The data is in on Wowhead, the Junkheap Drifter has a .5% drop rate, and the Rusty Mechanocrawler has a .2% drop rate.
I was doing them on 7 characters a day, but with drop rates like that, this is a waste of time, I’m done, unsubbed.
I was expecting the mounts to have a similar drop rate to the Warfront ones, this is a huge step backwards. Long respawn, low droprate, the worst of both worlds.
It follows the pattern of them wanting you to stay logged in, just like with the island expedition mounts.
Feels like everything in the game just keeps getting lower lol. Mount drop chances from 1% to x. Dailies used to give 250 rep are now giving 75.
Okaaaayy byyyyyye.
I’m all for unsub posts with valid complaints but this is stupid. It’s a rare drop off of a rare spawn, did you expect to walk into Mechagon and have everything in the first two weeks?
I expected the drop rate to be AT LEAST 1% . AT LEAST.
Anything lower than that is a massive waste of time, and disrespectful to their subscribers.
Some people didn’t look at the meta and realize how long you are expected to be in Mech.
If you want to complete the meta, you are going to be there a minimum of fifty days.
lol.
Not much of a mount hunter if this turns you off.

I’ve been killing the Sha with ten characters every week for years. Allow me to play you a song on a very tiny violin. If you want easy mounts, go roll through the warfronts like you seem to enjoy so much. Some things should still be rare.
You can buy that one on the bmah, though.
For gold cap, sure. I’m not that good at the AH and I’m not dropping $800 for a mount, so a-farming I will go.
I paid 800k for mine so it was worth it to do that than waste hours farming for sha, lol. it’s easier to go to a dead server and pay around 1 mill for that, Nalak, and Galleon than to waste time farming it.
What happens when you have all the mounts OP? You going to unsubscribe anyhow once the collection is complete?
What happens when you camp a .2% mount and never get it, Icyjustice? You gonna stay subscribed anyhow when you are just wasting your time?
If you consider it time wasted, then don’t do it. It’s just a mount.
This isn’t hard.
I play the game to gear up and clear raids. Not to collect mounts. Add this thread to the trash pile of low ilvl crybaby’s who unsub because they don’t get what they want 2 weeks into new content.
If this is all that takes you to unsub then its probably for the best. If it wasnt going to be this it wouldve been something else soon enough.
Dude all mounts drop rate shouldn’t be the same. If you cant handle low drop rates why even bother collecting mounts. This has been a thing for long time. It’s nothing new. Unsubbing over mount drop rate to me is ridiculous. What are you the “give give me” type. Are you new to WoW?
Seriously I’ve farmed Invincible for years. All MOP World Boss that give mounts since MoP launch. Only seen Invincible dropped once for a friend. Do you see me whining over drop rate. Some mounts aren’t meant to be a guarantee drop. Rares are included.
I think we are missing the point here. I am an avid mount collector, and I can be objective and see that this is not a step in the right direction.
I understand that there are very low drop rates on past mounts, this doesn’t mean that the game can’t improve on this, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Making fun of the OP because of their frustration doesn’t make you superior, it just makes you an elitists and pretentious person.
RNG on top of RNG IS a problem in this game and it doesn’t make the game better. It’s ironic that people defend it when it comes to mounts. When the same model is applied to gear people riot.
In the past, absolutely all mounts that come from rare spawns in unpredictable and long spawn timers have had a 100% drop chance. (ex. Aeonaxx, Time-Lost, etc.) This time not only you combat unknown spawn timers, and dozens of players camping, but on top of that a less than 1% chance of drop. That is bad game design, not “challenging” design.
We need to be able to see where the game sincerely needs improvement instead of band wagoning for the sake of rubbing it in other people’s faces.
Just throw alts at them, that’s how you get the really rare stuff outside of dumb luck in this game.
Most things seem to be pretty quick spawn times compared to the 100% mount rares which can take days to show up.
The respawn rate is 30-60m for both rares, “throwing alts at them” is literally a full time job.
