How about stop this “exclusive” club? Its just pixels. You shouldn’t feel special about pixels. And no mount should be 0.3% or whatever it is and once per year obtainable, its ridiculous.
If you wanna feel special because you own some pixels, you need to get checked up.
The drop rate is 1 in 3333. So less than 0.3%.
There’s a fine line between "rare drop and a 0.3% drop once a year for a week or 2 you may never see in your life. It NEEDS to be changed ASAP. This is anti-fun content, specially for those of us who have many alts to farm such mounts. So much effort thrown in for nothing even when were old eventually and still hoping to see it on our 70s or 80s. I don’t want to spend the rest of my 70+ years ahead of me farming a 0.3% chance mount, its unfair.
Me too, i’m guilty of doing almost all runs on dps specs but doing queue as tank/healer if possible but if someone is dying, i try to heal them even when they stand on stuff, however that’s just few cases compared to the ones on which the bosses don’t last too much, there’s attempts on which the group kills 2 bosses before the third one activates.
Players with tons of alts want to finish this ASAP, at least we got a response from Dev because this is another issue as you mention, it could be a good challenge fight, however the current goal only incentivize this kind of behaviour.
Let me correct that 0.03%**
So only max level players in heroic gear should be able to run the dungeon? It’s not supposed to be a challenge at all.
It’s content that is intended for everyone who is 10 and up. Some of those people are new and don’t understand dungeons. Some are alts that were created just for this dungeon on classes that their mains never play. It can’t be challenging to the best geared and most experienced players in the game.
I apologize to everyone:
What i mean it’s that this could be a challenge, that doesn’t mean hero-mythic endgame challenge, for example, i tried the free trial for FF14 and during last year, there was an event for a car mount on which you needed to defeat a boss from FF15, Garuda.
It was a nice solo challenge, they could adjust difficulty to a level that provides a good mini fight instead of the current state on which some players could be afk.
Also, it’s interesting that FF14 allow free trials to get mounts from events and other stuff, but it’s not my type of game.
I understand. I’m running it on over 20 characters a day. But I will never condone or excuse those who queue for the spec they aren’t or who AFK. That’s just me.
Sure, also i think if we only have players doing queue for the specific role and with that spec, the queues for DPS will last longer… hopefully there’s a huge holiday revamp next expansion. And Cross faction, alliance character queues are way longer that horde.
Sure. It could be turned into a challenge that excludes most players who are currently playing the game and doing that dungeon. In fact, all rewards could be turned into such challenges to deny them to average players.
I personally don’t think it would be good for the game to throw more bling at top players while telling players that used to farm these mounts that “Too bad you didn’t get it before we turned it into a challenge for top players only, sucks to be you!”.
You didn’t get my point from last comment with the FF14 example, this could be adjust like the last world boss from anniversary any player 35+ like timewalking and do a fight like any timewalking dungeon that doesn’t exclude most players and you need to do mechanics properly, i don’t see any group drinking the potions on the table for this fight and i do 50 runs each day.
Even better, let free trials to get it too and expand it to a new limit.
Don’t care about this one. Just pure luck involved. Even doing it on multiple characters everyday during the event isn’t a huge time-sink. Most players that have it probably do it a few times a day and just hit the lotto.
The only people I can imagine being upset about this are people with the mount.
Except that’s not what he said.
Aww, is somebody’s personal value diminished by what other people have?

I finally got it last year, and I am 100% for a change to the Rocket and all other holiday mounts.
Throwing dozens of alts at a holiday boss for 2 weeks is one of the most unenjoyable things I’ve ever done in a game, doing that every year for over a decade made it even worse with the ever changing level requirements.
Nothing in WoW should have a drop rate as low as this thing.
Big Love Rockets for everyone!
I was waiting for you Mistlight
Everywhere I went, Wowhead, Discord, Reddit, MMO-Champ, I saw people generally in favor of this news and that just wasn’t right. I knew there had to be someone out there who felt the way you do Mistlight, I was waiting for you to appear and I’m glad you’re finally here 
I like the idea of making it buyable from a vendor for the tickets you get but make it cost a crapton, a bit like the tw mounts
Should also happen to the hh mount
As someone who doesn’t have the rocket, I’m not sure if it is a good idea to mess with drop rates or making it a vendor item.
We are nearing one thousand mounts in this game. Most of them are relatively common, some are rare, some are prestige mounts. There are two types of prestige mounts, the ultra expensive ones and the ultra rare ones.
If you made the brutosaur a few thousand gold instead of a few million and suddenly every player has one, it takes away from the prestige that goes along with owning one. (I’m much too poor to ever own one.) Same goes for the rocket. You start putting it in every heart shaped box that drops, it becomes just another mount in the pile. It being as rare as it is is what makes it so sought-after.
Put it into the blackmarket AH. Problem solved.
