Something that is bugging me

So I have been pondering this for a while now...

Since mod 9 came out and we got the stable stuff many players have missed out on the bonuses of each mount they have had in their inventory at one time or another.

Lets face it, how many people are going to equip an Armored Axebeak when you already have a Costal Flail Snail equipped? The profit is too great to do such a thing really. You got it in your collections and that was enough at that point. There wasnt any reason to keep it in your inventory because thats room players just dont have for the most part.

What if there were a way to get that back with out spending the 10 million AD to buy a new one? Personally I think having a nerfed version of the abilities of a legendary mount (and only legendary mounts) that you had in your inventory at one point before the mod 9 update would be acceptable. Heck I would probably settle for just having the 140% movement boost and maybe half of the equip bonuses. Not the summon one of course as that shouldnt be nerfed period and you should have to have a new mount for that to happen, but I dont see too much of an issue with 2k stats instead of 4k stats.

Anybody else think this instead of just me? If not, thats cool. I am not too butthurt over this but it has been bothering me.

I just know its a lot of AD to re-buy any mounts people have previously sold prior to mod 9. Many, if not all of them, have been obtained by chance through lockboxes and the odds are not in anybodies favor for them to be gotten again.

I thought in the past that it would be good if we can re-equip things in our collections etc, but then they would probably lose too much money on that (people buying keys etc).

It would be nice if we could use the Skins in our collections which would give a lot more diversity to our Fashion Looks etc. Maybe if we lost the bonuses when selling the item but allow us to keep the skin... also a good reason to make collections worth something then.

Actually making the Collections viable would be a good idea.

I am just a bit buggered that I got only a single legendary mount by pure chance and I wasnt going to equip it because I had the same mount but as an epic version. Same bonuses except the legendary was a bit faster and could be summoned in combat. I didnt want to have a bound mount taking up inventory space at the time because I just didnt have the room for it.

So I sold the bloody thing. Yes I know, seems stupid. But thats what it is. Before I even knew about the stable coming out in mod 9 I had sold the thing. I suspect many other people did similar things as well. I just want something to come out of this because of the new features.

I would say that it will only be a matter of time before a legendary mount comes to the zen market. It may be expensive, but compared to buying keys or a TH legendary mount which are astronomical in price, it would prove much less expensive in order to get the mount speed/combat power. Personally, I would buy one from the Zen store...

I don't think we'll ever see a Legendary Mount in the Zen Market. I hope I'm wrong but it's a good way to to stimulate the economy.

I'm surprised they haven't brought out Mount Upgrade Tokens like the Companion ones.

Id like to see them being upgradable but on your main point, they won't give you any kind of replacement just because you sold it. As far as they are concerned you made a profit by not keeping it, to give you an extra bonus would be "having your cake and eating it" as the saying goes.

I'd be happy if they just sold an orange mount or two in the zen store. they don't have to sell all of them. they could just have a couple special ones same way the legendaries work. people would still want particular mounts and buy tons of key packs for them but it would give those of us who don't want to spend 39 million on a mount the way to get one. lol

The issue to me though is that the stable thing wasn't ever announced prior to the announcement of mod 9. with no prior knowledge of the upcoming stable update people from various time periods in the game would have sold mounts.

Someone could have gotten a Legendary mount a year ago and sold it for a profit on the AH yet if they were aware of this update they never would have done such a thing. Instead they would have held onto it.

That is what bothers me. Which is why I am bringing this up. I am not asking for the full stats of the mount. The combat use of the mount should require you to have that mount in your inventory period, but the equip stuff I think shouldn't be too big of a deal. Heck even reduced equip stats I am certain wouldn't be frowned upon by most people. Legendary mounts are extremely difficult to get and very expensive on the market, this would allow those who filled out their collections to get some use out of it.

What other content was known to factually be coming a year in advance? This is just the way of it..

But, I wouldn't be surprised if something is done to make legendary mounts more common place in the future. Whether that be via Zen market, or increased drop rate from a lock box. As with everything else, the "haves" get to have their time of exclusivity until the next best thing comes out... possibly mythic mounts?

I love the idea of being able to pull a mount out of collections. I mained a pally for so long, when I pulled an orange axe beak, I gave it away. Now that I main dps, I'm kicking myself for not locking it in my bank.

Well at least having legendary mounts a bit more common would be acceptable. I am a bloody pally and dont need an axebeak, legendary or otherwise so I sold the thing to help support my guild (still tiny BTW). It is just one of those aggravating things to me.

I totally get that they couldnt give us a year's warning on this. Updates happen, however with something like this a couple months isnt too much to ask is it?

The idea of upgrade tokens is a great one. I would totally buy into those if they came into the game as it adds some functionality to the mounts beyond what we already have. Granted it should be a hefty cost to upgrade them to legendary as the should also gain the combat powers of a legendary mount.

And they probably will have to figure out legendary versions of other kinds of mounts just for variety but they dont need a huge amount of them.

Sounds like a bunch of people whom got rid of stuff that could have proven useful had they known but that's life. And how are players of this game not used to it by now. You made a gain one way or another from your decisions so let's just be happy with what we had(have)
