All of them, every rare spawn from every expansion, every patch and every zone in the entire game. And with only 13 raid and 4 dungeon mounts left along with a few here left from other sources that I am working towards and there and I gotta say, it shouldn’t be like this.
Recently I have been running up to 12 characters a day on rare spawns, even going as far as using my kids account (legit as he is underage) and getting my alts sharded on other realms to try and find rares that are up so I don’t have to camp and wait.
Some mounts took me that many tries to get that I feel sorry for anyone going down this path who doesn’t run at least a handful of alts, or even just anyone who wants one specific mount for whatever reason, they may like the model, the colour, the animation, whatever it may be, having some mounts taking 250+ kills to get on top of having to either wait for it to respawn, but also in some cases needing to force it to spawn and than needing a group, yeh it’s all just bad.
Say what you want, “Rare things need to stay rare”, “You don’t have to do this”, I’ve heard it all. I am not here complaining that I cannot get something or wanting it changed so I can benefit, I am here after getting it done asking for it to be changed to benefit others.
P.S. I don’t care for world boss mounts, if I ever see them great, but I don’t ever think I will and I am fine with that. I just think Blizzard need to finally make changes, 9 expansions worth and we are still sitting in the dark ages with some mounts, even the rare spawn ones being around an estimated 1% drop chance.

Maybe once it’s two expansions later, up droprates from 1% to 30%. It places a good amount of time between when they were special and doesn’t make them too easy to get.

The problem is something built into the achievement system.
Either its intended to be rare and so people will be degenerate in their game play to get it (for prestige), or it is intended to be rare, but not that rare and so enough people get it that lacks real game value.
I am of the opinion that all rare spawns should have a 1 in 8 chance to drop mount… with the rarer the spawn, the more likely for mount to drop first time. TLPD comes to mind.

You have achieved glory and brought honor to your collection. But what did it cost you?

Ahh ok, that explains then why you don’t have them.

I’d give you 1% per expansion.

Good job! I’ll make sure to chisel that on your tombstone as an achievement.
Rare mounts ensure I always have something to do in patch lulls so I’m fine with nothing changing. It’s a hobby within a hobby. It’s kind of like fishing IRL… even if I don’t catch anything, it’s about the experience not necessarily the end goal. And when I finally do get the elusive catch after years of hunting, it’s a good feeling.

I dislike the amount of mounts in the game from 2 or 3 expansion ago still tied to exalted. Really want the the dragon turtle and a few others:/
Only for few players, there’s a ton of issues with low drop mounts.
As collector, I’ll go against this alt army meta because it doesnt provide good gameplay and players with few characters doesn’t have a good chance.
I collected the 4 MoP WB mounts and i’d prefer to spent that time invested on BGs, M+ because those bosses only receive 1 hit then change to next alt for another attempt on the sloot machine, its not good gameplay.
How its possible that the best rewards from holidays are mounts with really low drops? While other Blizzard games get something deterministic each year, players farming mounts for 10 years on multiple accounts.

You haven’t even broached the tip of the iceberg.
The fact of seeing the % chance on 'em, just drives me away from even bothering. I think the whole system breeds some really nasty unhealthy gameplay.
Sorry, that sounds …
awfully tedious.

So what you’re saying is… we need to add deadly bears and fantasy creatures around fishing lakes IRL? Good idea!

Well, keep in mind that OP did say this:
Actually it’s more a weight of my mind now until 9.2 and than I have only one zone in one expansion I need to focus on and that’s so much better, especially considering I just got my 10th alt now to level 60 from TW meaning I can now basically spend 90% of my time in the new zone farming rep, currency, rare spawns and don’t ever have to worry “Is Ha-Li up? Is it even the right week? Can my alt even kill it solo yet?”
The rest of the mounts I am after I can work on whenever I want at my own pace, sort of, still RNG dependant but at least if I want to try for the KR mount I can walk in whenever I want during the week on my alts that are strong enough to solo that place and don’t have to wait, it’s my choice now on when and how many times I farm the instance bosses. It’s my choice on when I want to go do The Oracles rep and when and how many times I go buy the egg, it’s all RNG, but at least it’s my choice and not some random unknown spawn timer on top of RNG.
