I’m not one asking for them back but I still /swoon at the Armored Netherdrakes.
While I’d be in support of it, the “NO MY PIXELS ARE PRECIOUS” crowd would scream and kick the entire way (as if anyone else doesn’t already). A neat idea there are lots of “expired” mounts/items I’d love to see return even if for short periods here and there.
it sounds like it’s decided then. blue please make it happen
Dude, you just made me spit out my wine onto my keyboard. I was not expecting to laugh so hard. Good catch and good burn.
How about no. You didn’t earn it
Nah, those mounts can stay exclusive.
Now the elite pvp sets on the other hand…
So, why does the gold trophy get to remain exclusive, but bronze and silver need to be made available again?
Nice bias.
Should def bring back the old glad mount models, and should also keep them out of reach of these terribad players wanting them for free lol.
‘effort’ being never logging off of this game for months at a time.
Some achievement.
Blizz should have rewards and mounts available to those who actually log out to go to work, those who contribute to society and smell fresh air, those to strive for a balanced life; not just to those who have the time to never log off of this game.
You know what they should do though?
A vendor with old elite sets that you can only buy if you have at least 1 piece of the set.
I have a few old ones I never finished because I ran out of points before the season finished.
It would get me back into pvp. It’s so broken and comp specific, your class is picked to be so niche. You are stuck with the playstyle that blizz gives you in pvp.
I wouldn’t mind an alternate way to get those mounts such as paying 200 marks of honor or something.
No you didn’t make the cut just live with your failure of not completing them! At least thats what i would take from the loving wow community members who responded here. Actually I do believe elitism gear hurts the game, seen allot of paid carried people sport their accomplishments.
Translation:
I’m gunna make excuses as to why I can’t compete at the level I need to for a gladiator mount atm so make it easier to get.
Leave the gladiator mounts, if you want one, get better at the game and take time to learn it. If not, too bad you’re not entitled to one.
As someone who really wanted the hippo but went into like two rated pvp things and noped right on out of them I think this would be a horrible idea. 
I’d love a recolor of some of these armored drake mounts, while keeping the glad mounts original.
Did I offend you? In some way… 200 marks of honor is quite of bit of playing pvp…
I hate that you guys want to force arena stuff. In overwatch I pvp casually on quickplay just cause I don’t like the longer matches of competitive… but I still pvp and face players that play competitive. The same is true for battlegrounds, you face people who do arena yet get less then there rewards? So what if it takes longer to get then them.
Rewarding someone who excels at a certain aspect of the game is “forcing” you to do anything. You want it, put in the work. If you don’t like what it takes to get the gladiator mount, then you don’t really want the gladiator mount.
They are making them account bound now. They have made them more attractive. As an altholic they didn’t really interest me before, but I did used to pvp and forcing arena when there are battlegrounds is weird. The pvp game is balanced around arena but it isn’t the thing I enjoy to play and it would be nice to have other sources to get those mounts in pvp. I used to just like doing battlegrounds. I don’t like how only a specific percentage of pvpers are rewarded stuff that goes away. It’s why I shy away from it. Because blizz controls the way your class functions, they force you into a niche, and ideally you would separately want a pvp toon and pve toon because the stats are all over the place. Anyways I would appreciate other options to get those mounts. Such as 200-500 marks of honor. That is my input. Pvp participation is at an all time low. You need to do so much just to maintain competitiveness that you need to play this game a bunch just to stay there, and other games are less of a commitment for it and just as or more fun : ).
I hate that they made all the new racial mounts redone soley into gladiator mounts, I have never really gotten that into arena and it is a shame all those updated models don’t get used as much as other mounts.
There are no racial mounts that are gladiator mounts. You are probably thinking of vicious mounts which this thread is not about. Those can be earned at 1400 rating just by getting wins. Gladiator mounts are way different.
I like this guy.
He is like the PvP version of the Mage Tower whiners.
