Comment by ZapphRaid group size no longer affects the drop rates of Mythic-only mounts.
Comment by ZeheveGod dammit, I read the title as "shrine of the storm mythic only mount" and got excited.Comment by DarklurkarCan someone explain the raid size issue to me? Like what was the issue, did it only affect Antorus or was it places like Black Rock Foundry.Comment by ColdleoI dont think anything from SoO to HFC was effected by these rules

These rules were in place for Guldan and Argus where 20/20 = 100% chance for a mount.Comment by ThromashCan someone explain the raid size issue to me?

Would be nice if the devs added a bit of context to the posts. The way it reads makes me think you could farm Mythic Argus Mount at 100% drop in a group of 20, after Cutting Edge went awayComment by PeredhilI dont think anything from SoO to HFC was effected by these rules

No luck til now. Got 3 alexstrasza's handmaiden and 3 experiment 12b. Is this going to help me get the mount at last?Comment by darthmogrinNo, Hotfix changes Mythic mode onlyComment by sadistic12345imagine farming mounts when not only they are under bugged conditions but might aswell not even drop, hahahahComment by sadistic12345too bad they didint fix the issue of mounts droping (if) only for 1 player in the raid if you do lets say guldanComment by Zapphimagine farming mounts when not only they are under bugged conditions but... hahahahComment by 1814092Che che, 4 months in game and blizz still need nerf dungeons.Comment by quizticso does this increase the chance of Deathwing dropping Blazing Drake? I had close to 1k kills before I gave upComment by lemonhaze13You mentioned above that items purchased with titam residuum are refundable. By this you mean we get a refund by giving back the token or we can get a refund and from the item we received from the token ( e.x. Random head piece ) ? And if that item is refundable, we get the whole amount of residuum back or just a portion of it ?Comment by GrizzlyUKso does this increase the chance of Deathwing dropping Blazing Drake? I had close to 1k kills before I gave upNoonlyComment by lambd1Why would the drop chance of a raid mount be dependent on party size in the current era of personal loot? Back in the days when loot was shared by the raid and could be allocated to different players by the raid leader (or whoever), or swapped around, then controlling the chances of the party getting the drop based on size of the party makes some sense. But they got rid of that and went with personal loot. However, it seems to me that personal loot pretty much eliminates why the drop chance should ever be dependent on raid size, right? My chance of getting the mount drop should be totally independent of other folks in the raid, including how many of them there are.Comment by Gumboso does this increase the chance of Deathwing dropping Blazing Drake?
