Soph's Mount Journal: [Hunting the Love-Rocket]

[Snowbird]

OMG!! congratz!!! i got mine a few days ago to!! and that was after about 4 years of constant farming!!!

Congratz hun!! Its a beautiful mount!

[SylviaDragon]

Woah nice! GRATS!

[Sophistique]

Thanks for the all congrats guys! Was certainly a good day Since then I've also finally finished off Golden Lotus (still not ONE shard from the treasures of the vale ><), so now at 183 mounts with the addition of the 3 cranes

[Castile]

Wow grats on the ashes!! What a great gift from blizz Two very gorgeous mounts you have now <3

[Sophistique]

Woo, at 189 mounts now.

Golden Lotus - check! Got the 3 Cranes

August Celestial - check! Got that gorgeous Thundering Cloud Serpent

Shado-Pan - check! (just this morning) Got the awesome Onyx Cloud Serpent and those amazing tigers!! (squee! love me some tigers <3)

Really want to push to get 200, so the plan is:

#190 Alani - at 7/10 shards, hopefully soon
#191 Anglers mount (should hit revered today, so a few days away)
#192 Pandaren Rep mount
#193/194 Dominance mounts (only done one round with these guys, so this will be awhile...)
#195 Darkspear Riding Raptor (Argent Tournie mount - yep, I need to finish a few of these off, so back to that grind)
#196 Orgrimmar Wolf (Argent Tournie)
#197 Silvermoon Hawk Strider (Argent Tournie)
#198 Sunreaver Dragonhawk (Argent Tournie)
#199 Sunreaver Hawkstrider (Argent Tournie)
#200 Swift Forest Strider (Darkmoon Faire)

Good news is, Alani is the only "RNG" based mount up there, so I feel happy I should hit the 200 goal pretty easily. Then there is the four "RNG" mounts that I'm working on as well.

I'm also farming for the Zulian Panther & ZG Raptor as well - and I'm working on getting the Alyz solo down right. I tried on the weekend, but my net kept spiking on me and therefore not registering the rings I was flying through, which ends up in me falling out of the sky & dying. Needless to say, I got frustrate and left.

Tomorrow I hope to get a group together to kill Conclave in To4W and get myself an Al'Akir lock out to start working on him as well.

[Sophistique]

Oh! Also put together the gold to blow on 4 Orb of Mystery's to get the Epic Panther made - so all the JC mounts are now mine as well.

[Sophistique]

8/10 on the shards and my DK has 170(something) tickets at the Faire, so going to use her to get the last few to get the Forest Strider from DMF.

Hopefully those last two shards drop quickly this week - dying to pull her down.

[Snowy]

Good luck on the last two! (: My boyfriend got a Skyshard last week and didn't even know what they were. I almost died when he told me. D:

[Shadow]

Belated congratulations, and I'm so jealous xD I'm exalted with Golden Lotus and spent a good 4 hours straight farming Black Prince rep on the side and I've never even seen one!

[Sophistique]

9/10... 1 more to go. They do not drop easily for me it seems. I've been pulling farm runs for a good 5 hours straight after I get home from work and before I go to bed.

0 - Daily Golden Lotus Dailies
1 - Tricksters (this was my first ever drop)
8 - From the Spirits at the Burial Grounds

I did get an epic cape to drop from the Tricksters, and a lot more cloth, greens and blues which are great for my enchanter, but they are an honest pain to farm on my spriest as well. I find the Spirits easier, means I can burn them down faster and keep going - and I find no real wait time on the spirits either. You kill the Tricksters and I found myself waiting for more to spawn all the time, where you keep doing the laps on the spirits and there is always something to kill.

Hit 190 mounts last night - purchased the Orgrimmar Wolf with 100 Argent Tournament tokens, so 1 off the list so far

[Sophistique]

Well, I should have had a nice story this morning... but instead, I have a story of utter devastation. A warning to all I guess, that Master Loot can actually fail you...

Reins of the Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent - should have set me at 193 mounts this morning. My guild knows what a mount collector I am, and I said, "well, today I get me some Alani finally!" after farming my last sky shard last night and waking up this morning to see Alani floating past Shrine of Two Moons. Two guildies quickly offered to come and help out (I knew I didn't need the help, but I thought it'd be nice to have some people there to celebrate with me).

So, invited them both, threw on Master Loot, pulled Alani with the crystal. They had her dead pretty quick between the two of them, and she dropped literally at our feet. Click on her... nothing... wait... wait... then they said 'oh so we roll now? sweet! thanks! haha just kidding'. The roll window didn't even pop up for me.... next minute I see one of them have looted the reins, the other guy passed for me. So, I ask the guy to trade to me, it keeps appearing in the "Items to be Modified" section and he says it's untradeable... I don't believe that, anything you loot in a group is able to be traded for an hour...

Currently have a ticket in with Blizzard... but I have this sickening feeling I'll get the generic... "loot system working as intended, tough cookies" even though I have screenshots of it ON Master Loot and a shot of the window where it shows the guy receiving the loot.

Pretty upset at this point, needless to say.

[SylviaDragon]

Oh no! D: Thats horrible! I hope you can get her back. =( What a nightmare.

[Suicune]

I read your post on the official forums, I'm sooooo sorry this happened to you- because even if you get it back, the wait time for the response is the most stressful and sickening thing to deal with. I send you my wishes for you to have amazing GMs like I have encountered throughout my WoW 'career', and they see something messed up and you are entitled to your hard earned mount. As with many issues I have seen reported, if one isn't helpful, ticket again until you get one that will. It is also a boon that he doesn't have the rep to learn it, as a GM would likely be hard pressed to help in that case, I think, as they have to get permission from higher ups to do anything regarding that stuff. Good luck! /hug

[Lisaara]

Oh no!!!! I hope the GM you get will help you! D:

[Meggers]

Its probably going into that part because he needs to MANUALLY drag it into the trade window. If you just right click it hops its butt into the enchant box at the bottom.

[Bangeall]

I really hope the GMs help you with this; this is clearly not a case of "loot system working as intended", and your screenshots prove it. I have found them to be very helpful in the past, but, as Suicune said, keep pressing the issue until you get the help you need. Best of luck.

[Shadow]

*hugs Soph* Dx I hope they fix it, and fast!

[Loki]

That really sucks. Hope you get it back!

[Snowy]

That is beyond horrific, especially after all the work you went through to get the shards. :/ They better do something about it!

[Castile]

Sending my best wishes for your mount, thats really sucky!
