Lol go ahead, your not making a good argument at all. Your throwing a tantrum because you refuse to play alliance and jealous. But don’t forget you get an EXCLUSIVE ghost terrodactyl which we cannot get(our ghost gryphon was locked away in pandaria raf). And like Leinadh said, we cannot ride basilisk. You need to look at old mounts that are unique to horde only too, not just bfa.
Link the exact quote or you’re talking out of the back of your neck.
Lovely “NO U” - pity you couldn’t come up with anything better.
My goodness you’re ticked off about this, it’s not very healthy you know?
If you insist, but I doubt it will make you shush. Ion responded directly in an AMA to this particular question
“Do you plan to go back and retool the Alliance’s BFA mounts?” (the tl;dr version of a more lengthy post)
“When we make a new expansion, we look at the broader ecologies of the new zones and identify which creatures would make cool mounts. However, at the start of recent expansions before flying can be earned, we also avoid giving out mount models that really work best when flying. As it turned out, the Horde bestiary had a lot more ground-based models which led to the first wave of rep mounts being skewed. But we plan on rectifying that as the expansion unfolds. Speaking of which, that Bee is pretty wonderful, isn’t it?”
There you go, spoonfed you the link even. It literally cannot get more clear than this, the bee mount is intended as part of them rectifying the Alliance getting a bit shafted on mounts before. Directly from the Game Director. I will be curious to see if you twist this somehow to mean something else.
That’s not what “Exclusive” means. It’s the horde mirror to the proudmoore sea scout. So what if it has a unique ghostly effect. Damned thing is ugly anyway. That’s all beside the point.
I didn’t realize Bruce from the brawler’s guild was horde-restricted. News to me. That’s not what wowhead says about it.
And even if it was, so? You have a hippo and mechanostrider and whatever else. All of this is beside the point.
Evidently I need to repeat this for the fiftieth time for the hard of thinking in the audience, but the apples-to-apples comparison to make is Kua’fon and the Child of Torcali, both of which are rideable by characters on both factions. The honeyback harvester is obtained through a comparable method and is NOT rideable by both factions.
This should have been caught and should have been fixed while it was on the PTR.
Then it looks like you’re to never get the bee mount.
Case closed.
Fix what? It has been intended, to us for months, and on Blizzard’s end since they created the bee mount, for it to be Alliance-only. Sorry.

For the future I recommend not being so petty aggressive when claiming someone is talking out of the back of their neck if they cannot provide a quote and direct link, with that whole “no u” bit especially.
It makes you look particularly dumb when that person then quotes exactly what they claimed.
Nothing to have been “caught and fixed” as it makes perfect lore sense. Why would the kul tirans in stormsong remotely care about giving you horde a bee when you massacred the people in their own towns who had not taken up arms and couldn’t defend themselves? You guys deserve nothing but the worst, despite your leader’s betrayal, after all the innocents you massacred at teldrassil and brennadan.

This whole post was surely a typo, no?
Maybe you can point out to me all the alliance (i.e. stormwind, to be more specific, since they seem to be conflating the alliance with stormwind at every opportunity) insignia that’s all over this mount’s model. Because last I looked, I couldn’t see any.
A nice generic faction-neutral mount model that’s faction locked for no reason.
And now the post with the quote and link is being ignored, my my. At least let’s not pretend you aren’t being delusional then when you claim it’s a mistake that wasn’t fixed by some intern or whatever eh?
You now know the reason, you just don’t want to acknowledge it. You’re throwing a fit with this thread because the other color faction gets something your color faction doesn’t get, even though they have plenty toys already.

They just can’t beelieve it’s faction exclusive, I know that stings, but honey, you can’t just bumble along as horde and expect something so killer.

It’s what Blizzard intended. Not lore. Not insignia. None of that stuff. Hell, even the jelly you have to collect is “Alliance-only”. To know that the bee has been Alliance since they announced it, then come out the woodwork to be upset in the masses is a bit wasteful.
The only thing I can say, lorewise/worldwise, is that the Horde have quite literally no reason to get the bee. The Kul’tirans and the Alliance tended to the bees of Stormsong. That’s all I can say to that. But I stand my case in saying that Blizzard made the bee Alliance-based, and it’s been known for a while now.

Then it’s literally the only mount in the game that’s faction locked without displaying a strong faction identity.
Funny you should mention the jelly, because I suspect that’s another part of the intern data entry SNAFU I described earlier. The same intern was given the task of entering this junk into the database, had a memo saying “ONLY ALLIANCE CAN USE THIS” and decided to apply the faction lock to all items they were tasked with entering.
Cute that you ascribe conscious developer intent to it, though. It’ll be even more amusing when they inevitably fix this bug weeks after it should’ve never made it to live in the first place.
My god, you really are delusional. Here you are, still going with that intern SNAFU route pretending that’s a thing when you literally got spoonfed a quote from the game director with a link to that AMA a few posts ago that clearly shows the intent of the bee mount being something to rectify the Alliance getting less interesting mounts for their reputations
I’m not sure why you and others keep calling this a “bug” when it’s Alliance-only, on purpose.

Not sure what you’re accomplishing here.
Honestly at this point if she keeps bumping the thread just respond with that link to the quote, seems like that one must be ignored at all costs because it doesn’t match what she’s holding up as true
I kind of hope Blizzard fixes “the bug” by faction-locking the other two mounts and continuing to keep the bee out of the OP’s whiny hands.
