Alright, so, hear me out. With Hardcore coming to Classic soon, inevitably there is going to be the AQ opening event and the war effort and the looooooooooong quest, right? It’s going to be very difficult to achieve, ESPECIALLY on hardcore. At least one character needs to level to 60 and go through the ENTIRE chain with a guild and the community as a whole. Someone will eventually do it, 10 hour war is gonna happen, and then it locks everyone on the server out of EVER getting the mount. So, hear me out, what if there was no time limit on ringing the gong? It is a very very hard to achieve task to even get to AQ as a hardcore character, even level 60 is hard, but imagine going through the whole quest chain without dying once. I think that would deserve getting the mount, right? So my suggestion is don’t time gate the gong and the mount, if someone were to make it that far with or without help, they should get the mount. The best part is, that would make it theoretically possible to get this super duper and hard to obtain mount, if someone were to decide to devote such a large amount of time to it. Blizz has already said they’re allowing dead characters to transfer off hardcore servers, why not make an ultimate end-game goal for the dedicated few who wish to achieve this goal.
