i havent noticed that myself,but its utter bullsh.... needless to say.

Only thing i notice is how whenever I wanna join a farm party for either of those...I run into a lot of lootmaster parties. "FARM FOR MOUNT. LOOT IN ORDER OF JOINING"
And the worst part is that theres quite a few people joining those...........WHY?! Its the most obvious waste of time when you wanna farm the mount. Just think about how you sometimes go HOURS without a single mount drop.
And then youre the 4th person to join the party...or the last one. Why would you even do it? How many farming parties even last that long without anyone dropping out?
