First CC and now this?! as a store mount instead... a reward

Are they for real? giving us axolotl mount in high-end content then giving THIS as a store mount?

this announcement alone already killed some BlueEden statics motivations. it was literally perfect reward for a BlueEden but nope store mount.
i guess each expansion we'll see a boss as mount. can't wait for Proto carbuncle store mount announcement

Dear SE please make all mounts and minions I cant get ugly and also make cute mounts under $20, as the ugly mounts deserve a higher price.

Yoshi P, I want Clive Rosfield as a mount in the SE store.

*drools*

I think this is 2nd time people get bamboozled by "BLU mount" and it's kinda funny lol...

Because BLU is going to be doing the Shadowbringers' raids. I always had my doubts given Cruise Chaser was made a cash shop mount.

It was reported in a couple youtube vids that it had the potential to be a BLU mount so I guess datamining/having hopes raised by youtubers?

Yeah, the music was a tell that "this is not BLU music that's playing with this mount"

They've always added content in the game files before other things. Sometimes even by years. The Island Sanctuary ponytails were in the game files for literal years before Island Sanctuary.

Event sets are added sometimes 6 months in advance.

Shadowkeeper is being released along with Eden content. Releasing (or patching in) a Shadowbringers mount the same patch when BLU is going to be able to do Shadowbringers savages AND when previously they had gotten a mount for doing both 50/60 raids and now could do 70/80 raids... It's easy to see why people would believe it would be a BLU reward.
