Mythic Fyrakk mount should be tied to the CE achievement, not be a drop

I like that there are mounts tied to doing hard content. But having to farm mythic Fyrakk 10+ times to get it for your entire raid team is not great. Like the AOTC mount, the mythic mount should go to everyone on their first kill. There is no reason at all to farm a mythic end boss for months when the expansion is over. My guild surely will not farm it that many times (assuming we kill it with enough time to farm that long even if we wanted to).

Cosmetics that come from extremely difficult content should not just be a random drop. Everyone who does the thing should get the thing. It’s a memento of the experience.

If you want it to be a 0.1% drop after the tier ends, make it a drop then.

You’re saying two different things.

You want the mount tied to CE to represent the “I did a thing” mantra. CE goes away once the tier ends.

Then you say it can be a drop after the tier is over.

So which is it?

I’m fine with it being only tied the the achievement. I’m saying that if they want it to be a drop after, ok fine, make it a drop then–when the tier ends.

If someone wants to park their alts in the emerald dream in patch 15.0 to farm this, I don’t really care. But if someone does it the hard way, while the content is difficult, they should just get it.

Well, on the surface it seems like a good idea.

It’s battle of the DK masked alts in here so I find it hard to agree with anyone but you.

But yeah, sure, seems reasonable. It would basically just make it identical to the AotC mounts but for Mythic and with the option to try and farm it in following expansions. Makes sense.

All make sense, if you don’t think about the gold implications, wow token…etc around it being a single drop.

I don’t think too a big % of players in the mythic community care about cosmetics too much, that’s why I don’t like the excuse used by Blizzard regarding Legacy buffs, that they want 2 expansions for the mythic players to show off their progress before other players acquired those transmogs, cosmetics.

First the mount is a drop for 1 person as mentioned by OP, if they really wanted players to show off , the mount will be a reward for everyone…

I wonder how much gold moves these mythic mounts among the RWF guilds, since these groups required TONs of gold for each race.

Are they even still using that excuse? BfA is two back now and there’s still parts that aren’t soloable, I think.

Well…I’ve asked for Nzoth cloak requirement removal in every PTR during this expansion, its really difficult to gather a group for that…there’s not legacy dmg or changes yet.

They used that as an excuse during an interview, that they want the transmogs and cosmetics to remain rare for awhile and I wonder how many of those players actually care about those, because its already a small % of players that kill the last bosses on Mythic.

Does mythic have it’s own skin? I was only aware of the random drop (that can be had from LFR-Mythic, got mine in normal last week :slight_smile: ) and the skin you get from AoTC.

I’m talking about the fire owl that’s mythic only

It’s one of those things where blizz wants to inconvenience you by forcing you to farm the end boss for the big mount so you don’t just succeed and quit. It does suck though, when the guild gets the achievement very late, or peopel quit and don’t want to farm after they get theirs. I’ve ran into that problem before, especially on the old 5 man dungeon “hardmode” mount runs.

Ohhh cool, yeah I don’t know why it would be 1 per raid, instead of everyone in the group gets it. Maybe to help world first groups make push gold for upcoming seasons or something by selling ultra rare mounts to whales.

This is another layer of catering to Mythic raiders…

More people will buy tokens so they can buy mythic Fyrakk boosts, so the most catered-to part of the playerbase, namely mythic raiders, can also get more gold.

Ths will keep the mythic raiders logging on throughout the patch.

They don’t have to worry about them because they get them just doing what they do.

Sounds good to me :dracthyr_shrug:

The mounts being more readily available would probably drop the price.

I paid 500k for the water elemental back in BfA, no idea what the going price for mythic mounts is these days.

I really want that owl though.

Lol it’s fine, I still had that Legion money back then

Purse strings are a little lighter these days after a few expansion purchases with gold though

I was doing some googling, and I found a boosting site that’s offering it for $1,700 (which would obviously be a bannable offense for anyone participating in RMT)

I imagine it was bookmarked. :dracthyr_comfy_sip:

Oh yeah I ain’t messing with that nonsense. Besides, that’s an obvious scam lol. Hasn’t it only even been cleared a handful of times so far? Ain’t nobody got that on farm yet.
