Trading post December - Utter Disappointment

Does anyone else feel very disappointed to see what is coming in the trading post this December?

x1 repeat mount from ‘Love is in the air holiday’ / Store purchase.
x1 recolor of a store purchase onesie.
x1 repeat recolor of fairy wings…
x1 repeat recolor love hunter bow…

Like seriously?

This is the 2nd year in a row where Christmas has been completely overlooked by the blizzard team. Where is our reindeer or sleigh mount? Where is our back Christmas wreaths? Christmas themed cooking fire toys.

Imagine a sleigh with reindeer’s mount like what Great father winter rides with dynamic flying!! HOW AMAZING WOULD THAT BE?! I would never fly a different mount ever again!

Christmas is in-fact the ‘MOST’ popular and celebrated holiday of the year around the world!! Why are we getting repeats of other seasonal trash? Are the employees at Blizzard just pure-line Grinches or is it just me?? Do they just hate Christmas??
Is this what its gonna be like every year??

I was really excited to see what they bring this year considering last years was rubbish…
thus, again same result…

Just saying, asking “Am I the only one” is typically only said in bad faith. No of course you aren’t the only one, but the question isn’t whether you are alone in thinking this but rather if you are reasonable in what you are thinking.

So what’s the actual complaint? That we don’t get enough Christmas themed stuff? The Trading post is designed so it’ll have repeats and new stuff, and the new stuff it has is a new recolour of a store mount, new and unique transmogs, and present themed weaponry. With the reward being easily one of the most well-liked store items now as a purple recoloured Murloc onesie.

So… it has unique stuff, winter themed stuff, and a recolour of one of the most well-liked store items to date. That doesn’t sound bad at all.

Pretty sure that the most celebrated holiday of the year is New Year. Since that happens in every culture across the entire world. Sometimes on different dates sure, but in terms of “holidays”, that’d probably be the one.

If you are talking about which holiday is the most commercialised, that’s Christmas without a shadow of a doubt. But somehow I don’t think that’s quite what you were going for.

In terms of raw popularity as a holiday though, I’d hedge my bets and say probably Halloween. Especially in WoW since that event has far more interesting stuff than Feast of Winter Veil does. Mostly due to the thematic limitations of the latter, and the strong thematic stuff that’s available to the former.


Beyond that though, it is pretty weird to ask if folks hate Christmas or stuff like that. Or if someone’s being a grinch or not.

Why is it so hard to have a reindeer mount? Like seriously lol

Because it would make preserved holly useless…and they would have to come up with another gimmick for the holiday.

The nice thing about the trading post is if one month sucks, you just get to bank the currency for a month that actually has cool stuff.

Last year had those cool candy cane swords.

So far the only thing I have seen this year is a gift-wrapped 2 handed mace.

Honestly I’m grateful for the savings month. Still have to decide which set between Battered Gladiator and Dalaran Scholar to freeze before this month is up.

Dude, I’m so happy it’s a bunch of repeats. This summer had a bunch of stuff I wanted so I was getting low on tender.

I’ve been able to save, FINALLY, in Nov and now Dec.

That’s fine. I need a cheap month. My coffers are depleted.

I’m glad when there are months like this, it lets me save up a bit and get ahead :slightly_smiling_face:

The trade post should sell the Mt. Dew motorcycle in all regions where the promotion is unavailable.

I’m taking this, literally:

Mind your Tender
We’ll be celebrating the second anniversary of the Trading Post in February with an extension to the Reward Bar

I went a little crazy this month buying all the hoods and shoulders, took myself down to 13625 Tenders!

The Holiday weapons do not interest me at all.
The wings - meh
The Ear Muffs, yep, I’ll get those.
The mount I’m debating on, I have Fur-endship mount still frozen.

I’ll hold off on any personal judgement until I see what else is being offered up this month.

Tenders saved is Tenders earned :tipping_hand_man:t5:

The most commercialized, you mean. Spending lots of money during Christmas is probably the most time-honored tradition the holiday has in the modern era.

Eh, Brewfest and Hallow’s End both have ‘mounts’ from items yet still we have permanent real mounts as well. They could definitely do the same for Winter Veil.

How do we know what’s coming in December?
It’s still November.

Because they announced it on the main page.

I hate the onsies…
