It’s pretty easy to achieve. And among mount community there is people with higher number over different mount. Just with original character cap of 15 back then in cataclysm, it would surpass that number.
I do agree with this, can even be more then frustrating in some instances.
I do not really have any other mount that interest me at this time. I’m not even a mount collector, it’s just that one Phoenix I’ve been obsessed with.
That White Hawkstrider is a meme with me. I got it a long time ago, but ever since they added BC Timewalking, I legit get that mount almost every event, lol. Last BC TW event I had it drop for me twice. Meanwhile, I’ve ran thousands of TW dungeons trying for the Infinite Timereaver so when I see something purple that momentary WOOT hits followed by the “Gosh Dangit, stupid Hawkstrider again”. >_<
Also, I should start running Kara for the updated Midnight, but I’m lazy and the removal of the portal makes it too much work. 
lol no it wouldn’t. Over the 8 years since you first killed him, you would need to kill him every single week on 65 characters just to hit that number.
Not sure what college you go to but your math are pretty bad.
College? Multiplication and division is college level now?
Schools really are going down hill.
PS: Posting on an alt doesn’t change the math
A nice solution would make them bind on use. I have several dups sitting in my banks that I don’t have the heart to trash.
I have 3 horseman mounts, 2 brewfest kodos, 2 brewfest rams, a handful of assorted dragons, several store mounts, back from when you had to “use it” on all of your guys to add it to the tab. All just taking up space and collecting dust.
If they made them sellable I could bring a lot of joy to a few people and probably buy a cute brontosaurus.
Quick maths. Assuming 10 years, with 52 weeks per year. That’s 520 weeks. Multiply that by 50(the current character cap). That only comes up to 26,000.
I’m not great at math(Science and English were more my jam) but assuming I figured correctly…If you had ran 50 characters per week, since 2010, at most it’d be 26,000. But the cap wasn’t always 50. Which by default detracts quite a bit. So, I’m gonna have to side with Sabbia on this one.
But again, math isn’t my strong suit so I could be wrong, regardless 27,000 is just over exaggerated no matter how you try to spin it.
That’d be nice. I always ask if anyone wants it, usually someone does so it doesn’t go to waste at least. But a few times no one does, sadly bagspace is at a premium so I can’t justify keeping duplicates, lol.
Then get better at it.
52 weeks x 10 years = 520 runs x 50 toons in a single account = 26,000 + 2 more characters running the same = 1,040 + 26,000 = 27,040 runs on 52 toons for 10 years.
I’ve got a friend who’s got 3 accounts.
Actual math makes OP’s story quiet plausible.
So yeah, I’ll trust the math.
50 toons per account since Wrath for sure. That was 2008. Might have been earlier.
Someone literally just posted it above you and it still doesn’t add up. The character cap wasn’t 50 back then. Not only that, their achievements say 2012.
Please redo your math.
LOL, no.
What are you even talking about? The only recent update is to allow have 50 on single realm. https://www.wowhead.com/news=290482/characters-per-realm-limit-increased-to-50-in-patch-8-1-5
It still doesn’t add up. Like no matter how you spin it, it doesn’t work lol.
Rofl, nice.
Not really. You forgot the important part.
The odds of not getting a 1% drop rate mount after 27000 runs is about 1.41x10^(-116)%
Not very likely at all.
Lol yes, since launch.
~ 50 Character Limit - #40 by Teufelgott-shadowsong
You’re thinking of per realm, not per account.
I’ve ran it 300,000,001 times since 2006 and I got it every time.
Sorry bout your bad luck.
Yeah, you’re right. Still doesn’t add up though since achievements are account wide.
That’s impressive given that the gold cap is 10 million.
Not sure what the point of all the hyperbole is. It’s possible to be frustrated with real numbers (I was certainly feeling burnt out by the time I got it but that said I’m still grateful it was still available at all)
Oh yeah, missed that part. Good catch lol.
