No Unarmored Mounts in Classic?

[Jokel-lightninghoof]

It was only after the deed was done and the armored mounts were gone did we realize that Blizzard meant the armored mounts to completely replace the earlier version.

In that respect, the unarmored versions aren’t really considered old content. They’re actually just the standard epic mounts pre-graphics update.

Then they should have just replaced everybody’s original mounts with the new graphics. They added new moounts, and changing was the player’s choice, therefore it was not just a graphics update.

Also, allowing in the unarmored version for 4 months would promote rushing to 60 get them.

• A big part of Classic is about the leveling experience. Promoting rushing to 60 is not good for the game.
• Also, it would be artificial, since there was no such motivation back in Vanilla. Vanilla players had no advance notice the armored ones were replacing the unarmored ones so did not know to rush to 60 and farm gold for them during the first 4 months.

And yet people did rush to 60 in vanilla, and did get the original epic mounts, or we wouldn’t even be talking about this issue. If Blizzard doesn’t want anyone rushing to 60, for whatever reason, they would have to implement time-gated leveling.

Neither of your arguments stands up to the slightest bit of consideration.

all these angry weirdos trying to argue against adding mounts that were in CLASSIC wow do not deserve classic wow. give us the mounts .

[Lasagna-frostwolf]

Everyone deserves Classic.

There are just a lot of reasons to add these mounts and not many real reasons to remove them. Most of the reasons to remove them given are easily remedied.

NO UNARMORED MOUNTS EVER

Nothing wrong with that.

[Grimes-kelthuzad]

I dont know why they wouldnt add them permanently at the very least.

[Xane-norgannon (Xane)]

Right? makes no sense.

[Miraari-sisters-of-elune]

Put them in and it’s one more thing for people to work towards, prolonging the life of Classic for many players. I honestly don’t see a downside.

this^ THIS ^ THIS^

[Grimes-kelthuzad]

Ya it really doesnt make any sense at all.

[Fallanaa-area-52 (Fallanaa)]

The downside is that people that harass and attack players for liking retail want them in the game.

That alone is enough of a reason for them to not be obtainable. Ever.

I was even planning on getting a second account to level up a hunter first so I wouldn’t have to rush with my main. No point in that now.

[Fesz-cenarius]

I’m curious as to your reasoning for wanting that unarmored mount on a hunter on a second account and not your main.

[Seid-caelestrasz]

I though since I’d have a high level alt first I could use it to run some early-level dungeons for my main. I’ve always wanted the whole defias set but the chest drops really rarely. I could always transfer the hunter onto my main account after.

1. I’m bummed about this. As a mainly Alliance player, I love the way unarmored sabers look. For Horde, I actually think that armored mounts look better.
2. On the main pservers, they used to have unarmored mounts in the game for the 1st 3 months or so, so yeah…
3. Ultimately, it’s not a giant deal.

it is a big deal… why are private servers able to give a more authentic vanilla experience than blizzard is?

Look. I love unarmored sabers and would love to have a chance to own one. I was one of the 1st ppl on this forum if not the
first to ask about this, months ago.

Ultimately however, it’s a small matter. I am much more upset about cross realm BGs. I was really looking forward to playing with and against skilled players that I saw over and over.
Accept it. You can’t fight The Man. We are getting a solid version of Classic, so unless something is game breaking, live with it and try to relax.

[Grimes-kelthuzad]

… your voice matters stop being so demoralized and rise up.

[Ashocck-kelthuzad]

You have to pick your battles. This is one you can’t win, nor is it worth the aggravation.

That’s something I often think about. Old AV, the old mounts, progressive patches and itemization and no CRBGs. I can understand that much of that is because blizzard wants to cut corners, and honestly that’s understandable, but that’s also why it’s so frustrating when they take out content that’s zero effort for them to include.
