EX mount drop rates still trash.

Why would anyone farm the totems for a mount now? They actively incentivize players not to do the latest extreme. Can't buy the mount, but when you can buy the mount over half way through the expansion the drop rate is increased and by that time you can already clear it faster with better gear. And if you don't give in to instant gratification by waiting just a little longer you will soon be able to do it unsynced. Or you can wait to get it for free in a future mog tome event.

That's what makes it special. The whole point of it is as a symbol of bragging rights. The fact that you were persistent enough to beat the odds (or lucky enough) and get the mount. Once it's older, then more people have a chance to get it, and it's less prestigious. Thus, they raise drop rates and add the pity buy.

I get that but the only people who benefit are the ones who actually do their 435 runs to get the drop. The people who stop at 99 totems as suggested have just wasted their time with nothing to show for it. There is no reason to do that on launch.

ok, no one's forcing you. Either keep going to get the mount, or know that you'll get it a couple patches down the line. Like I said, it keeps the mount rare and prestigious.

Thread gives me elegon and anzu farming ptsd flashbacks from wow. I still don't have those it's been decades. I No longer care. The practice of making these mounts so hard to get eventually makes people give up.
