I remember it like it was yesterday…Xmas Eve of 2017…Legion in full swing…I was alone over the holiday…as usual playing wow. No guildies on comms no irl friends or family to hang out with and I said to myself “might as well go try for invincible in Ice Crown”…run through the place , slay the king… BAM invincible drops…best xmas ever even though it was just me and WoW.
This xmas I find myself alone again and wondering “would be cool if blizz had mounts for people with no fam that only dropped on holidays” (kinda like headless horseman) except the drop is guaranteed based upon number of hours you play over a holiday when most people are with family. So like ill be on all xmas eve when everyone else is doing happy irl things…the game tracks that ive been on while most people are off and then POOF drops some sweet mount you can only get if you are living a life of quiet desperation. The mount could look like Eeyore from winnie the poo or like a giant sad Yeti or something. I think players with no one to hang with should get presents from blizz.

I’m sorry your lonely, but I doubt a mount will solve your issues.
Also, how would Blizz know you’re lonely? Would everyone have to write a sad story on the forums to get this mount?

I’m thankful the game doesn’t do this - nor will likely.

I’m not sure what this would accomplish other than “I’m sad and now my mount is sad”. It wouldn’t even be a feel-good mount to obtain. Your issues run deeper I think, and no mount will fix that. It might be time for some introspection.
There are many helpful, positive avenues one could pursue to try and deal with your problems, and there’s no shame in asking for help if you need it. It takes real strength to admit you have a problem. This comes from someone who was at the event horizon once upon a time and clawed my way back.
With God you never alone.

Lol so basically pity rewards for being lonely?
I don’t think pixels are gonna help you feel any less terrible, ahah.
Can only be “cured” with social interaction.
I’m always gaming around Christmas and talking and being social with others online, my holidays are generally pretty short with family, so more time with friends and strangers, making new friends.
There’s a lot of people in the same boat as you, can always reach out and hang with 'em in-game.
If I said “I’m lonely” in trade chat, it would immediately spark conversation.
I’m “lonely” give me free stuff.

What I see here is longing for a way to mitigate the suffering and loneliness of being solitary on the Holidays. Here’s a thought.
The game client monitors how many hours you’ve played over the Holiday, just like you say, and then, instead of a mount that would only provide temporary relief, the client sends a gigawatt of energy right to your keyboard!
ZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAP!
Solved.
Fixed. Same with grammar N*zis.
Why not go out? I mean I don’t know how it’s in the US, but here in EU we usually go out to public places. Seriously, do that if you can, don’t depress yourself further by spending the holydays totally alone. Be around other people. Even if you don’t talk to them.

Can we skip the mount and find me a nice intellectual redhead instead?
