Brag and Question - Qiraji Battle Tank Mounts
However, and I'm looking for maybe a few sharp eyed gals and guys out there to debunk or confirm this, that there are whisperings come Cataclysm, the Qiraji Battle Tank Mounts may become a permanent mount. IE: Usable outside of AQ.
I want to think a Blue Poster actually confirmed this a while ago, but I could be mixing up fact with fiction. Anyone else recall this? I though the initial thought was that the mounts were rare, the Black One unobtainable, and that it didn't hurt game mechanics (as they already do count for the mount achievement anyway). I've also heard rumors that AQ may be disappearing come Cataclysm, but I think this stems from everyone's general paranoia about the old vanilla content shifting and evolving.
Any information or thoughts welcomed! Here's hoping I love the little buggy mounts.
---
Now my brag is a simple one. Ages ago, a guildie had crafted a small AQ run where I was able to pick up the Green Qiraji Battle Tank Mount. There was a lot of competition, since many were on the run for old world rep, as well as their own crystals for their own mount collections. Even my hubby made out with more crystals than I.
Luckily, this same guildie dragged me and my hubby, and a few friends, back to AQ just last night. It has been MONTHS since I've been there! Our friend was only after the Red Qiraji Battle Tank Mount. As is everyone. One dropped on our first kill! I won the roll! However, my friend was heartbroken as this is the one he's been after for ever. The reason he put together the runs, etc. I should also mention that every day, he also is the one taking me into Seth' to get me my Raven Lord Mount.
Is there any question that I popped open the Trade Window and gave him the one I just won? Course not. He's a friend. He was happy and it made his night. I told him I can always come back and farm later on.
Later on in the night, after a few more pulls, everyone evened out a lot of their Crystal collection. My hubby gained all but red, (then again he was only missing Blue from his first run). I gained myself the Yellow Qiraji Battle Tank Mount and the Blue Qiraji Battle Tank Mount.
This was the last pull of the night. Red Qiraji Battle Tank Mount dropped. I couldn't believe it. All other 5 people rolled, myself included. The hubby won! I was happy for him, and jokingly said 'Anyway I can buy it off you?'
Being the great husband (technically fiance,) he is, he popped open trade and passed me my Red Qiraji Battle Tank Mount! With that, I gained my Feat of Strength and 4th Crystal. It also marked my 84th mount!

So yes. Boys are awesome
And should my hubby stumble across this obscure post somewhere.. THANK YOU POOKY I LOVE YOU. <3

Re: Brag and Question - Qiraji Battle Tank Mounts
I havn't heard of any blue posts on the subject, but who knows, there may have been. I hope so.. I want to be able to ride my adorable bugs anywhere!
Anyways, congrats on the mounts! I managed to get all three on a few runs, and I began to solo farm for the red, bringing in a few friends to get them the other colours. I managed to get the yellow, blue and green for both of my cousins, my boyfriend and two in game friends before I finally got the red on my main. I killed a few more by myself and got another red crystal, so it's sitting in my bank since there was no one there to share at the time
Then I decided to duel screen my account and my boyfriends to get his other character and my warlock the mounts (as we are both collecting and had none). Second kill.. red AQ tank! I wasn't sure to give it to my warlock, or to his paladin, so I just /rolled and gave it to the winner which happened to me. But I still got him the other three colours, and we are still trying to get him the red.
It always feels nice to get mounts for yourself, and to give some away to others!

Re: Brag and Question - Qiraji Battle Tank Mounts
I really hope we'll be able to use them outside of AQ come Cata. I'll be careful not to get my hopes of too high though. =(

Re: Brag and Question - Qiraji Battle Tank Mounts
However i havent heard anything about that beeing true.
I highly doubt that the AQ instances will be gone with cata, if anything they will either turn it into a 5 man heroic(unlikely) or upgrade it like they did with Naxx(possible but no rumors of it). Or it wont change but recieve cosmetic changes to the outside(very likely).

Black Qiraji Battle Tank.
That's why. Because evidently it would Take away the specialness. So I'd not hold my breath on them becoming usable outside of AQ. Sure, I want them to do so. And I also want tameable Sithilid tanks to jump like they do, but will it happen? Again probably not.

Letting me use my other silithidtanks outside AQ would be very nice, since I was royally pissed off when the time ran out, and I could just stare at the spot where my questgiver was supposed to be.

Re: Brag and Question - Qiraji Battle Tank Mounts
And I dissagree that making the other colours usable outside AQ would make the black less special. It's still the BLACK BUG. People (especially mount collectors) are all going to know how rediculously rare and amazing that is, just like any other rare mount. If you see someone with the ZG tiger, you still know how rare and special it is, even though it's just a recoloured version of a common racial mount.
But I'm also not going to try and get my hopes up too much for this, because well.. you know Blizzard haha.
