.
However, I daresay that the groups that will actually see a noticeable benefit from this mount perk are extreme rarities. You would have to, first, be someone that runs extremely competitive high-end mythic keystones. Then, you have to be, literally, in a competition for some form of fame or glory to actually benefit from being placed higher by a few seconds.
I think the people it could benefit the most is the multibox gold farmers, but again… how many people does that actually impact?
You know what I think? I think we should give Blizzard the chance to experiment with a 14 year-old game, and bring interesting new ideas to the table, without getting our knickers in a twist. Yes, some of their ideas are not going to be so great… and those typically impact a large portion of the player-base… but, something like this… let’s just calm down and enjoy a new mount that has a quirky benefit.
I mean… I used to never complain. Until the fire nat…i mean until blizzard started messing everything up. Sorry I care about the longevity of this game.
I did…that’s the point of this tweet… groups that do it together like static M+ groups will benefit over pugs because the mount only works with the peopel you do the quest with…
Or… This is an MMORPG, and RPGs are all about min-maxing and getting the best gear… Hence BiS lists, BiS azerite traits, and BiS anything becoming a big thing about getting.
It’s not nothing…I mean this is a quest that takes 4 hours… and you can’t benefit from it unless you use it with the same 5 people you did the quest with… severely limiting…
Min-maxing… yes, I agree… to an extent. A game like WoW has a lot of different tiers of players. The levels you are reaching into… are areas where very few people ever tread.
