There is nothing, absolutely nothing in this game more casual than free epic mount.
Staff stole the experience of farming to get your epic mount to those fast 60's and the feat of buying it for its true price.
Then, those 60's ruin the experience of 48+ players since they don't have nothing to do than gank lowbies for honor. Don't get me wrong, gank will exist always, but when literally all 60s have nothing to do than get honor and there are no BG's, questing is impossible, and this shit happens for both faction sides.
And when BG's come and new 60s won't have epic to chase flags will be more fun for them too. Good luck to not be replaced in any premade without it.
Btw I will get over it and buy it for its true price, you know, blizzlike price.
And congratulations to the fortunates.
