Why is the gladiator mount a reskin/color of Undercity Plaguebat

This is supposed to be the pinnacle of arena achievement, yet we’re getting a reskin of a mount everyone has… Dragonriding glad mounts were unique in their own way, same for many other glad mounts even if they were recolors/skins.
Not seeing how this is going to drive interest into pvp in the slightest…

Underground expansion so bats or something.

They’re pretty underwhelming after the highland and slitherdrakes.

The glad mount isn’t the primary driver for interest in pvp.

Agreed, it’s bad. Really hoping for s2/3 to be a crypt king mount.

buddy they have thos there from raid

Two bats makes me wonder if it’ll be a 2 season expansion or if they switch it up half way through like they did with dragonflight and have a completely new one later, ye.

That’s what I’m hoping for!

When you have your hopes up that the alternative will be something worthwhile, then bam! 2x flying turtles or somecrap.

The entire 3 expansion saga will be recolorings of knuckle dragging bats

You take that back! Take that back right now!

i like the bat cool

Probably a fair point. Spending a lot of man hours on content 95% of the 7% of people who play the game won’t even try for would seem financially wasteful from a business perspective.

What’s the reward for winning AWC now? A pizza party?

Pve mount plus armor isn’t really a reskin

the two bats are actually the recolor for horde and alliance after a quick check. they were showing up as two different mounts on beta till pre patch where it is now one and changes color based on faction. It’s like the vicious mounts where the faction determines the color.(no shuffle glad mount for the people thinking about that) (i am wrong for now hopefully that changes soon)
