I know this has been brought up before but now is as good a time as any to bring it up again since blizzzard is finally listening to players feedback. Old world bossses need to have their spawn timers set to 5 minutes. Pretty much anyone who farms mounts will tell you the pain of almost getting to an old world boss for it to die right before you can tag it and knowing you have to wait 30 mins for another chance. You arent doing anything productive in the game now for 30 minutes because if you go for another one chances are its going to happen again or when you kill that one you wont have time to make it back to the first one. Right now blizzard needs to be doing everything in their power to make fun content to keep us invested. Not ways to keep us wasting time in the game while not actually doing anything because that ends up causing burn out from boredom. This change takes nothing from anyone and only increases the value of the players time. Now i also believe blizzard needs to implement an account wide counter for old content mounts so when you kill the target a certain ammount of times and still have not received the mount the next time is a guranteed drop. That will have to be a topic for after they lower the spawn timers. RNG is a fine system but it should not be the only system. There should always be a guranteed way to aquire everything in this game.
Mop world bosses also need reasonable drop rates on their mounts.
Even 1 in 500 isn’t too crazy but 1 in 2000-3000 might as well not even bother.
How about just logging in?
15 minutes is fine
Sha laughter in the distance...
This triggers me. 
MoP WB mounts are a fool’s errand. If you see someone on one of them it’s always safe to assume they bought it from the BMAH. Even if they tell you it was a drop, assume they’re lying.
The amount of people I see that have never played other games to know life can be better is sometimes astonishing.
World of Warcraft needs to come to 2022 and stop living in 2004 if it hopes to endure.
FF14’s mount system is PERFECT.
Low drop rate, BUT when you farm a boss, you collect a coin. After 100 kills, you can just go and buy the mount with the coins basically. That is VERY reasonable. It allows the players to actually move on and see the entire game rather than be stuck for years on the same place.
Bad luck protection. Not a wild idea.
This.
This is game design that supports your players actually doing and wanting to do your content. Developers complain that people don’t even see half of what they create… it’s because it sucks to even try to complete it in a reasonable time.
Oh really, hhhhmmmmm, i have been been playing this game since 2006. I currently have over 574 mounts, over a dozen chars lvl 50 and 4 currently 60. I have killed multiple world bosses and raids bosses 100s if not 1000 of times and have not received certain mounts. I am not asking to give me it after killing a boss once. I am asking for 2 things, make it so im not sitting around doing nothing for 30 mins while waiting for a world boss to spawn and set aquire limits on things like old content mounts. With the current % you can literally kill these guys every week till this game eventually closes down and still never receive the mount. We need less trolls in this game an more support and respect for peoples money and more importantly time.
I remember when I fooled myself into thinking “I’ll get these mounts passively farming gear for all my characters!” 
You are still literally sitting around doing nothing for no reason. There is not a reason to make it more than 5 mins other than just making things that are wasting peoples play time by not actually playing anything. With 5 mins if it dies you can quickly walk away and go the bathroom or get a drink and not worry about missing it again. Time gates are what has been hurting this game for years when there is not a legitimate reason to have it.
There it is again…
“I pay so I should get everything without any effort” you pay for access, that’s it.
Respect your time? This game is a waste of time, it always has been. It’s like watching a movie, 2 hours gone in an instant, but this is interactive.
If they did this, they’d need to get rid if the zone-wide tells because that gets very repetitive. Even questing in Valley of the four winds you hear a lot of “LOOOOT AND PILLAAAAAAAGE!!” and it gets real old
Once again troll you fail to see what i was saying or are purposely being an antagonistic jackass. When you pay a monthly sub and are doing content where you are purposely forced to not do anything it is a waste of time and money. And once again i am not asking anything for my money or time. I am asking to make it so im not sitting around for 30 mins for no legitimate reason. And everyones time is precious since we have a finite amount of it and if i choose to spend it playing their game they should respect it by not creating meaningless time dumps and investing more in meaningful content. And everything is literally a waste of time. Its about getting enjoyment out of what you are wasting time on. Now do everyone a favor and go waste other peoples time because i sure dont want to waste anymore of mine on another useless troll.
Thanks for clearing that up…
Rukhmar has a 15 min spawn timer. Sha of Anger has a 10-20 min spawn timer and a short period where everybody can tag him before he starts taking damage. No one can time it so these bosses are still alive when you fly in.
Not true. I have never bought anything off the BMAH. I have 3 of those mounts. The only way to improve your chance of getting it is with an army of alts. On Pandaren world bosses in particular, bonus rolls count. I got the nalak mount on a bonus roll.
So you don’t have a team optimized for mount hunting.
Do you use rarity or not?
Which doesn’t happen. Get WorldBossTimers to help you understand how spawn times work.
A player with no alts should have zero expectation of getting those mounts. But actually I’ve spoken to several who think they should get 1:2000 mounts often.
I am approaching 2000 kills on the Sha of Anger. I’m not upset every time I spot him and he goes down before I get there. I’d be fine with an account-wide bad luck protection that kicked in when you reach the theoretical drop rate. Or they could raise it a bit.
Misrepresenting the timers on those mounts is not helping your cause.
What are you talking about? For a long times in other expansions i was literally running 12 chars through the mop wb then ending with isle of thunder for the raid for those mounts. You literally get burned out from how much time you are wasting sitting there waiting for them to spawn because 9 times out of 10 they were just killed before you got there. A 5 min respawn timer is the least they can do for old content so the bare minimum thing i asking for is not sitting around wasting time. I had no problem with the timelost, aeonaxx, riding camel or voidtalon because once you got them that was it. With old wb just in mist and say add rukhmar if you are unlucky with timing you will literally be sitting there doing nothing for a combined roughly 2 hours per char farming if you have none of them. Now make them all 5 mins that would be a max of 25 mins. Do you understand what i am saying? THats more time in what some people already barely have free time to either run another char for it or lvl another char to add to the roster to farm.
As an avid veteran mount collector, I agree. A common theme these days, particularly in relation to WoW, is respecting a player’s time. I think the drop rate for MoP world bosses are nuts, however, I can live with the idea of farming for 10+ years on 25+ toons. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time. But for the love of baby jesus, stop wasting a player’s time by waiting 15 minutes for a boss to respawn.
Annoying necro but yes, no reason why bosses can’t just be 5 min respawns and reset their lockout daily.
Even better too would be adopting the FFXIV method where you collect motes off the bosses that can eventually be turned in for the mount after X amount of runs/times and being unlucky.
Once something is legacy content status, it really should just be opened up way more to folks to farm stuff.
