DarknessCalls 8 Report post Posted January 7, 2018 Patch is already in effect. And yes people exploited that to get a super cheap epic mount riding. Extremely silly and unblizzlike in my opinion. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jupes85 5 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Pretty much every 60 has an epic now. Noticed it today after not being on for a few days, and I imagine it's because they bought the cheap skill pre-patch. It's pretty lame. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Blizzard first did it, no one even thought to plan on it happening. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Blizzard first did it, no one even thought to plan on it happening. Blizzard did not implement this change until 1.12.1. The fact the people knew beforehand or not is irrelevant at that stage of the game, unless you're a late comer. But certainly the majority of the playerbase had purchased the full priced riding skill by September '06. All in all, it mostly just served as a way for players to be able to purchase other mounts for cheaper. I don't imagine a lot of players would have planned on sticking to their level 40 mounts until the last few months of Vanilla just so they can get cheaper riding. But unfortunately, that isn't the reality on here. People are still leveling up. People are still fresh 60s, trying to scrap gold together. So when you allow them to buy a skill for 200g instead of 900g, then it has a huge impact. Huge oversight by the devs. Super unfortunate. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know how any of this works, but my solution would be: delete epic mount & riding for everyone who exploited, send them their 180g for it back and have them buy it again but for the intended 1000g. dont know it thats even possible to do, wont happen anyway bc this was clearly intentionally a gift for everyone who reached lvl60 early. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
