Creating a thread complaining that you didn’t get the OG Epic mount months after Blizzard said “We’re not doing that because we don’t want to incentivise people rushing to 60”.
You should have voiced your concerns then not now when we’re nearing the next phase of the game and they’re very unlikely to change that stance.
I’ll bite
work (n.): activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.
By definition grinding for gold is considered work
I guess so is eating.
I did. I created a post months ago on this same topic
Sure. That’s why “work” is a figure of speech and not to be taken literally as implying actual employment
Right, but you walked headfirst into that one.
So what do you suppose that one is, matey, a ten-pounder?
I am not fascinated or excited to have a mount in Classic. I have already grinded for that in Vanilla. Would I love to do it all over again? After Classic, what happens to the mount? I rather invest my time grinding for the Bee mount in retail becoz I will surely have it on all incoming expansions.
Yeah, I play both Classic and Retail right now. I dont need to rush to level 60. I spend at least 5 runs on each leveling dungeons at appropriate level. I prefer such journey than speed leveling to 60. The best fun part of Classic is the journey to level 60. At 60 max level, there’s not much to do.
What can I say? I enjoy etymology, correcting trolls is just a bonus for me
Sorry, you don’t deserve something special for a circumstance that boils down to “I was able to dump more time into the game than you.” Worked hard, my backside. Please.
That’s a decent point, but we don’t know what will happen. What if we move on to TBC. You, ideally, would have the mount for forever just in a different version of the game. That’s why to me it’s a big deal.
I still have my netherdrake on retail from grinding in TBC. Still proud of it because I know I did it back when it was hard (I’m sure it takes like a day to get in retail now)
Same basic concept.
But your choice to level slow, and your disinterest in classic has no bearing or relevance to those players who do view this game as relevant and care about its future
…Who removed them? In 1.12 they were already long changed.
To be fair, that’s literally what MMORPGs did until WoW: Cataclysm when they decided that everybody gets Epics for using /fart.
Are they in the game? Oh right they aren’t.
So they were in the game and they aren’t now. There’s a word for that…
Help me out I’m drawing a blank
Can you show me exactly where on the timeline of WoW Classic (not vanilla) that the unarmored mounts were available for purchase?
Absolutely. They were available in the earliest phase of vanilla.
Classic is a relaunch of vanilla. We are in phase one of that relaunch. They are not here.
Do you want me to start explaining how there isn’t a phase zero or are you starting to get the concept.
I can’t tell if you’re trolling or an actual idiot
Vanilla WoW didn’t have a clock, Feign Death broke combat consistently, water/liquids were a flat texture(see the green ooze in UC being kinda shiny in classic, even on the lowest settings), you swam up slower with the jump key, rain used to alter its’ drop pattern if you jumped around while it was raining, the elementals in arathi were elites, the dust devils in tanaris were elites.
There are many, many changes in Classic.
You’re just picking epic mounts because you want to be special, you don’t actually care that it’s a change.
I can’t believe you deliberately ignored my question and gave me the exact answer I expected you would. I said:
“Can you show me exactly where on the timeline of WoW Classic (not vanilla) that the unarmored mounts were available for purchase?”
Emphasis on the “Classic (not vanilla)” part. Because you just referenced vanilla, not Classic. The mounts were never in Classic, hence they were never removed. Classic is based on 1.12
Were the unarmored mounts available for purchase in 1.12?
No, I’m picking on all changes. You’re just picking me picking epic mounts because you want to pick and choose what changes you think are valid or not, without giving any justification.
Basically you’re pontificating because you want attention and have no actual argument against the OP
Also 1.12 had a keyring, so where’s my keyring?
I’m picking on you picking epic mounts because you’re whining like an entitled teenager over pixels in a video game.
I ignored your question because it’s stupid and you’re trying to bait a strawman argument (aka trolling) which isn’t relevant to the discussion at hand
Your argument is that vanilla items have nothing to do with their classic counterparts which is objectively false. The entire point was to emulate vanilla.
You’re also trying to play both sides by also bringing up 1.12, which is irrelevant. We’re discussing early vanilla vs early classic which should be the same.
In 1.12 those mounts were actively in the game and not removed. So even the 1.12 argument fails on its face.
What is this “entitled” bulls hit you keep throwing around? Nobody is acting “entitled”. We want no changes to our relaunched game.
Let me again do some educating on the English language, because you obviously think the word is an insult. It actually isn’t
entitled (v.): to give (someone) a legal right or a just claim to receive or do something.
So by definition, I am literally entitled to that privilege.
Thanks for playing
You didn’t really work hard to get them as we already knew they wouldn’t be getting released.
It’s a fallacy that you had ever gone through the effort to obtain them.
