Better they would finally fix stupid Ashran, so we will able to get reputation with Spear/Vanguard again. But yeah, only in dreams.
It's almost certainly either a bug, inb4 "tHaNkS wOwHeAd!". Or a bad luck protection in line with the Legion legendaries because those of us who rarely open paragon boxes are getting nothing, yet those who have previously opened a lot of boxes are getting mounts, toys, pets, you name it, whatever the boxes drop they are getting.
When you give away mounts that people sunk hours grinding for to earn, it really removes the sense of pride and accomplishment for them.Here's hoping the Korthia mounts don't end up getting the same treatment years down the line.
Nazjatar paragon mount is on par with Legion paragon mounts, fix it too
Some personal evidence: I was at 30 Dreamweaver boxes, 32 Valajar boxes, and 17 Army of the Light boxes before the patch. The first box of each reputation I opened since the patch had my missing two mounts and AoTL toy. All my Legion paragons are done. I don't have a Nazjatar box ready to open though.
This is more than a statistical improbability. During Legion I often got duplicate mounts from Broken Isles factions randomly, as I did a lot of paragon boxes. My boyfriend and I had a running joke about how many mounts we had to "take out back and shoot" before they put a (trivial) vendor value on them. I never got a duplicate from Argus paragon boxes, though. I assumed that they had put in some sort of non-duplicate code that checked before giving you a mount to see if you already had that one. Then in BfA we stopped seeing duplicates. I saw the title and said to myself that I hadn't seen anything different lately coming from Legion paragon boxes. But since I got all the mounts during Legion, I wouldn't have. It sounds like they had some sort of routine that didn't update the database very soon after you got a mount."I think they are increasing the drop chances on purpose, to keep the existing playerbase playing." I disagree. I think they are increasing the drop rate so people will stop farming Legion content to get those mounts, so they can get on with their wow lives. "When you give away mounts that people sunk hours grinding for to earn, it really removes the sense of pride and accomplishment for them." I'm going to say no. During Legion we got them by farming rep tokens on many alts. I have them all and I think there definitely should be bad luck protection on them. I was there so I farmed those missions hard. But people having so spend so much time doing old world quests is counterproductive.
Oh boy, I might finally get myself to farm these then.
You can, and have been able to for quite some time. Loot the people you kill, you'll get race-specific blue items to turn in for rep.
You can only get duplicate mounts if you never learned the mount.If you learned it, you will not get anymore special items/mounts for the paragon caches.
This explains why I've gotten the Court of Farondis mount and Warders toy from paragon boxes recently. Just Dreamweavers to go and I'm set. Nice to know it's likely to drop soon.
^Thanks a lot for the hint, but items JUST DONT DROP. However, they dropped till 9.1.5
It would be great if this higher drop rate also applied to BFA reputation chests.
All of these mounts should have been sold for gold at exalted, paragon mounts shouldn't exist. Some toys or pets are whatever
