I was so very much hoping this thread wouldn't happen. I knew it was inevitable, but a small part of me hoped people would be content enough not to ask. Hopes dashed. I don't want this mount to become a thing. I really don't. Events are far and few so taking part should be this special thing, and the event mount is one of those special things that should stay special. The moment you release it to the wilds of the player population, it stops being special. And when it stops being special, then nothing is special (about it).
