There are also many titles and even, wow, mounts that are available through just grinding achievements. In the end it is quite obvious that people in general, just like to complain when they see something that they probably don't have a chance at getting.
The part you left out was that none of the mounts already on offer were specifically requested by the 'casual' playerbase. Or if there was a thread started requesting warhorses I missed it. The hellhounds though, a lot of people who never PvPed in their life wanted those and the new mount...well that's a story NPC who has fans that don't pvp at all. And honestly how does that mount even remotely fit with the theme? Also those rewards by themselves DO NOT offer a competitive aspect. The competitive aspect is the nature of PvP itself with the rewards merely being the atta boy for top placement.

Not a day goes by that I don't see some of the really invested PvPers asking when the botting and blatent win-trading will be fixed. So how many of those top 100 player did actually get their mounts free? While the majority likely earned it through hard work and effort you cannot deny a portion of them did not, the evidence is on Youtube, Twitter, and Reddit. The legitimate ones, those folks should be recognized 100% somehow, but when you can bot your way to rewards then it has already devalued them more than any amount of people getting them through grindy works.

Also, Wolf Marks? Seriously. No. Not unless they allow us to hold millions of them. Or unless they add a second currency item to buy with the marks at 20k marks a pop and the mounts take something like 1k each of them. The mounts should be work.
