Laughable that you think permanently adding in mount skins that existed for a large period of time during classic will in any way impact the game in a negative way. Name one negative aspect of having these mounts added permanently and please for the love of god don’t say it’s a change to 1.12 authenticity… RCR… layering…

Just a speculation here, They removed intentionally because a decision was made to later on revamp the mount system. 1000g training vs 1000g mount. This created scarcity on these mounts, intentionally. Once exclusive, they were able to add in a gotta catch them all mentality with new mounts and achievements. Once this mentality and game shift in the meta gained steam BOOM look guys “Swift spectral tiger.” I understand this mount was to promote their trading card game, but it was the first implementation of a mount that led to cash shop blizzard.
This is classic, no achievements, and an entirely separate game. Classic is not vanilla with these mounts not being in the game. If they stated they don’t want to introduce exclusive mounts to classic, because we feel that once players earn the mount they never could have, they’d stop playing. I can TOTALLY understand that reason, even though I would disagree.

What makes you think I support RCR or layering? That isn’t the only reason I am against it, but it is part of it. We’ve been over dozens of reasons and you don’t agree with them. That does not make you right.
I don’t feel there is a good way to add them in that won’t alienate a good portion of people. I also, even if you don’t agree with it, wholeheartedly believe that they never meant these to be reflective of the class epic mounts.
They are doing other things that are what they feel are the “best iteration” of something. Maybe some of them are right and maybe some of them are wrong but I agree with this one.
I never said that you supported those things, I was pointing to the fact that classic will already be an inauthentic representation of patch 1.12 ( since you know we are getting patch 1.12 not vanilla).
No we haven’t been over dozens of reasons… that is made up and an exaggeration.
In what way is adding them in permanently alienating anyone?
What does this mean?

FYI to everyone in here still going about 1.12. It’s not 1.12. It’s 1.13. It’s even in the game once you launch it says 1.13 in the left corner. This is not “authentic” representation of Vanilla to begin with. They have a lot of stuff that was not present in Vanilla.
They are using 1.12 as clearance and “base” not as what the game will be set in stone.

Is a dev not Blizzard? Dos a dev not work for Blizzard? Did he not use the term “we” indicating that he was speaking for Blizzard?
As I said, it seems that what you REALLY meant is that that you will continue to complain and pester until Blizzard caves and gives you that shiny you so desperately crave.

That’s great if you see it that way. I’m looking for an official announcement from blizzard. Until then I will continue to request them here where blizzard has stated they would like requests to be made. If you could stop harassing me for using the forums for their intended purpose that would be great.

Are you saying that if a Blue were to make a post stating that those mounts would not be included in Classic, that you would cease complaining?
Or would you find would find some reason to claim that was not an “official Blizzard statement”? Would you find some reason to continue to complain since that is not the answer you want?

If blizzard came onto the forums or made an official statement that they were not including the mounts whilst providing a legitimate reason that holds up to scrutiny than sure, I’ll stop asking. We do not accept the answer HE gave and it absolutely does not hold up to scrutiny, not at all, it doesn’t even make sense.
Until then yes I will be here until launch and even post launch if I feel like it.

HE was speaking for Blizzard.
Thank you for confirming that even a post by a Blue will not satisfy you and that you will continue to complain if that post does not say what you want to hear, though.

You sure care a lot about this for someone who apparently doesn’t care either way. Tell us Fesz, why are you so invested in this issue?
I can ask for as long as my heart desires and NOTHING that YOU say or do will convince me otherwise… if it upsets you so much than I suggest you ignore this thread.
A wowhead interview with a singular developer giving a half a** reason is hardly what I would consider a legitimate statement, or a blue post.
Furthermore we’ve gotten different answers from different devs in regard to things like layering already. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least bit if blizzard double backed on something they’ve said. Especially considering it was one person and hardly indicative of a blanket statement supported by the entire development team.

So odd that someone with absolutely no investment in this would spend hours and hours of their life over the course of 2 months arguing with people purely based on semantics, I truly feel sorry for you.

This little gnome dude is unhinged. At this point I kind of hope they give him the unarmored mounts just so he doesn’t have a heart attack.

If me being labeled as unhinged is what it takes to give all of the people who want an opportunity to acquire these a chance to do so than sure I’ll fall on the sword, this is the hill I’ll die on. We’ve been waiting years for this… me dedicating a couple months to make the game better is nothing.

That is you speculating, drawing a conclusion and spreading it as gospel.
That is flawed misinformation you are spreading.
AGAIN, the reason they are not including the unarmored mounts is to prevent rush mentality.
