On the player stats pane of the Achievements used to give total mounts your toon could use, then they removed that.

This topic needs to stop being posted.

The number of players who want this represent less than 1% of Community. The number of players who would be upset about an “impossible” time sink achievement being added are well over 10% of Community. I have played the game since day one and even do not have 600 Unique Mounts Collected, and I have spent thousands of hours grinding to have the ones that I have now. It is not “feasible” and comes down to simple RNG or the players who abuse the system to have the maximum number of kills against a given rare.

In addition, I do not even think the majority of players asking for this have thought ahead far enough to consider what it would mean for them - Sure, you may have an achievement magically appear in your box (in which case what is the point other than you wanting to be able to “FLEX”). For everyone else who wants this as something to push towards:

The Rares that drop mounts would be hunted to extinction. It would mean new players could never find the rare they want (looking at you Horseman in Maw) and would mean experienced players would have to do nothing but sit AFK at mount spawns since realm hop methods would never work. The people asking for this achievement are asking for more people to have to sit afk and not play - and that leads to more players QUITTING.

If you want vanity - Statistics Tab shows how much unique mounts you have. You do not need an achievement that will drive everyone but you insane. And IF this was added, this should become a Feat of Strength as the definition of those is achievements that a normal average player could never obtain - and I challenge any player asking for this to create a new account, and grind out 600-Mounts in 1-Year. You can even take a year off work to do it - You MIGHT be successful if you do nothing but grind for those mounts and use alts.

It’s not possible. It’s not realistic. Stop Asking : = )

Edit: It should be noted I have more mounts than everyone on this thread but three other people, and I could have more than all but one of them. This opinion is coming from a person who would get free achievements. But I can look beyond my own nose and see that it would be damaging to community even more than most current mount grinds have been.

Actually, no it doesn’t. That was removed quite a while back.

Interesting - My apologies, been so long since I checked.

This is kind of hilarious to be honest. Blizzard consciously made the choice to spend time and remove the ability to show vanity on battle-pets and mounts beyond achievement. And yet in so many threads same people asking for more achievements to be consciously added into the game…?

GG for those hoping for 500/550/600 Achievements. We have a sooner chance of the PvP Rated Achievements all being moved to FoS like the Season Specific Ones… And that’ll never happen XD

As someone with 595 unique mounts… no :smiley: I’ll ask for whatever I want.

Shadowlands added over 100 mounts alone. BfA was around 80-something. There should be at the very least a 450 and 500, maybe even a 550 achievement.

If you don’t want to see these requests then don’t click on the threads.

Btw, there are 809 possible mounts. If we subtract the mounts we can’t get anymore and ones you have to spend money on, it breaks down to this:

31 Shop mounts
12 Promotional
7 Recruit-A-Friend
17 Trading Card Game
4 AOTC
5 Challenge Mode
2 Brawler’s Guild
27 Gladiator
14 og epic mounts
8 misc mounts removed from the game (like ZA bear, black proto-drake, etc.)
3 Keystone Master

So a brand new player could start collecting today and without spending a dime or worrying about mounts removed from the game they could get roughly 679 mounts. I might be off by a couple because the website I’m using is slow to update so we’ll say 670 for error.

670 mounts. No money spent, no removed mounts.

Asking for a 600 achievement is not unreasonable.

Definitely!

How many of those 670 Mounts have a less than 1% drop chance and weekly lockout? I would estimate about 200? If so, than poor new player has to do NOTHING but farm same raids and world bosses over and over again for upwards of 2-Years to one achievement?

You may as well add a 5 Million Honor Kill achievement. There are players who have that many, surely makes sense for “new players” it also would take less time than farming 600 new mounts from scratch. Most of my guild members are new and have 80-160 so this achievement would be a slap in their face.

Furthermore, as a collector, I can say confidently that we don’t need achievement to motivate us. We will keep farming away and making our own goals to stay engaged. New players who see stuff like this…? They will quit at a time we NEED new players to revigorate game as more and more veterans are quitting.

Adding this achievement is pointless for us, and harms community for majority. Sure, I would love a cool new unique Mount for my hard work. But you could easily add that for say “Assemble the Drakes” and have that poor new player only have to collect say 20-50 new mounts. Or “Assemble the Aqua Force”.

Arguing for a 600 Point Achievement over a bunch of smaller “collection” ones only proves you want to have things others cannot get, and that makes these selfish and not gonna ever ever happen :wink:

Citation needed.

p.s. ROFL at this:

There are not 200 mounts with less than 1%. The ones I can recall off the top of my head are:

  • Sha
  • Nalak
  • Oon
  • Galleon
  • Ruhk
  • Lich King
  • Soundless
  • Infinite Timereaver

Love Rocket probably won’t be on that list anymore.

They won’t even see the achievement until they earn the one just before it.

Nobody is forced to do anything. If they CHOOSE to work on acquiring the next step in the achievement list, that is their own personal choice.

If we are going with that logic, then anything in the game could be reason to make someone quit. New player at level 1 sees a level 60. Oh noes, too many levels, I must quit right now!! /smh

Note that logic (which I don’t agree with either) is literally why they made the terrible decision to squish all the levels for this expac.

Oh, I know. Shook my head then too.

lol, who are you to tell us what we want.

Wildroot, your entire opinion hinges on people being upset because they don’t have something someone else has. I don’t think that’s rational and something that should be catered to. Are these people quitting because of HoF, CE, Glad, 500 honor level, etc? What is it about mount collection that will ‘drive people insane’?

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions that the playerbase is as petty and jealous about video game achieves as you are :confused:

They should add both types. You made up that we’re asking for one over the other. Quite the clown you are.
