Lol Blizzard last minute hotfix the highland drake raid mount

last raid tier blizzard let everyone including LFR players get the razageth replica skin as a customization for our dragon riding mounts

this tier they let mythic players get it

It makes sense honestly… good cool stuff is needed to make mythic raiding, a reason

Implying the Raszageth skin existed in the first place.

I mean, obviously it actually does, but MAN it had a miserably low droprate. I never ended up getting it.

What? I got it and everyone around me had it lol.

Also → Drake “skins” don’t +1 my mount collection so I honestly don’t care

Some of us really put in a lot of work to get it and it never dropped. Now I can’t get the next one cuz mythic raiders gotta feel special.

The drop rate was still pretty low. Not 1%, but around 2%. Sure, a lot of people got it, but a lot of players have alts, and some run multiple difficulties. How many we see reflects that. Considering that it was, at least until now, the only option available account wide without rep grinding or ranked PvP participation, of course it was quite visible.

That’s unfortunate. The skin seemed so common on my server that I just assumed it was a 100% drop for all raiders.

I was more surprised to learn that it WAS available in all difficulties. I just assumed that it was mythic only from the get-go. Aberrus is a return to form I guess, but not necessarily one that needed to happen, in my opinion. I felt like Blizzard had learned a lesson or two from the past, so it’s slightly disheartening to see them regress on something, big or small. At the end of the day, it’s not a huge deal, but I’m just disappointed.

This is a good way to stop the sub bleeding! :rofl:

And it’ll totally keep LFR nice and active. :upside_down_face:

Or sow the seeds for a very nice carry market in time.

If they want pay to raid that bad…master loot. Bring it back And there they go.

We still got people spamming naxx with voa, ulduar and heroic + out. even when we get h++ (the m5, m10, m15 of retail…kind of missed), naxx will be gdkp’d most likely lol.

GDKP motivates even the oldest of of the raids in classic up to the day servers patch for new expacs. Master loot…makes it possible. It is time…again.

The highest level raid content has more often than not dropped a mount no other difficulty does since Wrath, seems rather predictable at this point.

idk they should of let it be possible for everyone just lower chance of getting it on LFR than normal with an almost if not guaranteed drop on mythic

I predict the number of non-raiders who will be converted into mythic raiders in order to earn this skin will be vanishingly small.

I’d probably save up for a carry long before I considered jumping into high end raiding again.

That’s what I think will happen.

people who get entitled to stuff and quit because they can’t get into a mythic raid seems more likely than non raiders converting to mythic raiders for one skin

Unsubbing immediately to send a message. I loved getting the Raz skin from season 1 AOTC. The only reason I was going to raid Abberus was the Sarkareth mount. Then ONE DAY before the patch they rug pull my motivation. You can shove this game Blizz.

They should have handled it like they did the Gladiator mount. Make a seperate mount that looks the same that drops on mythic, while the dragonriding skin is available to everyone.

I like that idea, actually.

Its a good idea that takes nothing from anyone. Mythic raiders get something more permanent while everyone else gets a customization for mounts we dont even know we get to use next expansion. Everyone wins.
