Retail Mount for playing Classic

Couple things wrong with this “reward” option.

We already have enough server issues on our own, but now Bliz is rewarding tourist retail players to come jack up the servers even more?

This will give unrealistic numbers for servers people are trying to transfer to, or bogging up the que times even more for the already packed servers.

Majority of players going for this mount will just be Classic tourists and leave once complete, problem is this isnt the best time to promote this reward…Should have waiting for stable servers.

Also where is the Classic equivalent? Why do Classic players get the shaft, give us something for going to Retail, which is a lot harder to promote for a Classic player. Retail players will easily come to Classic for a quick mount reward since Retail is nothing but a collection game now. But nothing offered for the Classic players to try Retail…what a joke.

They just gave away Shadowlands and a free 50 boost to classic players.

Servers with queue times are locked to new character creation. This won’t have any meaningful impact on servers.

First DK not requiring a level 55 will help bots and gold sellers though.

Technically, it was to anyone who has played retail before and doesnt have shadowlands. So new accounts created for classic wouldn’t qualify. But the majority of the classic playerbase are ex-retail or current retail players.

Whut? If you play classic, you get shadowlands and a free boost on retail?

6

This isnt a reward for Classic players, this is a promotion to get more people to play Retail. Classic players get nothing from it like Retail players get for playing Classic.

They can’t do it on locked servers.

so, there is no problem.

8

It will cause false numbers for the other servers though. so yes it is still an issue.

9

So, the problem is that you’ll have your feelings hurt. I see.

It’s a cool mount, and I was already playing Wrath anyway, so hey, win-win for me

Clearly a troll that doesnt get the picture.
Move on sir.

The issue is, there are load of people leaving servers. If they leave a server for a “high pop” server but that high pop is because of the large amounts of Retail tourist just getting their free mount then never play again. Those Classic players will have to live with long term effects because of a short term promotion.

12

All of the servers that are now locked due to high population were locked before the mount was even announced, so, I’m not sure what it is you’re worried about either

13

There are high pop servers NOW that are unlocked…
I guess some of yall just to thick skulled to think of the long term effect of a short term promotion.

Im not made at the promotion. Im mad about the timing of said promotion.

Do you really think getting aggressive and confrontational is how you’re going to garner any sympathy for your point of view?

15

Did I ask for sympathy?

16

You’re clearly hurt by something and posting about it on a public forum, so, yes?

17

You’re a troll crying in the forums, trying to make an argument.

Please, take your leave.
