Are you intentionally doing this or are you that oblivious to the concept of making up for one’s mistakes. If you promise someone something and you don’t deliver it. Do you just say, “It was a mistake and you misunderstood. That’s me making it up.”
What is this logic? xD If you have made a mistake, you apologize and give them what was originally said aside from the apology.
Dude I think that you’re just trying to stick a philosophical point based on life into the cogwheels of how a company manages its customer service. Which is so moot here because if you don’t do what you said to someone and then they complain about it. Do you turn around say, “Too bad, life isn’t fair.” This is the not even anything advanced, this is the basic courtesy of treating others like how you want to be treated. On a personal level or a corporate customer-service basis. Do you want to be told that life isn’t fair if someone doesn’t deliver what they told you they would? Like you order food, it shows up the next day and when you complain, they’re like. “Too bad life isn’t fair.” 
So when you say this to me. All I get from this is that you’re either a really, really bitter person irl. Or you’re just trying to argue a point but have no substantive arguments for it. So its just for the sake of it because you don’t wanna accept that you’re wrong here. Its one of the two.
No one cares how much time you play in a game. No one gives a damn. When you ask if you’re a casual player or not, you’re comparing the content that is being cleared. Who gives a crap what someone else is doing with their time? We only compare what the content is being cleared by anyone based on whether they are casual or not.
They’re a casual player because I don’t care what or how much time they’re spending in the god damn game because it is none of my concern. I am only asking to see if their interests are the same as mine or not. Why else would I want to know if someone’s casual or not? If they are casual, then they might be interested in doing what the casual players do which is the easier stuff. If they are not casual, it means that they do one of the three top tier content stuff which would be m+, raiding or pvp. And then I’d ask them which one and decide if I wanted to do that with them.
If you’re doing mythic raiding, you aren’t casual. Regardless of how much time you’re spending currently on it. If you’re doing arenas or rbg’s at the highest level, you aren’t casual. Be realistic, no one gives a damn about how much time you spend playing a game. The only reason to inquire if someone’s casual or not is to compare and find mutual interests.
Also, maybe. Just maybe there are more people like you who seem to be concerned about how much time other people spend playing their games. I don’t care about that. I frankly find it weird to even inquire how much time someone’s playing / spending playing a game. Its really not my business. And what we’re talking about right now is LFR giving the mount. How would you describe LFR as? Casual content. That is what the topic is about. CASUAL content rewarding a mount. We’re not talking about time spent here playing in a game my dude. We’re talking about casual content rewarding a mount. That’s where casual fits in. That’s why we’re talking and calling solo players as being casual because they’re clearing casual content. Their time spent playing this game has no bearing to the content because it is not relative to how you would describe LFR as. They could spend a few hours clearing LFR (CASUAL) content. Or a few days. Its the content that is the topic of discussion, not your time spent clearing it. 
The topic of discussion is the mount. Mounts have no impact on actual combat unless I’m unaware of something and you can ride the slime cat to fight stuff getting extra buffs or somehting.
Its a cosmetic item my dude. How is it destroying the game? Your precious mythic+ or heroic raid gear isn’t going to be any less impactful in actual combat just because they have an additional mount option in their mount slots.
You gotta learn to make others happy. You’re literally nitpicking here over this and it has no actual argument at all. Tell me, you think that a community which strives for everyone to get what they want will fare better or a community that has some people dragging the legs of others to prevent them from getting what they really want unless they clear the same level of content as the rest? Even if you get these people in the raids, normal or heroic. Whatever, are they going to be happy? Are they going to contribute to a raiding atmosphere where people are there just for the challenge? No, they only want to do it because its like a job to them. You’re basically going to make these raids more toxic. And that’s why its such a stupid idea in addition to the fact that it was listed as any in the first place.
