bigtrunx: wow look at all those outlaw bug abusers... they should nerf fury again
ThePingouin2ter: Somehow, all of that is the fault of fury warriors.
mlb1472: As someone whose played the game for 20 years, this celebration has really highlighted just how much blizzard just does not care for its fans, customers, or anyone really. With this "anniversary event" we really just reused world bosses from different pre-expansion events, gave us vendors with basically nothing on them( ONE toy, ONE pet, ONE mount a bunch of terrible classic low res classic reskins etc...) and then opening the shop I see that blizzard is selling an "anniversary" brutosaur for the cost of the epic edition of the current expansion, and FOUR MORE "anniversary" mounts for 30 dollars, totaling 5 mounts, a unique ability to access the auction house and mail from ANYWHERE all for the low low price of $120, or two AAA games, absolute insanity. These mounts should have been given to players or should have had a way to earn them in game to , oh I don't know, maybe actually celebrate the fact that WoW and blizzard fans helped them get bought for BILLIONS from microsoft, but no, instead i get told to grind weeklies for 3 weeks for 1 cosmetic set, play 3 mini games that get boring very quick, do a terribly scaled and tuned raid for its rewards, and get one of the MIDDEST and BUGGIEST patches in wow, truly a certified blizzard moment.
brandonboss6868: Thank you for supporting us for 20 years, here's a mount to show our gratitude. Just a small price of 90 dollars :)
Moonwired: Pretty much what you said, a cosmetic store is a perfectly acceptable way to raise revenue in a game that DOESN’T have a subscription model.
Cobatsart: Blood dk was second from the bottom DPS tank on both single target and AoE.

Then it got nerfed. Twice.
They have no idea what they're doing up there at blizzard.
OfficialKetsu: No offence but saying "this is kinda icky" while simultaneously riding the mount perfectly demonstrates how we got to this point in the first place
ESPirits87: 90 Dollars for a mount is prime example that they don't care about the Anniversary, why not gift it to players?, they only do the Anniversary because it's something they have to do, otherwise they would've skipped it.
ztormur6504: personally im very happy to finally be able to get the AH mount. i missed my chance during BFA and have been beating myself for it ever since.
jsjsjsjs: Dratnos is such high value. He creates awesome detailed content for people that still play, and equally amazing content that reminds people that quit years ago why they would be fools to return. All while radiating positivity and sporting a dashing smile. Thanks Dratnos!
jasonstaubach6846: The slippery slope argument has been made to death, but my #1 concern with this is its another step blizz has made getting closer to just monetizing rewards in WoW and it just kills my enjoyment, even if I can logically say just ignore it feels so bad
Worst_Casts: I don't have too much of a problem with the mount, its cheaper then the original mount from a gold standpoint and as a player who only does high m pugs and Some early mythic raid pugging, it would just be a QOL thing for me which I'm not too concerned about to buy this. But having a consistent way to actually buy the AH mount is prob a good thing especially since its marketed towards AH warlords that prob already have the gold for it. The tuning is gonna come down to what they do on the reset, I don't care too much about things coming out first week OP but if they stay OP for an extended period its a problem. This to me just feels like its a consequence of the layoffs catching up to the WoW team with the new faster patch cadence because they have less people working on more content.
RedRiverCAE: im a wow noob, but isnt there a ptr to prevent EXACTLY those types of issues?
BigBeanBilly: My biggest gripe about the mount is that it is a direct store mount. The previous brutosaur was a rich player tax which took gold out of the game and reduced inflation, it helped the economy while also fattening Blizzard's wallet. This however only fattens Blizzard's wallet substantially more to no benefit of the economy or the game as a whole.
arandommiracle1870: so they released a 12 month sub mount pack, a random 30 year mount pack, and a 90 dollar mount pack for the ah and mail box? all in the same week is something....
manuakasam: My issue with the mount is as follows:
1) it's not part of a 12 months bundle.
Meaning, gamers are not rewarded for their support to the game, no, this is just a cash grab.
2) The cost of 90€
Sure the mount is a powerful one, but the price-tag, once again, is nothing but a cash grab.
3) The mount is only available until Jan. 6th
So on top of of the insane price tag and no other extra incentives, the mount is only available for a limited amount of time, creating fear-of-missing-out aka FOMO which triggers some people to spend money that they might not actually have available.

In total, this is once gain another bullshit move by a bullshit company that delivers bullshit quality all day long. I wonder when will we feel Metzens impact, because so far, this addon has pretty much only disappointed me.
seluhir8820: I am okay with cosmetics for money, but not unique functionality.

Generally I've found that Blizzard punishes for bugs where there's little chance of false positive. Basically: If there's a reasonable chance an uninformed player COULD do it by accident, they can't punish for it because then they punish players who were just innocently playing the game. This thing... there's very little chance of falling into it in real content... so it justifies punishment.
Impuracle: I can feel the wheels falling off the blizzard express.
ryanpower1291: Joked about them selling a ah mount when they showed the bear with a repair function. Guess it wasn't a joke
