It depends?..If they spent more than a few work hours on something which close to zero (active) players have, it's a waste of resources. It hasn't been a mount you could even aspire to possibly getting for over a decade now...But considering they were already putting in the other versions, and if it was just a quick recolour job, then fair call.
I don't care much about Black scarab only being available to scarab lords.But to add in temporary mounts for a micro holidy instead of making them actual *!@#ing mounts to do with the silithus stuff in 7.3.5? yeah. Livid about that bull&*!@.
No big deal they earned the first one long ago so I don't see a reason why it can't be updated also how many of them are still playing.
I'm resigned to having missed it the first time around, but this does seem a bit like mud in the eye... and a bit pointless, otherwise.
Honestly I'd love to see a bit more exlusive content. I mean there's mythic raiding mounts, but those are always obtainable for the general populace. then there's the challenge mode gear & weaponsets... but people were literally PTWinning those at the end of each xpac so they don't feel special. I'd honestly like to see something else like the mount where only a few hundred can obtain it. People may not like it, but if it's something you have to work for, and people work for it then I think that'd be cool. Maybe have something that disappears at the end of a patch or something. I remember when the whole body shrinka was unobtainable (brought back though) I was disappointed haha. glad it's back though.just my opinions.
I don't think they should have been updated though. Just let them keep the original version of it.
Blizzard wants Scarab Lords to use the mount more that's why they added an updated version of it.
If there are even any legitimate Scarab Lords around besides Ion I'm sure they'll like this.However those of us who are Veterans of The Shifting Sands are still waiting on our 'of The Shifting Sands' titles..............
They should update also Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank, i do not see the reason why not update it, if you do something, do it properly and update all Battle Tanks.
Exclusivity is nice, but rewarding people for having a mount that is unobtainable isn't a good move. They already had a unique mount, and it's absolutely stupid to reward them for having it. Where's my extra two mounts that are HD remasters for both Zul'Gurub mounts?
*sigh* once again Veteran of the Shifting Sands holders still get nothing but the feat
I was just in the revamped Silithus and these are mobs I interacted with. I get the feeling that, in the process of making these updated Qiraji mobs, they decided to rig them so they could be mounts too. And since they could be mounts, they figured that it might be nice to give a cool color to people who got older mounts in the past.I don't think they sat down and said, "Let's spend a lot of time and resources to make a new, exclusive mount for people who earned an old mount."
