Aside from being limited and exclusive content, there was a reason lore wise. The art of beast taming is a secret, and perhaps if they ever bring back the people who unlocked the secret, they may teach the technique again (or at least a different goobbue type; might be a good exclusive mount for beastmasters).

Though as a whole, there were emails, site updates and letters from the producers claiming this was an exclusive mount only available up to patch 1.23a back in July of 2012 or so. There is no disputing written guarantees years past, especially with the precedence as stands with exclusive meaning exclusive. This is the honest and cited truth of the matter at hand.
