Personally I am getting a little over this type of grinding as the concept as it is a little old now, but it's an "effort = reward" system that still kind of works. There are other ways of doing this but not many that are a successful or visually/continually rewarding as this old formula.For me the only grinding formula that I think is total BS is a RNG Grinding, like Sky Shards. You still need to grind (as you need to collect multiple) but you can do it for weeks, and quite possibly with absolutely no reward what so ever if you don’t have good RNG. It's literally putting in hours/days/weeks/MONTHS of grinding and you have NOTHING to show for it, it's kind of BS.
And then with a little good RNG someone can get 2-3 in a few hours... it's just EVILNESS that has no place in WOW imo.
MOP has been full of this type of "reward" compared to prior expansions. It's all been very chance/luck driven.
~ Warbringers only having a small % drop chance on the mount, If you find one and can kill it, not one 100% drop chance this expansion. (eg Timelost, Posiden, Aeonaxx)
- (I’d also like to add that they were only added very late in the expansion, but before the Warbringers and Houlon were added, there were no rares to drop/gain mounts from the entire expansion. Also MOP has been the only expansion including Vanilla to not have a rare mount drop in one of its 5 Man Dungeons, which I was pretty sad about too.)
~ Game currency slowing moving from a saveable/useable resource, to a "Flipping another Coin" to have another small % drop chance from a boss.
I understand luck can be exciting, but too much left to chance can make one disillusioned if your luck is low.
Anyways, that’s just my gripe regarding grinding and the rewards associated being mounts
