Adding a skip will increase the amount of people trying to obtain the mount. Adding a skip will also increase the amount of people clearing it on alts. Which in turn increases the amount of said mount in game. The reality is that if you cannot stomach a grind or farm such as ICC 25H then you do not deserve the mount. There needs to be an amount of effort put in. If blizzard just hands stuff to you (which yes I would consider adding a skip to LK in ICC handing me the mount) then ya why not. This would also be unfair anyone who has put in or still doing the work to get this mount for years now. So no its not about enjoying the grind its about enjoying how it feels to get what you have been working so long and hard for. Making it easier and more accessible takes that away. In fact the problem that rewards don't feel good is pretty much what is currently wrong with the current game, and all you're doing is asking them to put more of that in....
At this point, it is only time that changes. I'd love to not have to grind my way to the end boss in Ulduar/Siege/HFC every week on multiple toons that I have all the transmog gear for. It's no longer rewarding. It's just another blizzard time sink. I got Invincible when it was relevant. It's no longer a rare mount. Give people a skip to the end. The only time there shouldn't be a skip to the end would be current content. Those mounts are still unique enough that only the best players should have them for a time, until they become a <1% drop rate item as well.
I too am a person with a job, family, and life outside of the game.....I like how the assumption is that since i don't want things to be handed to me I must play all day every day and be the most elitist person. Its not about any of that crap... Its about the EFFORT. We do not play an mmo to get free stuff. We do not play an mmo to work for nothing. You have little time to play which is EVERYONE that isn't a high end mythic raider or a twitch streamer. Not having time doesn't make you special it makes you just like the rest of us. None of us have time to farm everything we want in the game this is the point... If you do not want the mount don't do the farm, simple as that. Don't ask them to put in skips cause you're too lazy to do the farm... Cause if you wanted the mount you would go farm it anyways. One thing in life I'm sure everyone learns at some point is, if you want something you got to put in the work to get it. WoW is the same thing, you want something? Put in the work. The vast majority of players have less time to play the game, but that doesn't mean rewards shouldn't feel good in the game. I have been farming Al'ar off KT Solo since TotGC in WotLK.. yeah... that is many many years there...... That ish dropped 3 weeks ago. DO YOU KNOW HOW HYPED UP THAT IS! This feeling of work to reward has been missing from the game for years because of additions and things like these. Can blizzard just give me free mtyhic azerite at 8.2 launch I don't have the time to grind it out, clear the content or play the patch but I want the gear and raid mount. Please blizz just maybe make a skip for us to get there cause I don't want to grind out the gear or learn the boss fights. I just want the pretty stuff.
Its not effort if you have to kill something 500 times to have it drop a mount.That is a wasted life.
Focus folks ... this article is not about icc. Not sure why folks are getting annoyed. Where would you draw the line. You farm mounts. I farm achievements. So they should give you a skip to make farming a mount easier? But they then should by all accounts remove all the bosses in the pet dungeons so the final pet is easier to farm. I mean that’s fair isn’t it. and then make all the opportunities to get achievements so much easier. I shouldn’t have to camp this mob. I should press a button and it should spawn.... but really is this what you want, to have everything you want in the game easily obtain because you think you deserve it and no reason to log in? I’m saddened by reading this. I suggest anyone whose complaining does not play vanilla !The truth isn’t being hidden from anyone. If you don’t like it. Don’t do it. No one is forcing you to spend your time farming. That’s your choice. If you feel it’s too time consuming then stop doing it. Blizzard isn’t doing this to you. You’re doing it to yourself. Darn even I went off topic.
