how about a change to the gilneans mounts --- make the mount a horse drawn carriage like the one the guy in CoC rides in on - the thing is ground bound and could carry the rider up front and up to 4 passengers in back - sweet idea or what?
oh and of course a slow speed and an epic speed one , be nice since we had to wait until 4.3 to get the horses!
you listening blizz???

Isn't strange that Hordies get the Trike mount, virtually doing away with the need to build a chopper, while all the Alliance gets is a bare back horse and continuation of the same ol' tired "bird?" I am tired of the Alliance always getting the bird. They should give us golf carts at the very least. And while I'm on the subject of mounts....bring back the orange tiger that matched my hair so nicely.

Worgen mounts are "Sold by Astrid Langstrump"

A nod to Pippi Longstocking, Astrid is the author of the Pippi book, and Langstrump is Swedish for Longstocking. lol Its odd to have a Swedish character sell horses owned and bred by British Gilneans, but oh well.. lol Its fantasy.

I don't like the fact that I spent cash on TCG loot and you guys put them in-game later. Like Sandbox Tiger is now "Darkmoon Tiger." It better look different. I'm not going to invest in any TCG again, no doubt you'll release an in-game version a year later that looks exactly the same, like my TCG Hippogryph Hatchling that's available cheap on the Blizz Store now. :P

I want that purple Tallstrider mount though. Thats awesome!

The key to raiding is finding a guild that likes to raid. I did just that about 2 years ago. I didnt like how pugs were, generally fail, so thats what prompted the move. I have been estatic ever since. I run with some of the nicest people in the game. That is the key to raiding, to find a group of people with similar interests and goals. The guild im in might not be the guild with the most progression, but what it lacks in that it makes up in nice, caring, understanding, people that arent afraid to explain fights or take our time in achieveing our goals. Yes raiding is more difficult than dungeons for example, but if it wasnt hard to get the top gear, what would there be to work for. And as a last not, i really hadnt raided til i joined my guild, so if i can do it, now as a healer not just a dps, anybody can. It takes a team effort to accomplish a sucessful rail!!! I hope the ones below me read this and take it to heart. And happy killing!! PS. BLIZZARD STOP NERFING PALLY HEALZ....OMG it gets AGGRAVATING. I swear, its your favorite class to mess with and its GETTING OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worgan are the best new alliance race and their mount contribution to the rest of the alliance sucks in comparison. I wanted my human pally to get a sweet armored wolf or something equally bad-a$$ since he will never get to change into a wolf lol.

@Calmador: Worgen were meant to have a warpig at the start as shown at blizzcon but the idea got sc!!!*d for having them just run themselves which made sense. The horses are just there to even out the numbers between ally/horde and not meant for anything else which is why they didn't make the pig an actual mount.

So blizz...what up with never using the whole "Goblin Mobile" Idea? It would be an awesome 4 seater mount from either a dungeon / engineering JS.... Be creative and make mounts like a Dra-Lion or even a suds bike...

well I've been playing this game sance 2008 & Im just now getting in to doing dugeon, and well, lets just say its a hit & miss with that, so if Raiders are any thing like the dugeon finder then I rather stay solow, for what I mean by hit & miss is, somtime you can land with a team that rocks but most time you land with one that are well lets just say there true age shows, or IQ, & then some one gets but hurt & then leave. so Im not sure how raid go for I have never done one, but I do agree with Grimsal, you should make them avable for both thoes who love to raid & thoes who do not,

i personally dont raid because 1 lack of intrest in dealing with the BS that comes with raiding and 2 just a an all around pain to get people to raid on my server, all the mounts and pets and gear should be made available in some shape or fourm for everyone raiders and non raiders alike...and you can nay say me for saying so ,but its the truth everyone pays the same so we should beable to all get the same stuff the same and raiding shouldnt be the only place to get the best gear and mounts and pets ...to me and many others thats what is unblanced and broken in the best game ever... so pleasze blizz for the love of the game fix it....

@Grimsal: Epic gear isn't epic if you can do the easy stuff to get it.

Yeah, yeah. We get it. You pay 15 bucks, too. But you pay 15 bucks to PLAY THE GAME, not get everything in it with minimal effort.

I bought Skyrim and there are plenty of people at level 40+ getting through tons of content I'm not going to have time to get through. Does that mean that since I paid the same price they did, I should be able to get through it easier? No. This argument is invalid.

What could happen is this: Get rid of all the vendor gear and INCREASE CONTENT! Create difficult minigames for Mists of Pandaria. I'm not opposed to different content getting similar statistic gear. I'm opposed to creating giving people who just run heroics a way to get the same stuff that you get in a raid since heroics are a stepping stone to raids.

I am all for anything new, especially mounts. But to be honest Blizz needs to step it up with mount designs.. I mean having the same style mounts with just different colors is kinda getting lame. I agree with others here, lets mix it up a little. How about throwing some really crazy looking mounts, mixed breeds,or Or how about something never seen before. Throw some weirdness at us... Asian MMO's are doing it... Get creative Blizz.

My bet is that the heart of the aspects mount and pet will be guild achievement related. Pet from guild edition fangs of the father achieve. Mount from heroic guild achieves in DS raid.

@Arcae: People who do not raid already have a MASSIVE amount of cool mounts you can get. I suggest you deal with it. This is part of what we get for our time and effort raiding, if you wish to acquire this mount i suggest you put forth the effort to actually get it instead of begging blizz to hand it to you.

@Georgeawesom: As much as I agree with you that the raid mounts should be there for those that put in time and effort raiding. The Idea that raider have no access any of the the non raiding mount is wrong. I think if they added the Mounts to the LFR it would be nice but make them a 1% drop like the old Drop mounts and keep it a sure drop for the Normal raids.

I agree that there should be a different way to get a cool mount. I don't raid but I do like to do PvP and questing and would like a nice Drake or something cool as a reward. I am going to get the Darkmoon Fair Mounts cause they look pretty cool but a Drake would be nice for us non raiders.@Shrillwind:

@Cakemonster: they are other ways of working for mounts. Im not saying they should give it to us or that we should not have to work for it. But its impossible to work for it when you dont have 10/25 other people who can and will work for it with you.

Okay, some nice stuff. But please tell me what is with all of the dragon-like mounts? They are largely the same, just different colors. Couldn't you do something besides dragons, or if you do dragons, make them very different. Maybe one very small, or very large, or whatever. How about a rideable ogre, or big versions of the beasts? I'd love to get a rideable giraffe. Flying mounts, not sure. Big versions of the birds or something.
