The appeal of most mounts is their rarity
This may be true for you, but that doesn’t mean it is for everyone. I have plenty of rare mounts I never use, and plenty of common mounts I have set to favorite. Some of us just like the way certain things look, and aren’t worried about how special it makes us feel to have something others don’t.
I have a ton of mounts of them i use only 4 regularly, ashes, the yak, arcanist manasaber and hearthstone horse. everyone will always have their favourites, maybe the slime cat will become someones favourite, or the fel drake.
As long as it counts as a +1 in my mount collection, I don’t care.

Ehh many tend to match their mount to their transmog moreso than anything else
…and yet time and time again, we see people saying “everyone should be able to have everything! i have x rare thing, and wouldn’t care if everyone had it!”
those people live on the forums not in game dont believe a word they say
that’s been you since the announcement lol
At the end of the day… its just another mount for the collection and will no longer be obtainable after 3 days.
thats not possible cuz i went camping and had no internet on wednesday night
It will probably be worse than the Slime Cat, about 10% of people have the slime cat. Im sure the feldrake will reach a much higher percentage since all you have to do is click on a stream. In terms of time dedicated, it takes longer to get the slime cat doing the 3 fated raids than having a stream open for 4 hours. What a joke.
As if, reactions now are ‘what a horrendous mount, how many thousands did you pay for it’.
This is what happens when you put value to digital items that are inherently valueless. At least physical collector items are harder or impossible to replicate. They are and will continue to be much more respected than anything digital.
Wasn’t there another digital collection thing, that has now kind of died off now, in a multi trillion dollar market (hint: it definitely isn’t a multi trillion market anymore)? Wow mounts have about as much value as that.
Go buy the Frostmourne for 1.5k usd, that’s a juicy collector item, and physical too.
Incorrect.
I never use my Swift Spectral Tiger because the model is out-dated.
I don’t use Ashes of Al’ar for the same reason.
I rarely use Invincible or Tyrael’s Charger.
My most used mounts are the store mounts, which anyone can get.
I also love my Warlord’s Deathwheel and Core Hound, both of which were free to everyone.
Rarity is meaningless to many people, myself included.
I bought the thing with garrison farmed gold, but interesting rant.
Having it =/= using it
If you don’t use 90% of the random stuff in your collections tabs, should you just not have it? I don’t understand the logic here.
I mean I’m debating trying my hand at getting it as I think the Slime cat is kind of cute.
When you mount up in WOW… where does the mount come from? Is it in your pants?
Mounts are keistered.
Honestly, if a mount is only special to you because it’s rare, then you don’t actually like the mount, so who cares if others get it.
I personally use plenty of easy to get, common mounts. Simply because I like the way they look.
I like the little goats from Pandaria, and the alpacas from Vol’dun.
