EX mount drop rates still trash.

[Deejudanne]

I was shocked to discover today that my 99 totems can't even buy me the mount. I've completely wasted my time. Is this real, I now need to sit on these totems for 8 months?
Granted, I should've checked before even starting the grind if I could buy it but, 1) I've managed to always live in the part of the expansion's life cycle where they were already available to buy, I couldn't even imagine this scenario and 2) I had hope until the very last 99th totem that I'd get the drop.
And btw, 99 times, dropped 3 times.

I mean that's more on you than on SE, they've followed the same template for several expansions

A terrible idea will still remain a terrible idea whether it was done once or a thousand times. The drop rates I can maybe understand, but the insane time gating for people who slogged through the fight 99 times? An unnecessary slap to the face.

Just because it's 'always' that artificially scarced does not mean that this is good.
Often they talk about respecting the player's time. And then they make such low droprates and make people farm 99 totems and wait a long time.
Droprates should be minimum 33%. Would be still timeconsuming enough.

drop rates are increased when the next one releases, just farm it later then

[Oizen]

There is no good reason to make people wait 8+ months to buy the mount with totems. That should be available immediately.

Predatory Patchnote filler for 7.2 I guess.

[AbbyNorml4]

This I agree with. At least let ppl be able to buy the mount right away or the following mid patch. But to have to wait for so long is silly..

[Toutatis]

Meh I just get the clear and don't bother with the mount. I queue when I want and if I get it, good, if not (missing 2 lynx) I do it when they increase drop rates. It's just a useless pixel mount that changes nothing in my life. I find zero enjoyment from doing the same fight over and over

[AddictedToWitches]

I only think that old expac extremes should have the mount drop rate increased to 50-100%, especially if you're trying to do fights that are still VERY VERY LONG unsynced (hades extreme)

Farming Limitless Blue (Extreme) is agony. lol
