You’ve said this a few times already. Don’t confuse peoples’ disinterest for willful neglect. As if them disagreeing with you would ‘ensure’ anything, which is laughable.

Trash post. Clearly people don’t have enough to talk about. The game we are getting is 1.12, with a steady rollout of raid and dungeon content to allow continuous progression. Any parts of the game that wasn’t available at the start of 1.12 won’t be in Classic - they were weeded out due to their insignificance. Your slow mount is one of them.

Getting my first mount which was a white ram was like finding 100$ out from a random spot somwhere. It was very special to me but also kinda weird how it worked for me at first.

Mounts doesnt really mean much to me anymore tho. Just another one of those “stuff” that no one really cares about anymore.

People care about mounts please take a look at the unarmored mount mega thread and if you care about this game show your support there

Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean no one else does.

Patch 1.12 unarmored mounts are nonexistent.
Blizz chooses 1.12 as the client patch that Classic will run on.
Why can’t we have unarmored mounts?!?
Patch 1.12 is why.

Except patch 1.12 had thousands of people with those mounts running around.

Ever get the feeling that Brack has a list of all of the preferred things that were in vanilla, and gleefully crosses them out after instructing the devs to do exactly not what was preferred? Almost as if he/they are really trying to make the “you think you do, but you don’t” line play out the way he wants it to.

For anyone unaware I highly encourage you to check out the Unarmored Mounts Megathread on this issue. A change .org petition has recently started up on this issue and is at the top of the forum over there at the time of writing this there are currently 111 signatures.

Whatever form implementing the unarmored mounts in Classic takes I support, whether that be temporarily or permanent.

Obtaining 1 or more of these mounts in Classic was the first prestigious moment I wanted to experience, without them I have no incentive to begin playing at launch.

These mounts were originally in Vanillas history for about 5.5 months. The decision to not include these mounts is a slippery slope. What will happen to events that were in the game for shorter time spans with this mentality (AQ opening, AQ black bug mount, Scourge Invasion, etc)?

I feel the argument for it affecting players play-styles is not strong either. The honor ranking system is much more intensive of players to attain, and speed levelers will exist regardless. Speed levelers race to level cap for various reasons but one of them is to capitalize on gathering nodes and the economy, which I feel could be more impactful to players than including these mounts are. There is no way to stop speed leveling or tell players the play-styles they should and should not find fun.

Many argue this is how it was in 1.12 and while true the mounts did not exist in game at that time, we are also not receiving 1.12 at launch. Blizzard is time gating content, items, vendor tables, etc to recreate a progressive Vanilla experience. Why are these mounts the only thing being excluded from a progressive vendor table?

I think these mounts should be viewed as an exclusive event in Vanilla’s history much like the AQ opening event, and Scourge Invasion event and be offered in game for the players of that time to experience once again.

Make sure to spread awareness of this issue, many players do not know these mounts are being excluded from the game because the old riding system is being implemented. They should be informed before it is too late so they have an opportunity to voice their opinion.

What happened to the Unarmored Mounts Megathread?

It appears to have been fully deleted, cannot find it in the search feature. If this is the case and it’s been done by Blizz and not the OP, it’s very poor form indeed. I did not support the petition, but I think deleting the thread is disgusting. Locking the thread and reviewing the feedback? Fair enough. Purging it from existence? Disgusting.

I was figuring as much, since I can not seem to find any history in my account, but I was hoping there was a reasoning as to why. I agree with you completely if the OP did not remove it and it was done by Blizz it is indeed very poor. I agree if they had a problem with it I can understand locking the thread, I can not fully understand deleting it entirely without reason though.

I believe Shimy was the OP of the Megathread and I was hoping he could respond and possibly shed some light on this situation.

It was most likely due to the petition: Blizzard doesn’t like it when people do them as it distracts players from feedback (which was the main point of that thread. >.<’)
