Other people, potentially. Personal time constraints, desire to apply myself in the game, poor RNG with gear acquisition, lacking personal skill, absent desire to raid above LFR.
None of which changes the fact that by limiting the number of difficulties wherefrom you can obtain the mount, blizzard has limited access to the mount.
ah, so nothing. look im generally the person whose group you wouldn’t want to join from a casual perspective. and i can promise you, i would invite whoever to get the mount if i wanted to just fill out a raid team
what if the true gatekeeping is in our hearts, thinking we can’t complete the content or get invited when really, you can
Really likes to live in his own world where he can do no wrong huh?
And that doesn’t matter, because the point you contest is that blizzard limited access to the mount.
If blizzard removed a difficulty from the list of potential difficulties one can earn the mount from, they have limited access to it.
This is like saying group content isn’t group content, or LFR isn’t a raid.
but like everyone can get the mount
And that has nothing to do with whether or not access to it is limited.
It’s an entirely separate discussion.
i dunno man. maybe it’s just mindset i have but if i wanted the mount i would get the mount. and for some reason i have a feeling that’s what people are going to do.
That much is apparent.
aye all im saying is i’ll be riding on my slime cat and so could everyone else if they put in minimal effort to get it! just like getting the nightmare mount! or even time lost!
You’re also saying that blizzard didn’t limit access to it by removing a difficulty from the pool of instances wherefrom to acquire it. Holding up three fingers and telling me you’re holding up five instead, lol.
But hey, abject ignorance to objective reality seems to be a theme in this thread, so pop off.
Calling it that is being very, very generous.
im done arguing this, if u want the mount get the mount. if u don’t want it don’t get it. doesn’t affect me. that 100% movement speed is gonna feel great under my orc buns.
y’know what upsets me about the slime cat? that it isn’t the mount you get from the necrolords. you get the slime-kitten from them, but nooo, the big one has to be from fated raids… it’s just… it’s so dumb…
it should’ve been like, the reward from getting max-rep with all four covenants, or from completing the necrolord campaign, or a rare-drop from one of the madraxxus-y dungeons, not from fated raids that have nothing to do with maldraxxus!!
blah blah big words. do the content if you want the mount. if not then don’t do the content and don’t get the mount. it’s pretty black and white.
I do believe that the intention was to acquire this mount via normal as there are rewards for heroic and mythic mode, so it makes sense however why add affixes into LFR and not give them anything? I mean yeah, I get it that LFR is easier, and you get the determination buff if you wipe but it’s still taking effort and time.
Maybe the reward from LFR was just the higher item level but I mean at least a recolour of the mount or a special pet?
The back lash from the community is because of Blizzard’s communication and how they have handled this.
To those who really want the mount, I only play 10 hours per week, and I manage to clear normal mode. People need to try to go out of their comfort zone even just a couple of bosses a time, that is if you really want to get the mount as I highly doubt they are going to reverse this decision.
My guess is they’re going to stick to their guns until there’s like a month left then make the Slime Cat unlockable on LFR.
u know what someone who has 5-10 hours a week to play and someone who plays 40 hours a week has in common? the mount. if they put in effort they’ll both have the mount
That still doesn’t mean Blizz is gatekeeping them.
Everyone has the same access to the game. You using personal issues to try and claim Blizz is gatekeeping is an absolute joke.
Honestly I hope that Blizz keeps the mount restricted to normal or higher. If I recall correctly LFR was intended as a way to allow casual players to experience the story behind the raids. I at one point was a casual that used lfr for that, but returning to the game in late BFA decided to give real raiding a try, starting in shadowlands. I have now gotten CE in all 3 raids.
I don’t expect every LFR casual to jump up to CE raider quality, but do think a move up to normal is not an insurmountable challenge.
I’m not pretending. While I don’t enjoy LFR Or consider it raiding I don’t have an issue with it. I don’t think it should be removed for the reasons it exists.
Give me an example.
