You click on the orb on the mount…and spawn the NPC lol
It takes 2 seconds, as the information is on the shop page. Also, saying “X isn’t my life” isn’t an excuse for being a poorly informed consumer. If you don’t actually know what you’re buying, and don’t care to find out, you have no right to complain.
This is a completely crap argument and you know it. There’s a huge difference between paying a monthly fee to gain access to a game and buying cosmetics out of the store.
We’ve been over this, time and time again. When people spend money on actual items, the design to gate them behind a grind quest before they can get the specific item they paid for, is terrible design. To even sit here and say, “Hey, I think it’s a great idea that Blizz sells a specific cosmetic item in the store, but someone can’t get it for weeks until they finish a quest, is spectacular!”
Let me know how people feel when they start doing this to the pets and mounts in the store and then come back to me.
This thread is filled with ridiculous people who are missing the entire point.
Gating a specific item bought with money is poor design and a slippery slope for future store items.

It is scummy that they don’t actually research something and impulse buy you are right.
There, fixed for you

I’m not the OP, so glad you can’t read and understand what’s really going on around here.
Through the bunches of threads posted about this, they were all saying the same thing you refuse to even acknowledge: paying for a specific item out of the store and having it locked behind a quest is poor design.
This isn’t entitlement. Good lord. Learn to read.

They didn’t try to hide the fact that you don’t get the ensemble right away, but yeah, it’s not what I would have chosen for a quest.
It would help to have context, what exactly are you talking about?
No you paid $80 for early access to allied race DKs, a 120 character boost, a mount, a transmog set, a weapon enchant transmog, a cool looking hearthstone effect and a 30 day subscription.
Perhaps the issue isn’t with Blizzard but your inability to read?

OP is talking about the idea of gating a specific item bought in the store behind a quest.

I’m confused, which item are we talking about?
The Vestments of the Eternal Traveller.
The transmog. Items in the past that were bought as a preorder were cosmetics we got with our purchase. This one was said to be a quest and it’s been a point of contention since it was released.
I wanted to boost a highmountain tauren druid to 120 and it was $60. Same price as the heroic preorder that comes with one so I decided to preorder lol
I sure hope you didn’t pay $80 just for the tmog and instead wanted the game, boost, pet and mount as well.
Oh, the vestments…that’s considered grinding?
I thought it was a fun little way to introduce it, just had to wait a few days to complete it is all.

I forgot about the hearth stone, weapon effect and game time. Yeah claiming $80 for the tmog seems a little disingenuous.

It was only grinding if you ignored the daily free drops and focused on getting it ASAP. I got it in a week just playing as I always did.

It’s more than a few days. The quest items are only 3-4 per day, then the droprate is nerfed by 95%. It takes at least one to two weeks now. And the amount of time isn’t the issue. Gating items bought in the store is a slippery slope. Imagine buying a store mount, but not being able to get it for two weeks until you complete a questline.
