Well, I got this quest for the Winter Spring Riding Tiger or mount and I figured it must be a good deal! Well you have to hang out in Winter Spring for almost 20 days because you need 20 whiskers and you only get one a day, For each event in the quest to get a toy for your baby tiger or food and you can only do one in a 24 hour period! I figured well it will be a unique mount and worth the trouble and time from doing other things because for my other quests in areas for my level would mean a lot of traveling Money to get back to Winter Spring every day to complete that days quest! Then there is the 20 pieces of rugged lather! No Biggie! I have a hunter that I play and he sent my Druid in Winter Spring the 20 pieces of rugged Lather! I am sure if you can't get it from another tune of yours you might be able to get it from a Guild member, Friend? Or in worse case you could go to the AH in any major City and Buy it, But, Be prepared to spend a significant amount of Gold to get it there! Some of the AH prices on stuff is just totally out there! I don't know how anyone could make that much Gold (Legally in the Game!) to buy some of that stuff in the AH! It is ridicules! But aside from that, You collect the Whiskers! You get good XP for each Day you run that days quest to feed your Baby Tiger or kill stuff to make a toy for him or teach him to hunt! Its fun and OK! But, Then there's the 80 Gold you have to pay the trainer up on the cliff when you turn in all the pieces so he can make your saddle and rains etc. So, You will be able to summon your new Riding Mount after you complete all the days of the quest! That's when I got upset at the hole deal! Its a Rip Off! Or, Another sick Joke form the makers of WOW! I been playing for over 8 years! So, I'm not a Newbie by any starch of the imagination! I have 11 Tunes on Ice Crown and several smaller groups on 4 other servers for when I get board or mad! I quit for over a year! Back in like 2009 through most of 2010! because it was getting impossible to have fun! and I got feed up! I kept paying my subscription in case they "Fixed the game and made it Fare!" and when I came back I Noticed that they DID FIX IT! All the things I didn't like at least! And made other things better and I really liked the changes, Well, Most of them! and I been playing again all most every day since! Well I go and turn in the quest! I get a Plain White Tiger Mount! OK, Its got Purple Claws and glowing eye's! Big Deal! Its not any faster then any other "FAST" Mount! And I have that ability to ride fast mounts etc. Its not fancy! or Killer looking? It just like the plain ones you by at the Druid Stables! In fact the Fast Tiger Mount from the Druid Stables is really nice! Lots of color fancy saddle and rains and harnesses! This thing I waited 20 days for and paid 80 Gold and all the other stuff is Bland! and I'm being nice! The Baby Tiger is at least Cute! And Then! To Add insult to injury! After you pay and give everything required to get your mount! Take a minute!, And Click on the guy again that you just got your Mount from! He has the same dang thing for sale for 70 Gold! Right Then! No Waiting! No trying to get all the leather and stuff and its at least 10 Gold Cheaper! What is THAT! Like I Said its a Sick Joke? Or? They just want to laugh at you and pour salt in the wound! ITs a JOKE! Don't Waste your time and GOLD and Leather! PASS! On this one guys! Really! I haven't Played this week much till I cool off a bit! I'm Insulted! I PAY! TO Play this GAME! I don't Expect to get TREATED LIKE A FOOL OR AN IDEAT! Although I'm starting to think that By Playing this Game and they are getting what $16.00 Dollars a Month for over 7 Million Players! Get your Calculator and look at the Number that is! Per Month! I know they have employees and servers and phone lines to pay for, But, Really! The Interest from the millions they are making from us "GAME" Players would more then cover that I'm sure! I'm sure they will ban this! and maybe Me! Too! I'm Sure there is No Such thing as freedom of Speech in this outfit and that's fine! But if you read this ask yourself WHY? Why are they doing this cheep shot to Faithful Gamers that just want to have fun! I was hurt in a Bad Car Accident back in 1995! I can't do much more then this! I have Money and I enjoy playing this Game! and I don't care that they are getting rich from this and the other games they create and host! That is Free enterprise! and if they have a good product and people want it? They Should Get Rich! That's the way of the world! I have enough money that I may not be considered rich? But, I don't miss the money I pay for my entertainment! I Just don't appreciate a slap in the face when I trust the people that provide this game or entertainment for me and everyone else that likes it and plays it! But, I am just one of millions that are putting Food on there table! I would expect a little respect and this was just uncalled for! I will never Trust a long winded Quest on WOW Again! I'll Pass! If and when some of my Friends say: "Its a good Quest" I can always go back and run it! No Biggie! Well! That's it! I Feel Much better now! LOL! I'll get Off my Soap Box and go Back in my corner! and Start playing again! I Just don't think doing hurt full things to Questers or cheating them and laughing in there face about it? Is in the spirit of the Game! Who Ever thought of this quest should be at least Reprimanded! If not sent down to the mail room! At least for a few months to think about there attitude! Thank you for reading and your Time! Corgon...

So, you got your mount but don't like it?
Unless you wanted to get it just because it's one of the things to acquire, you could have just looked up online how the mount looks like.
I didn't really like the mount either and didn't use it more than a few days, mostly because of the "disconnected" riding style of saber tigers in general, but I still had fun doing the quests.

There is no way in hell you've been playing for 8 years if this method of acquiring the sabre upsets you or the price of rugged leather upsets you or if the prices in the AH make no sense to you.
Unless of course you've spent that 8 years exclusvely dueling in Goldshire or teabagging poor saps you gank on a PvP server.
Also the purpose of the help subforum is to get actual help, not to vent your spleen in a wall-o-text blog post.

Eccentrica is exactly correct, this is the WoW Help forum and is not the place for such posts as that. As the thread is old I'm opting to simply lock it.
