Myself, truth be told, am now excited that my mammoth is not up to date... Why might I hear you ask? Because it might just mean I'll be able to buy another mount somewhere down the track. I know that they will always be adding more mounts as the game progresses, but so far I've felt a little underwhelmed by the mount options with cata, as in I want more!! But like I said, only time will tell.No LVL 85 Food/Water on Mammoth mount vendors?
The multi-seater mammoths have a very Northrend-specific feel to them, so we don't necessarily want to just straight update their vendors. We like the idea of having mounts with usable vendors in general, though, and are looking into the possibility of adding new ones in the future (ones that would provide higher level food and drinks). There are already a few ideas incubatin', but nothing that we can reveal just yet.
[...] Your gold wasn't spent needlessly. The multi-seater mammoth mounts still have a fast run speed, can hold up to three passengers, and allow nearby players to sell and repair their items. That functionality is available to everyone, regardless of when the mount is or was purchased.
(Oh and I want a 150 mount achievement mount dammit bliz! Oh and make it a reaaaaaly fancy one
I love a good goal to aim for!)
