I would be fine if certain items like this appeared on the store after a couple of years instead of the mounts they currently have.
Or rather rework the store - All items in the store will be free in game for a limited time in some event or another, but later on they show up in the store. Blizzard gets money from the players who want them, the players who continue to play get them free or people resub during said even to get them.
And ill take a page right out of FF14 - seasonal events always have new items each year, but the last year items are no longer from the event but appear on the store after the event comes around again.
It’s not coming to the store. He was being silly. There are a group of people that thinks everything is going on the store even though there hasn’t been one hint of that.
Yes sure, but they had to do it with an iconic Kaldorei mount? Something that is part of the essence of the lore of this game, the original and old lore of WoW.
If i also were a collector how others players are, this will be a hit in the nuts.
I’m still regretting not picking up the pure black nightsaber mount when it was available, I had the 1000 gold available but heard they were adding new mounts so I waited. What they didn’t tell us they were removing the existing mounts for purchase permanently. Now we have ugly armored kitties.
Trust me. I wish I could have gotten all the transmog items from the legion pre-launch event, but sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Stick around for the rage of the void or w/e pre-launch event and get the exclusive item from that!
I play this game since 8 years ago at least, but i used to play in pirates servers, not because i’m a money-grubber, because as i said before i’m not from U.S.A and my local currency is weak compared to the U.S dollar. This made for some time that WoW sub were expensive for me, not to mention that i had an old computer that always had problems for running the last xpac of WoW, and buying a basically good computer here is very expensive. Actually i have some guildmates that like me are from Latin America too, and they can’t run the game when they are in a group with 30 persons because their bad computers.
The Teldrassil Hippogryph was for the Alliance while the Horde was the Undercity Pleaguebat. Sadly, only exlusive to the BfA pre-launch for the Burning of Teldrassil event.
But there are other Hippogryphs out there that even the Horde can mount on, just depends on how much you like farming.
How else will they keep you subbed if they happened to have everything that was once available be available at all times (noticeable exceptions go to seasonal or server wide events: glad mounts and black qiraji battle tank)? /s
I feel for you OP. The pre-launch exclusivity of things isn’t something one should feel proud about and rather it would make more sense to leave it in, so as to help ease any unaware/new players into what’s happening. Practically all forms of content in this game shouldn’t be removed and should be locked to its intended level range and difficulty from when it was last available.
