Not sure how I feel about it being a gold sink though. If it's higher than the Grand Expedition Yak, I'd rather buy that one instead.Due to popular demand (and a few shady back-alley deals in Stormwind’s Old Town), the Alliance bike built for Azeroth Choppers will be rumbling its way to a vendor in Azeroth sometime after the launch of Warlords of Draenor. This mount will cost a pretty hefty sum of gold, however, so you might want to start saving up now if you want to ride around in style on this masterful machine. As a reminder, once the winning Horde Chopper is added to the game, it will be available for free to players who log in between now and September 30, 2014.
Remember, only characters of the associated faction will be able to ride each bike, so buyer beware!

Re: Alliance chopper is in as a gold sink
I was certain we'd see the Alliance Chopper in, and I was sure it wouldn't be easy to get or the competiton would have been meaningless. I guess it couldn't really be via engineering without it being lopsided, though.

I myself don't care for it--wheels look weird. But for those who did, I'm glad it's in as a money sink anyways.

Customers: "YAY! For the Horde, For the Alliance!"
Blizzard: "The votes are in! The one bike that will make it into the game is.... HORDE!!!"
Horde customers: "YAY!!"
Alliance customers: "That's no fair! we didn't agree to this! GIMME NAO!"
Moral of the story: No matter how clearly something is explained, people will be sh**-for-brains and go out of their way to not understand, and then whine and bitch and moan about it, and cry about how everything was "unfair".
BTW, I saw a bunch of Alliance players on the forums say that they had voted for the Horde bike because they thought it looked better. Yes, that definitely helps your cause.

Re: Alliance chopper is in as a gold sink
But I still think the Horde one looks better and wish my Alli toons could use that instead. :p

You seem to be a bit misinformed here.

The part where you make the erroneous assumption that the model and animations didn't exist/weren't worked on before people started complaining about it.

please quote my post where I say that.Qraljar wrote:The part where you make the erroneous assumption that the model and animations didn't exist/weren't worked on before people started complaining about it.
the show was advertised, on television.
Blizzard never made any statements at the time of the show that BOTH bikes would be in-game. They always said that only one bike would be.
People jumped to the (correct, as it turned out) conclusion that both bikes would somehow make their way into the game.
I have made absolutely no statements regarding a timeline for the animation of the resultant bikes.
All I said was that people were told only one bike would make it, most people didn't complain at that time.
Then when it was clear that it was the horde bike making it into the game, the alliance players started hollering that it "wasn't fair".
There were COUNTLESS threads and postings on different forums about how "Blizzard favours the horde".
Deny that all you want, you'll still be wrong.
And invent strawman arguments all your want, and you'll again still be wrong.

Re: Alliance chopper is in as a gold sink
I'd prefer it if they went the route of "Just kidding, you get both!" but that's never seemed to be Blizzard's way, which is a shame but eh- that's how it is.

Re: Alliance chopper is in as a gold sink
Pretty much this and what Azu said. If it were the other way around, the same QQing would've happened but there was never anything saying one way or another. They just said the winning bike would be a free mount.Wain wrote:There's no hard evidence either way, but I'm convinced they intended to make both bikes available from the start. The opportunity just seems too much for them to pass that up. But announcing it at the start of the contest would have dulled the enthusiasm.
