Jade Dire Horn is the only one I really really really want. I camped and killed enough Jade Dire Horns in the past decade that I got like 9 toons to max rep with all the MoP factions just from the tokens they drop. I have every other color except Jade. It’s personal now.

I’m popping off, no more weeks of being heartbroken and crying myself to sleep not getting that monochrome noodle.
but the mounts are going to be available in players’ collections in retail, though.
You still have to farm the currency. Then pick and choose to spend it on gear, upgrades, tmog, other mounts.
It’s essentially a vaster version of the trading post.
And if we are being completely honest, it’s mop content. Who cares? 99.9% of the population, this is a +1 mount.
Heck throw invincible on one of the vendors please blizzard. I’m tired of farming that for 14 years.

exactly - it is basically the trading post. rare mount drops were never available on a vendor like the trader post before.
think of it this way - the new nax tier 3 crafting system: blizzard made the vendor mats for the tier pieces to cost ALOT of gold - the reason being that they did not want to disrespect the time and gold spent by players obtaining it on the BMAH.
so if they are going to make sure that the new nax 3 tier crafting system respects the time and gold of older players - why are they suddenly disrespecting the time of players who spent thousands of attempts at these world boss mounts.
this player has 8000 attempts on sha alone
Why does it bother you so much? They gave my Tyrael’s Charger I paid blizzard for 12 months in Cataclysm for to everyone. They buffed the Love Rocket mount I got in 1 loot box for everyone else.
It doesn’t bother me.
I don’t have the Sha Mount but I’ve never tried to get it either. I have the Heavenly Exalted Rep with Timeless Isle mount and the Spectral one that drops from the raid. I never needed any others.

placing these mounts of a vendor is disrespectful to the time that players have invested over the course of ten years to obtain these world boss mounts.

We’re getting a better reward design, there’s still massive time sinks with bad RNG to be fixed, Devs mentioned respecting players time and this is the result 
As per previous replies, I notice that OP thinks that a grind like this is FREE stuff, when you’re working towards a goal instead of doing 50 alts per week in a boss that respawns every 15mins has an inmunity shield for 1second because otherwise any player will one shot it, impacting other players attempts. It’s a really awful experience that I did 8k attempts, not exactly 8k kills because you can use the bonus loot for extra %, It´s basically an addiction to gamble.
And this players approves any change done to these drops because this will lead to better implementations for future rewards and we’re already receiving that in DF.
I only get mad this wasn’t implemented sooner…Blizzard likes to do bad reward design and I constantly push for changes even when I already got the reward.

Huolon is not a world boss - the Huolon Mount was not a rare chance drop mount, it was quite easy to obtain.
Well, now we know for a fact that you are trolling. Thanks for the confirmation.

i know and did not say anything about the evokers bug with these world bosses that was 100% drop rate on the mounts for them
If you said that about the Mythic Garrosh Ahead of the Curve mount, you’d be right. The Sha mount? Its just a recolor with sparkles of many mounts which resemble that model. Blizzard was dumb to make the drop rate absurdly low in the first place. Didn’t they admit years later it was a bug?
ok the huolon mount was a 0.9% drop rate and there was absolutely no lockout on huolon… you could farm huolon multiple times per day.
huolon’s mount was not rare - it was always easily obtainable.
i got it in like under two weeks.
Take the Sha in MoP and his lovely serpent mount.
Back in MoP he could spawn at one of about 4 spots, you had to be in a large group to defeat him and the chances of it dropping were very low. If you didn’t get it, it was wait a week to try again.
Time passes, he becomes possible to do solo but you still had to run around trying to get to the right spawn spot before someone else killed him. Again, only once a week on each character.
More time passed, they trimmed it down to just one spot, so at least you could park some alts and do it each week. Drop rate was still awful.
And yet more time passed, Blizz announced they improved the drop chance. Many would say that they must have erred on the side of miniscule improvement.
For many people, they are over the investment of time they could never get back for no reward - in some cases, years. Making that mount available for an ingame activity that generates currency to purchase it, is the least Blizzard can do imo.

im not sure what you mean here: the mythic garrosh mount was the korkron juggernaut
the AOTC mount is the wolf…
That’s the thing RARITY its a matter of perspective…I don’t consider something rare via RNG to be great, I’d consider more rare if its behind a massive GOAL, like the new Dog mount from a mega meta achievement, the book from all the mage towers.
RNG is just a matter of some values, Ratio of attempt, Drop % and usually doesn’t provide a FUN experience.
Words from a Reward Dev…he failed me with his fix to love rocket but he said the right things back in 2022.
You’re saying Huolon isn’t rare only because its ratio of attempts is bigger but its your opinion, some players grind that thing for years…and its an awful respawn.
Can we buy the Tusks of Mannoroth? I’m still farming that one, so since they are handing everything out like candy, then they might as well throw in the tusks.
Yeah, they are adding the AOTC Wolf into the vendor too? I think those people have a more valid reason to not be happy. Unless I’m wrong. I haven’t looked into the vendor info.
That mount won’t be put on the vendor, no. Or anywhere. Same with the CM sets and mounts.
