I was reading in www.warcraftmounts.com that this mount was retired, and you can only get it by doing a quest that was launched pre BFA. I joined to WoW in BFA. Hippogryph is probably my favorourite flying mount. I don’t understand this, why the mount was retired? An why can’t we get it by other means now if the quest is not there anymore?
This disapoint me a lot.
If you didn’t do the pre-bfa launch event, why are you expecting to be able to get the mount now?
That’s the Alliance pre-event mount right?
It was pretty clearly highlighted at the time that it and the Horde equivalent were available for a limited time
I understand that you weren’t playing then and I appreciate you find missing out on it disappointing, but there’s tons in the game that’s “retired”, it’s the way it is ![:woman_shrugging:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/woman_shrugging.png?v=6" ":woman_shrugging:")
Personally I find limited time stuff a little silly, the idea of “exclusivity” doesn’t particularly excite me. Having something that others can no longer get doesn’t make me feel any better about that thing, but those sorts of things have been around for a looooong time and I don’t see that changing
Sorry
Blizzard has been giving special prelaunch items since Classic. This is blunt but true: you have no one to blame but yourself.
Because they chose to limit its availability to those who participated in the pre-launch event. Simple as that. There are tons of time-sensitive rewards like this, and they’ve given no indication (as far as I’m aware) that that’s going to change.
Because it’s an item, like any other, and i don’t see why i can’t have any chance to get it. I’m a customer like everybody else, i should be able to get the mount by other mean, not to mention that this is a remasterized version of a classic Night Elf mount, and for people like me that we like the old lore of warcraft universe this mount have an special value. This is like if the Orgrimmar Grunt set were locked for people who not played WoD.
I mean, i can get any most of the other items from previous expansions, why i can’t get this also?
I see, i think the same.
I’m not going to blame my self for not started to play WoW before BFA. ![:face_with_raised_eyebrow:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/face_with_raised_eyebrow.png?v=6" ":face_with_raised_eyebrow:")
Because its a marketing tactic they’ve used since BC.
It isn’t an item like any other, its retired.
Listen, I’m also tired of all the “limited timed items” too, but that isn’t exactly an excuse for them to re-release this one item. Further more
Because its like the few items you can’t get anymore. Its not the grunt set, its like the legendary ring, the mage tower appearances, the legendary cloak, ect ect.
Ok fair enough. In this game, we get prelaunch events and during these events we get items and/or achievements that are limited time only.
You can’t have a chance to get it because it was a special mount given out for participating in the pre-BfA launch event. If you didn’t participate, you didn’t get it. It’s a really simple concept.
It’s how it goes OP. You can hope that they release a similar model, but the prelaunch one is not going to return.
Trust me pal, i understand the concept. But that doesn’t mean that i’m not going to think that it’s a bad business decision.
Coming to a wow store soon ™️
It’s not though. That mount alone caused people to prepurchase their game.
There are plenty of items you can not get from previous expansions. Tied to pre launch events, Challenge modes, etc.
Have 0.0001% of items expansion locked isn’t bad for the game.
I’m still disappointed I don’t have the tabard from the BC event. At least I think it was BC.
It’s not a bad business decision, just like it’s not a bad business decision to have a sale for the weekend of the 4th of July. It a bummer for you that you weren’t able to make it to the store in time for the sale. It really is, but that doesn’t mean that having a sale on 4th of July weekend was a bad business decision. It just means that you missed out on the sale.
It was and me too.
Actually, you never know, it may show up on the Black Market Auction House some day.
That will be good. The only problem is that i’m not from U.S.A and my local currency is weak compared to the U.S dollar, which means that buying it in the store will be very expensive for me, but i don’t blame to Blizzard for that, because is a just a global echonomy issue.
