A GIFT FOR YOU!

This quest can be completed by any character, and the mount is account-wide, meaning you will have it on every character of the account from MoP expansion onward!

Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) To be honest, that mount is pain to get and only acquirable on MoP and WoD realms. I have tried farming the mount for three months in a row on WoD, then I caved in and camped it on the black market. I have waited around four months before it popped on black market, and I had to pay 4.3m to win, and now it is available for everyone. The mount is supposed to be rare and special :\. Do I at least get some different mount? Edited December 25, 2019 by Sam 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2019 It's Christmas, man. Can you ditch the wah-wah attitude for a couple of days and be happy that people on Legion can get a mount that's unobtainable? Jeesh Happy Holidays! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I guess you would feel the same, if you have spent more than four million gold to find that they are giving the rare mount to everyone for free. Also, with everyone celebrating this gift, you get nothing. That is fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah man, it was a very special mount to me since WoD and the only one I rode since then...farmed this in a raid group (you have to be in a raid to enter) and got it on my birthday, so it was extra special now it's no longer special....sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said they got different priorities. Now, after paying more than 4 million gold on legion to buy the mount on the black market, it is available for free. I cannot replenish the gold I spend on legion, because the realm is not highly populated anymore. Now, whenever I see that mount, I will remember the gold I have wasted. I love FS a lot, but I have to say, this is the first time I have been very disappointed in here. You should have at least given the people who had the mount something else. This would have been fair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 28, 2019 1. This is not about fair, this is a PRIVATE WOW Server you can play on for free. 2. That being said, the experience itself is not about who gets what, what is working or not, or how much you earn and/or spend. The experience is about what you make of it. YOU wanted that mount, YOU farmed a lot for it, and YOU (in corliss' case) have the story to tell about how stars aligned and made you get it or YOU (in Sam's case) farmed and waited and spent a lot to get what YOU wanted. Nobody takes anything of your journey away by others getting something (in this case a mount) easier, quite the opposite actually: everyone else loses a time-sink to spend time and efforts on, instead. This may be a hard pill to swallow, but it takes ONE person (the one owning the server) to say "eff everyone, I'm done" and everything here can be gone within a few mouseclicks. We (as a community) own NOTHING and can be thankful the project as is did run and keeps running and we can share our time here going on our own, little (or huge) journeys. Also, everyday people complain in worldchat about this being bad, that being bad. WE are a community on a free-to-play server. The reasons we are here may be hugely different, some want to "waste" less time, some can't afford the "real" thing, others want to spend time with "friends". All these things in quotes can change without a moment's notice, what CAN NOT change though, is the fact US as a community are what defines our experience. WE set our goals, US are the ones progressing or failing as that random team in a battleground and YOU AND I are the ones deciding whether we spent a nice day together or wasted a day without that feeling of belonging somewhere in some sense and achieving something. On that note, after having read this wall of text: thank you. Thank you for being part of MY experience. All the random strangers here are part of MY experience, and I still dig it after lots of years. Yours truly, Tickle o/ 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
