WoD unironically would be better for us than what wow is now. Wow is essentially a skinner box at this point. Back then you could get what you wanted and actually go do something else. Blizzard wants you stuck in game for ALL of your free time.
And giving a mount to 10k players will?
Get real
Are you aware the ratio that casual giveaway mounts to actually endgame goal mounts is probably more than 50:1?
That’s pretty cool not gonna lie.
So this huge pandering to the elite is what exactly?
Gladiator mount, a mount reskin from mythics, and a mount reskin from raiding?
3 whole mounts is Blizzard pandering to the elite?
It’s a reward for key completions at a mid level. It would boost participation and there would also be less key leavers since its completion based.
Something like this would actually help…the mount they put out won’t help anything
There’s a 2000 mount is there not? Do you play the game?
It will encourage those who stop at 10s to push to 12s.
If you don’t want to push to 12s that’s fine, you don’t get the reskinned KSM mount which is the casual reward you love.
Mythic rewards are already completion based, it won’t reduce leavers at all
You’ll have a repeat of before crests were implemented
(That was super geared people doing 2s cuz it was max efficiency so low headed people were never invited to low keys)
Now we’ll have super geared players doing 8s and people trying to progress never being invited cuz it’s not efficient
Grats, you brickwalled people moving past 8s
This reward won’t help participation on any meaningful level.
Remember the good old days of seeing people on cool mounts, thinking how awesome they were then trying to achieve your own?
Instead of being a sulking loser that gets their mounts out of a chest in the capital city
Not for you, but for my guild and a lot of others it will.
There are plenty of guilds out there that just stop at 10s cuz that’s where the rewards stop. I’ve had many 12 keys in my inventory but I always drop em to a 10. Haven’t stepped foot in a 12.
Just because content isn’t for you doesn’t mean it won’t be for other people.
Not every aspect of the game is going to appeal to every player and it never will.
It motivated me to do more
I used to clear normal raids at most
Now I do aotc and portals every season cuz I enjoy it and the rewards
Blizzard has to make rewards for high end players because they wouldn’t even push that high without them.
They don’t even enjoy pushing high keys, they just enjoy the exclusivity and “Highschool clique” mentality that it brings them.
It’s time to shift away from that thinking.
You would still achieve the rewards faster by weeks most likely but then everyone else could actually catch up and feel accomplished too.
And if the elite players didn’t like it, they can quit…after all, they’re a tiny minority anyway.
But people have been doing it this entire time without the mount, if anything it’s pretty amazing how popular M+ pushing is without any rewards
Why do you think they have to keep adding more and more to incentivize pushing high keys?
So the people who’ve been doing ultra high keys have been doing it for the mount that never existed
You really just wanna demonize anyone who does harder content than you
The… ONE thing?
Now there is a reason to tank them lol time to suffer I guess
Because it’s fun, and people that do it like it?
If they had the amount of participation they wanted, adding rewards for the high level players wouldn’t be happening.
