I must heavily disagree here. The achievement text has stated otherwise (“any difficulty”) and getting group manually for Normal at the tail end of an expansion is a bit painful, especially as a casual player. I liked the Friendship Moose days, but honestly that was only so successful because it hinged off the death of one boss… not three separate raid tiers.
Edit: Of course tonight they’ve hotfixed the text to specify Normal. They really are doubling down on this.

They have been saying “Jelly Cat Sr., obtained by completing all Fated raids on Normal Difficulty.” The achievement in the ALPHA still said Defeat the following bosses on any difficulty while in a Fated raid BECAUSE IT IS STILL A ALPHA AKA Not playable by the general public still being worked on always changing, Not finished, Somethings will change before the beta and retail launch. They didn’t pull a sneaky one over anyone. They did no bait and switch with no dev talking about it. They did talk about it they said “Jelly Cat Sr., obtained by completing all Fated raids on Normal Difficulty.” People see something datamined or posted from a alpha client and take it as FINAL SAY. Nothing I repeat NOTHING IN ALPHA is final and will change anytime for whatever reason and they don’t have to post a reply of why it was just now changed when they already stated what it was planed to be.
Please make it doable in LFR. Especially since this mount’ll be going away with Dragonflight.

Nobody needs the mount, it’s cosmetic.
Normal is puggable.
Same amount of stuff to kill. Same layout. If you have time for one there’s no reason you wouldn’t have time for the other.

Normal is actually easier than LFR given the amount of people who join LFR, hit the boss and then go afk until they wipe and repeat or kill the boss then move on.
The people who don’t know what they are doing and click spells from inside their spell book and don’t avoid damage.
Add the fated affixes to this and imagine what a mess it is going to be
People just make excuses so they don’t have to go find a group, I play 10 hours a week and I manage to get my mythic 15 mount and pug normal, this season I most likely won’t get the mythic 15 mount or the slime kitty because I guess it’s a short patch and it will take me months to gear up and guess what I don’t care.
People are just scared to join normal pugs and I don’t understand why as they are most likely good players that are more than capable… either that or they are the typical person I described above
That being said it would have been nice for them to give the LFR people a version of the mount I can’t understand why they didn’t since they are doing the raids with the affix

The current issue is when it came to Friendship Moose/Birds etc its easy to carry a few people at a time through 1 Heroic Boss kill like Argus/N’Zoth.
The problem right now as it stands is you need to kill all 31 bosses on Normal Difficulty. It’s going to be a pain to carry people through all 31 bosses compared to the AotC mounts where we had boss skips and just killed 1 boss.
You should really considered making the achievements for the Slime Cat only require Sire, Sylvanas, and Jailer kills on normal.
However if you are dead set only requiring a player to kill all 31 Bosses for the mount then LFR should be able to count towards it.

And I get my Gavel of the Arbiter and Old Warrior Soul and want to heal.
Get it?
The applies to armor mostly. Trinkets and weapons (which the vendor sells, does not)
Honestly? I think they are trying to wean us off the Lego teat before Dragonflight
There is just so much saddness in this post, season 4, and the hot fix to change the text from any difficulty to normal or higher.
The mount is really cool, but I’ll never be able to commit to hitting a rotating target in a short window. If it was normal or higher from the start would never have looked forward to it.
It’s something that is being taken away last minute, the oh switcheroo you see from fair games and online scams.

Where is this vendor?
Servers are live with the new patch and these broker vendors are nowhere to be found.
Can I get a clarification? Does Rae’shalare and Edge of Night drop in NON-fated versions of Sanctum now?
Is there any chance we can alter the Dinar quest line, to include M+?
Say, complete 30 Fated raid bosses or Mythic keystone dungeons, and just place a weekly cap on the coins you can obtain? Lets not leave M+ players out of the system
They never stopped dropping to begin with, but their ilvl is still low until FATED week. Good luck getting anyone to run sanctum non-fated week thought, no one will want to try.
There already is a cap on dinars — three for the entire S4.

Curious, where did he say that if you happen to have an interview link?
It’s kind of hard to deliver actually new content in a season thrown together by 2-3 people while everyone else work’s on dragonflight
I’m sure Blizzard could’ve added a fourth to make some sort of “fated world quests”. They’re smart, creative people.

I wanna say it was his interview with Asmongold but I might be wrong we had so many interviews that month.
