I think it's time the broom is a year round mount

Please Blizzard.

Stop gating the fun.

Make holiday appearances and mounts be usable year round.

With the variation of mounts nowadays, I personally don’t see why not. Besides, what mage or warlock doesn’t conjure images of flying brooms?

But Blizz’s likely reason to keep status quo is that brooms make the holiday “special”, and so having them outside the holiday season diminishes that somewhat. Not that I agree, ofc.

Which would you rather be? The Prince of Innocence or the King of Fools?

Kermit has a place in either. I’ll let you decide which would be more tragic.

I enjoy that Kermit skipped Cataclysm like me.

Kermit also skipped WoD, like the Blizzard developers did.

And what are you going to give druids to compensate them for giving one of their iconic abilities to everyone?

unless the broom has a mount cast time, then I have no objections :wink:

None of the seasonal stuff should be locked to the holiday weeks. It’s such a dumb decision.

Blizzard has a need to keep some ‘uniqueness’ or ‘special’ flavors in the game, events, etc… they do it with spec designs (taking away one thing of the same or similar spell/visual to put into another spec)

They could just make something holiday specific, like MORE ‘costumes’ or something silly and let people ride their Brooms, they are pretty cool and shame that it’s limited to an event.

Then it wouldn’t be seasonal would it?

But, but…muh immersion!

It’s asked year in and year out. It will never happen. Even if it did, they’d take away the insta Mount.

I can use my OW skins all year long, doesn’t make them non-seasonal.

Make a rare one that drops as a permanent mount imo.

I finally scored the HH mount so I can use that year round :wink: The broom is just too good for Blizzard to let us have it forever.

They could just have it only be instant cast during Hallow’s End, but have a normal cast time the rest of the year.

Give the year round broom a cast time.
Keep the Halloween broom instant.

Maybe it could be a new thing to farm candy for next year… and it’s instacast would have to go tho or at least limited since that use to be the original reason for not letting it be perm(what i heard years ago).

I’d give up the water striding mount equipment for an instant cast mount one. :heart_eyes:
