Here’re the customization Megathreads for Void and Blood elves:
We’d really really love to see customizations added in 9.2.5 for our current races or as soon as conveniently possible thank you very much Linxy for being our port of contact between us and the devs <3 xxxx

couldn’t it just been moved to comp stomp and have comp stomp active the entire time children’s week was up?
now the poor children will grow up not knowing how to violently murder the enemy win combat strategy games vs other teams.

It really is a horrible thing to implement achievements that require people to do things that run counter to normal gameplay in a BG, especially yearly events like this, it must suck for the PvPers to have swarms of people coming into their battles trying to get a stupid achievement done.
(i say this as someone that got it way back in the day)

This is what makes the game unappealing to people. This is what pisses off most players. Newer people that want these achievements do NOT want to work for the hard stuff. I don’t really care how many people want to scream and yell at me for this post, but come on. It’s supposed to be challenging. “BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR” if you can’t get it done. But you are slapping us all in the face so you can get what you want. We tried multiple times until we got it done. “What a long strange trip it’s been” You know why the achievement is called that? You work hard, and you do it again, and again… Stop whining. I hope the Blizz team reads my post…

I am a PVE’er all the way and I felt genuinely terrible that I had to do actual PVP objectives to get this achievement. It would be one thing like GNERD Rage where you just had to get some HK, but having to actually, for example, capture a flag in Eye of the Storm and take that away from people that actually like to do PVP…feels bad man. I don’t want to be there any more than y’all want me to be there, I assure you, and while I try to make myself useful I know I suck at PVP, I cause stress for PVPers by not knowing what I’m doing, and hate that I was forced to do it for this achievement.
Also the insane queue times (I literally spent over an hour for an Alterac Valley) adding to the stress does not make this achievement any more endearing. Additionally, there are definitely people that will help you, but there are also definitely people that will go out of their way to make it difficult or impossible to get the achievement credit.

That the problem Haroc this newer player base doesn’t want to work for anything they want it all handed to them …I knew this was coming when they said back in Feb the change to the Love Rocket drop rate will change next year…they caved to the cry babies and will keep doing that for this Participation Trophy Generation in the game now…everyone got to get a prize mentality…

If people cry enough that its hard to get mythic boss mounts or pvp mounts cause they are too hard to get why not give those out too?

Got too let the cry baby generation get their prizes…its the Participation Trophy Generation players causing this now.
Agreed. It is unfortunate. But I can always slap everyone in the face with the Month, Day, and Year when i got it. When you had to try. And so can you!

This particular one has been a point of contention since it started. Hence the jokes about yearly threads on this one.
I am glad they finally stopped listening to people who said that.

Are you kidding me?
Just because we suffered at the hands of a stupid system, it doesn’t mean others should have to cop the same crap, i’m happy that the new people won’t have to do it.

I got mine 12 yrs ago too…I stomped my way though to get it done this Participation Trophy Generation doesn’t want to work for anything they want their little prizes now.
Thats what is wrong with these new players they want stuff without having to do what everyone else had to do to get it.
I got this mount 12 years ago as well so what? It’s still hard to get. They haven’t nerfed everything. People should not be forced to PVP if they absolutely do not want to.
