Only have to look as far as the M+ mount being a recolor (a barely different recolor mind you), and the sapphire skyblazer launching that same week.
Thereâs your cool mount not on the shop now go get it
at the time? they absolutely did. there was a reason the spectral tiger was so coveted.
have you seen the level of detail on this one?
thatâs just one example.
yes. absolutely, there are some awesome looking shop mounts.
And, yes, absolutely, there are a ton of bland in-game mounts.
but itâs a flat out lie to claim there arenât also awesome looking in-game mounts.
as simple as it is, this is one of my favorites:

I mean, Iâm not a huge fan of great looking mounts in the store. Which is why until now Iâve never gotten one.
But they have at least kept somewhat of a balance between available in game, promotions, and store mounts in my view. That said, Iâm all for them taking some of these more exclusive mounts and having recolors available in game more readily after awhile.
More things to work on and collect isnât a bad thing. And you let people be special for awhile.

I 100% agree with this.
lookâŚ
there are only 21 store mounts
and how many NOT store mounts? Iâm too lazy to count all the squares.
yet every. single. time. they add a new store mount, no matter how many non store mounts theyâve added, we get people whining about it. itâs so silly.
edit: thereâs a counter at the top of the simple armory page
there are 707 possible mounts
686 not store
21 store
I think people who donât like store mounts can just take a big giant dose of get the heck over it.

Thatâs fair.
Honestly, Iâve found most of the store mounts to be really âmehâ on the whole, and definitely wouldnât spend money on them.
I would totally work towards a recolored Hogrus, Fey Dragon, or Shu-zen though. I like the models, but definitely not enough to actually pay for them. I certainly feel they should be exclusive for a few years though. Like this cat mount is awesome, and Iâd love a black version. Maybe as a halloween event reward in a few years. That kind of thing. Seems a shame to waste the work on models with just a store mount for some of these.
Squeakers comes close though. And this is making me think I should actually go do the stupid hearthstone promo to get the new rat.

if it helps, the promo was really easy. took about 10 minutes, and Iâve only played hearthstone once before in my life - years ago, to get the hearthsteed.
The argument is always âtheyâre not unique like store mounts!â
Would buy if the mount didnt have a too big saddle. As usual ruined. To those who like it, enjoy 
to that I reply

Iâm glad most of those store mounts are unique though. And not because I have them and want to be specialâŚ
That could be why it does look out of place.
Sure as hell hoping so. I aiming to buy it and that drippy boat this year.

I seriously doubt it will be discounted this year. they typically donât discount the newest stuff. most likely next year.

Nice. I like the kitty a lot. What I want most though is the pig mount and the bull mount. They are so cute, especially the pig. Hahah I love that pig.
I like the pig, the bull would be a lot better if it didnât have wings sprouting out of its belly.

Those mounts are nice. But none of them look as good or stand out as much as the new shop kitten mount.
The Sylvanas mount is very drab in color. The other mounts are mostly just horses. But that kitten REALLY stands out.
Same is true for pretty much all of the recent shop mounts.
- they tend to have unique artwork
- they really stand out from the pack
- they have a much higher attention to detail in artwork, creativity and animation than mounts obtained from playing the game. It just looks like the devs put a lot more time and effort into the shop mounts.
