Holiday mounts that are drops in general.
I’ve literally never seen one drop at all in the runs I’m in.
And because I only play one character, I’ve pretty much given up trying at this point

I honestly had completely forgotten about this system, because all of the overlapping years of doing it in LFD wiped it from my memory. Now I’m wondering why the heck my guild at the time didn’t do something similar. I only just got the darn horse last year.

One of the withered is running away! Catch him before he is lost in the tunnels!

Thanks for the Blue response. I never expected this!
Throw it on the vendor for 1000+ tokens, perhaps?

Most people really didn’t care for cosmetics early on. Hell finding natural groups in my guilds for wanting to do CMs or trade were fruitless. It’s just cosmetic bro it doesn’t matter. Flash forward gear matters even less than back then and cosmetics are the only permanent progression.

no a better drop rate is fine
6969 tokens.
But probably too on the nose after the name change.

33 tries a day this year. over 2200 kills per rarity. ETA 16k kills per rarity as well. I don’t mind low drop rates, but some are too low for a 2 week a year event.
Especially early early on, like before the mounts tab existed. I had always wanted it, but didn’t really need it until I had acquired green fire on this character back in MoP as a Human…cause like. Duh. Humans. Horses. They just go together in this game. But I needed mine to match the “aesthetic” so to speak.
THANK GOD!!! FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!!! LETS GO 2023 450 Attempts day 9 2022, D: i still have some days but this task everyday 
There is such an easy fix.
If it’s not fun, just don’t do it.
After all, it is completely cosmetic so it is unnecessary for game play and there are more than 400 other mounts to choose from so it is unnecessary for role play.

Keep the drop chances in place, and add a large price for the mount for tokens. Make tokens BOA so that if you want to grind out multiple alts to get it faster, you can.

Thank you for sharing this.
So basically:
“We hear you, but it’s not important, because we’ve heard this every year and even if we chose to do it this year we’re not respecting your time that your spending now or ever before.”
Gotcha.
This is not an acceptable answer - adjust it and extend the event or flat out admit it’s bad design. Like why even play pretend like this? “We hear you” is a great way avoid doing anything right now.
Maybe just man up and do something about it now or extend the event now rather than pretending that it’s fine to just wait years to change things you clearly recognize are bad.
There are two things you could do right now and extend the event only a little:
- Extend the event and set a token cost on the mount that is achievable in the extension if you already did some stuff.
- Increase the drop and extend the event a bit.
How does this help anyone? How is this even remotely a good idea?

It’s been said for years to make them one attempt per day account bound using same tech as blington and others that do the same.

You did it with the Illidari Doomhawk.

Can this discussion also be extended to the Pandaria/Rukhmar world boss mounts as well? I’m getting a bit tired of killing them on multiple characters a week using bonus roll coins with nothing to show for it for a decade now.

Presumably because drop rate would be adjusted to compensate, and those of us with fleets of 50 chars wouldn’t be at a massive advantage for farming it.
Just one of those design philosophy things but I think a 1 in 2000-3000 mount you can only farm for 2 weeks a year reeks of typo or something, it’s just so much rarer than so many other mounts.
