You have 483 unique mounts.
I would hardly call you a collector and you seem to have overstated your efforts.
Many collectors are pushing 700, even I can appreciate it’s well overdue.

im at 514 nothing special and no new mount achievements…also the reskin rewards really such a joke. But you have to farm more get engineer mounts dungeon and raid runs thats how i managed to get that many.

I achieved 700 unique mounts (according to Blizzard’s interpretation) last week. The entire idea that they shouldn’t add any more achievements because people who don’t have that many might be upset is ridiculous and false. It isn’t a difficult task to add these, they make new mounts all the time, reusing an asset and adding an achievement would take every little time.
Players can’t even see the top end of the achievements until they’ve gained the one below it (You can’t see the 400 achievement unless you also had the 350). It’s not like its going to be in their faces mocking them that they can’t get to 600 or whatever new amount is added, the game gives them an obtainable goal and once reached adds a slightly higher one.
If this is enough to make people upset well then I want the Level 500 honor achievement removed because absolutely even less then “1%” of the playerbase will get that after they gutted the easiest way to get honor from Legion. Not to mention the plethora of other difficult achievements in the game that apparently nobody else has issue with existing even if they can’t get it.
The achievement is long overdue, there’s people who have been playing for a long time but are pretty casual about mounts approaching or exceeding 400, its time to raise the bar by a lot.

Completely agree and great point on the game only showing you your next achievement.
I’m not sure if they regularly check this small forum. One other idea is to tweet/DM @Muffinus on twitter - might be more effective?

More mount achievements please.
I’ve had almost no drive to collect mounts these past few xpacs. Give me a goal, Blizzard.

Heard an idea to make these achieves Feats of Strength if “too big of an achieve for newer players” is a concern.

There’s no need for that. Like I pointed out a month ago, a brand new player can hit almost 700 mounts without buying any from the store or worrying about mounts that have been removed.
The number of mounts they have added since WoD is insane. Over 130 in SL alone.

This topic needs to be brought up in the community council section so blizzard hears us. Also, no more recolors unless it’s something really cool like the Brutosaur mount.

Hopefully more to come…

I can’t believe they’re giving pet collectors four new achievements and only one for us. So disappointed. It should go to 600.

Nice to see an achieve, but hopefully they reconsider on the higher achievements.
Blizz has announced that the reward mount will be changed to a different mount than the Yeti they had originally shown.
cool, I can’t wait for some uninspired garbage. Looking forward to the next unique store mount though. Keep up the good work devs, your a credit to your industry.

No more recolors till after I get my chunky boy Cheshire Cat!
I have heard one of their rationales is that they don’t want newer players to see a really cool reward with a huge time sink to get it. I think this reasoning is flawed for at least four reasons.
- having a very desirable ‘high end’ reward that players can strive for is exactly what made this game so engaging. Legendaries in vanilla, ashes of al’ar in bc, invincible in wrath, mythic level xmog/mounts/titles in current day game, Glad mounts, just to name a few.
- Cutting Edge / HoF/ Gladiator all exist. These not only take a huge time sink but extreme dedication in and out of the game to gain the skills/knowledge/network needed to complete them. Glad mounts also go away and are unique/desirable.
- Although I don’t have the figures to back this up, a 500+ mount collector is likely to be way more valuable from a business perspective than a new player. I have personally spent thousands of dollars over the years between accts and tokens. I’d be surprised if most new players in 2022 even make it to 1 yr worth of sub time paid.
- There are so many rewards, and specifically mounts, already. Is a cool looking 600 mount collection achieve really going to cause that much stress for new players? I wonder if they have any data to back up their claim that new players would see a 600 mount reward and quit because of it. Seems like a really weak excuse.
I’ve said this in the past, but it appears the current dev team is tunnel visioned on this and many other topics. I have 0 hope anything will change until there are new people in decision making roles on the WoW team.4
