Is it crappy it was bugged this year? I guess. There were 3 other years to get this mount without issue though and if there was a way they could retroactively give the mount then they would.
Bear down and get another 200 badges. You’ll get it.
If only it actually worked at all. The anniversary promo seemed to suggest that you just needed the achievement to get it but I guess not? It’s really confusing.
I confirmed this personally. After “re-earning” 200 badges (after the Nov. 10 update) I still didn’t get the mount even though the “Bonus Objective” says 200/200 (all badges earned were after Nov. 10th). What gives? Could we please get a Blue response to this?
Note: yes I did check my bags, mailbox, and collections mount window.
Seems the system, like most everything else behind the scenes, is backed up. See response about someone in similar situation receiving their mount – after 6h.
Players who participate in Korrak’s Revenge and complete the Alterac Valley of Olde achievement can earn two mounts: the Stormpike Battle Ram (Alliance) and the Frostwolf Snarler (Horde).
I know you’re trolling but here’s Blizzard outright stating it’s from the achievement before changing it about 2 days ago
The article I linked to was Blizzard’s promotional material released on Nov 6th at the beginning of the anniversary event.
Much more current and official than any year-old wowhead comment.

‘complete the achievement’
The per-toon progress is NOTHING NEW.
Users who completed this achievement on a single toon did not receive the mount.
Copy/paste marketing announcements happen. Sometimes things don’t make it from developer to marketing. It happens. Such a strange thing for you to throw a tantrum over.
