After watching Classicast with Esfand, StaySafe, TipsOut and Some classic devs they confirmed Unarmored Mounts will not be in classic.
One of their explanations for the reasoning of not having these mounts in WoW Classic is because they do not want “Mount Collectors” to be pressured to race to level 60 to acquire these mounts. They even brought up a story to affirm this when a certain office worker did not want to feel this pressure and wanted to take their time.
I found this to be particularly disturbing because it gives me the notion that Blizzard wants to cater to a playerbase that is unwilling to work to achieve the things they want in a MMORPG.
There are methods and strategies one could use to get these mounts in a reasonable time and by Blizzard removing these options it shows they only care about their casual audience or people that want everything for nothing.

I don’t think you could have possibly leaped to a further conclusion than you just did lol.

Take a friggin breath, take off the tin foil hat, and stop jumping to ridiculous conclusions.
It’s just a F********ing horse. Never once have I stopped to admire whether somebody’s horse had armor or not. Never beyond a “oh, that’s cool” anyway.
This has been discussed ad nauseam for several months now. Enough.
if you want to play like that? Classic WoW was indeed a game targeted to casual players. So not forcing people to rush through for a stupid outdated mount is perfectly reasonable

Insightful comment, glad to have read it.
But honestly you shouldn’t have a say in anything, your comment “iTs JuSt HoRsE” is literally retarded.

We should remove all mounts and force everyone to use Dwarven Rams. They are just mounts u know…
Blizzard… I guess we will have to just deal with the normal looking mounts not being in the game. In part I’m thankful to you because this decision basically solidified my choosing the horde as my faction for classic. I truly feel sorry for everyone that has to use the horses with spandex body armor with glowing eyes.

I’m mostly sad about the mounts because the two troll raptors look nice and it’s a shame the skins not available.
Lookit these beautys.

The unnarmored mounts did look really nice, but again I just feel like people are blowing things out of proportion. A lack of cosmetics in no way ruins the game or caters to the ‘Le Casual’ audience like OP is implying. Again, they look nice and all and it’s a shame we can’t get them BUT, it’s just horses.
I started playing in late Vanilla probably summer 2006. Can someone clarify what these unarmored mounts are? I have no recollection of them.
They were the original level 60 mounts that offered 100% speed boosts. They got replaced in a later patch with armored version and were removed, but players who had them already were allowed to keep them.

Yeah i don’t know much about them either. If they were in Classic why would someone feel rushed to get to 60 and get it over say any other mount in Classic? Would it somehow disappear at some point?
