I have such a long history with this mount. When i started playing WoW i was 14 and couldn't decide between being a night elf or a blood elf. I liked the Nelves more but Belfs could ride raptors and i wanted to have a dinosaur mount soso much! But a little research told me about this mount here and so, assured that i'd be able to get a raptor, i made my first ever character. She is still my main to this day.
What i didnt realize at the time was this sucker came from a raid. and since i was stuck at lvl 70 during LK and most of cata, i needed help farming it. So under the agreement that i would get the raptor and he would get the cat, me and a friend started farming together. The Raptor dropped first, and although we had agreed it would be mine, he admitted he really wanted the raptor too. and since he was doing most of the work during the boss fight, i let him have it- agreeing that i'd get the second one that dropped.
....literally a week later Blizz announced they were removing the raid. I never saw it drop again. (also the friend turned out to be a jerk and we eventually stopped hanging out. though every time he saw me he would mount up on the raptor to taunt me with it. i have been kicking myself over giving it away for years)
So i have basically been trying to save up for this guy (along with a few other mounts) since the BMAH came out. started to take the farm more seriously in Legion and have been checking all my realms every day for this guy. And then he showed up today on one of my dead realms! and even better, blizz had just added cross realm gold trading the day before!
...unfortunately they suspended the trading feature literally as i was trying to use it. and the auction was ending way sooner than i expected so i had to put in an emergency character transfer. with 4 minuets left on the auction, my transfer went through and i used up almost everything i had to bid on it. one more bid and i would have gone broke. but finally after 15 years of waiting, 25 bucks and 5.5 mil gold spent, she is mine!
had to take a pic in front of her old stomping grounds for old times sake.

Re: Mount Acomplishment Thread
And to think the only reason I initially went to the Vale during the Warring Clans mogu invasion was to tame Rei Lun on Lunaire, my nightborne. From seeing all the dead mogu at the entrance to Gao Lai Halls, I had a feeling somebody had just killed/tamed him, but I decided to go test my luck anyway and I'm so glad I did. I made my way to Rei Lun's room in the Hall of the Serpent and, thankfully, nobody else was there. I decided to clear the platform when I got up there and the Zan Tian lasso dropped from the very first mogu I killed!!! O_O
I was excited, but I didn't want to leave and miss my chance at taming Rei Lun, so I parked Lunaire on his platform. I'm so glad I decided to wait (while keeping an eye out for other players) because around twenty minutes later, Rei Lun spawned and I tamed him (6:22 AM EST). Dismissed him, left the Halls, parked myself somewhere safe before refreshing myself on what exactly the lasso I'd gotten did. Cue my shock when I learned that it's the key item for the Ivory Cloud Serpent, my most wanted mount from the mogu invasion! Had to look up a video on what to do before I parked myself on the Gate of the Setting Sun, made a target macro for the serpent and... didn't have to wait too long! @_@ Cue my panic when I couldn't find it immediately, but then I saw it blazing towards me. I had my bag open, clicked the lasso, got the mount!
Obligatory 'pics or it didn't happen!' screenshot with my newly tamed Rei Lun out. I sadly don't have any screenshots of the tame itself due to him not being on camera because I'd misjudged where he spawned on the platform (that and frayed nerves, aha...) Yeah, I'd immediately hearthed back to Valdrakken after getting the mount because I hadn't had breakfast yet, hence the change of scenery.
