With the Burning Crusade Timewalking event coming this Tuesday Feb. 14, just wondering will there be any drop rate increases to the Infinite Timereaver. Seeing as how all world bosses got their drop rates increased and the Big Love Rocket got its drop increased it would be nice to see this buffed as well.

Yeah we can apply the “not fun” excuse they used with the Love Rocket to this mount too. It’s not fun killing hundreds or thousands of TW bosses. This mount should be moved to the Cata TW vendor and sold for 5000 badges like the other mounts.

sigh, Saturday, since Tuesday i compiled around another estimated 400-500 timewalking boss kills which can be added to my already estimated 50k to maybe around 80k+ boss kills over the course of almost a decade since the mounts release and still nothing : (
need a drop rate increase. all the other mounts got it.

There’s a relation between drop and attempts, the timereaver can be grind a lot each TW week, compared to love rocket or world boss mounts.
World boss mounts received an increase just because Evoker class trigger a bug, otherwise I doubt devs had that in mind.
Love rocket needed changes for years and there’s still issues with that limited boost…
However, I agree, the timeraver can be grind by spamming TW dungeons but that could cause a big burn out in the player if the RNG doesn’t provide results, that’s why a lot of mounts required some kind of bad luck protection but there’s some players here that value time wasted…“rarity”…
yea like no jokes. im at min 50k tw boss kills with possible 80k+ over the years. and not only did i not get it yet. i have only ever seen it drop once. and that was wod tw-ing event just a few weeks ago. someone in group got it to drop. 1st time i ever seen it drop.

PLEASE BLIZZARD WE’RE BEGGING YOU…
I’ve been farming this mount for seven years. I think I’m around 10,000 kills? Never seen it drop for ANYONE in group.

I pulled it on my 10th boss fight I just hit lvl 60 today
That’s pretty lucky. I’ve leveled over a dozen toons in these last few weeks, seen only 1 person get it. I got mine years ago when alt leveling though.
I’m a new player this is my first account it’s been a good game so far I just need the pack so I can get to 70 it’s a sick skin
So personally I think these 1 in 1.000-4.000 drops are bad design, maybe when it comes to fishing mounts it’s fine, for example sea turtle, riding turtle, sea ray, because typically you can get 4 casts within a minute, while you obviously can’t kill 4 tw bosses in 1 minute or do 4 sha kills in 1 minute etc., but for stuff that takes a while to collect thousands of kills it’s way too time consuming, you risk having to dedicate years with huge armies of characters to get a single mount with those drop rates if you’re really unlucky on a particular mount.
I am one of those who got annoyed because of the effort (in eu ofc) I put into getting all world bosses before drop rate change, but I think they should NEVER had such a low drop rate, should draw the line at 1 in 200 imo.
There’s still the bad luck factor which can bring you to kill a boss 1000 times even if it has a 1 in 200 drop rate, it will happen to 1 every 200 people to need that many kills.
As it’s the case I also have the timereaver in eu, but I wasn’t even able to drop it by myself: 4.874 attempts, nothing, but at the same kill (last boss of iron docks) a friend of mine who I had recently found again after losing touch in 2019, who’s always been lucky on mounts, got it after 102 kills and gave it to me, otherwise I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think I could’ve hit 10k kills without mount yet, it’s quite typical for the timereaver for unlucky people.
This is the last very low drop mount left, I don’t think a 1 in 500 drop rate would hurt it, its drop rate was so horrible that I prefer doing tw dungeons to level NOW that I already have the mount, compared to when I was farming it, so it’s more of a demotivational than a motivational factor, that 1 in 4k drop.
I’m gonna say, as long as 1 in 1k or worse drops are left in the past and they don’t start throwing around more, I’m ok with improving the timereaver’s drop rate.
But I will always prefer that mounts had the same drop rate from the moment they’re introduced, and a reasonable one at that, such as 1 in 200 for all of them, instead of having people farm for several years at an abysmal drop rate, then improving it by 20x, and having people who now get all world bosses mounts in a month.
Funny you’re hiding behind a level 10, 20 achievement point forum alt to share this.
he’s mostlikely an european 
So… he has a special account specifically to troll forums in a region he’s not part of. Noted.
Dropped on my second run in timewalking. Whats the big deal again?
Wait till you read the wowhead comments of sha of anger… some people reported over 22,000 kills. Absolutely insane to think about killing him that many times for one mount. That probably took the guy thousands of hours. EVEN if he had timers knowing about when it was going to spawn (10-20min spawn timer for a while now).
You’re right though, any mount leas then 1 in 200 should have it’s chances in line with that number, at the absolute maximum. Even then you’ll get unlucky, I have over 600 guldan kills and I’ve not seen the mount…
No…nOOOOOOO YOU MUST SUFFER LIKE I DID TO GET THIS MOUNT!!! PeriSH MORTALS
This one is different from the others. It is best farmed in a level 3 garrison with a level 3 fishing pond in a party or raid (every member needs a level 3 fishing pond).
I’m just glad I got this mount eventually. Took about 2-3k kills over the course of a few years though. But yea. A really bad drop rate. Probably one of the worst in the game.
