Wouldn't it be fun to have more then the lavender saber mount from the wintersping frostsabers?
Mainly this
as another buyable mount from them?
Maybe Bliz? :3

No you wouldn't, Redith. If the Wintersaber trainers had it, it'd be Alliance only.
Personally, I think the purple tiger mount is more than sufficient, and adding another skin to that rep grind would be yet another painful reminder of the fact it took five years for the Horde to finally get the ravasaur. Leave it at purple tiger/venomhide ravasaur and have done with it.

@Astratia : I burst out laughing
And I absolutely agree with what Tahlian said. I felt very sorry for the Horde that they didn't have an equivalent to our kitty, and it was about time they got something to compensate. =) And if they DID add another skin, they'd have to add another raptor, which defeats the purpose of the cute quest chain, I think anyway. =)

Ah, you know what I did forget that this was an alliance only rep grind.
Well, on can dream right? ^_^

I'd like there to be a new Cat mount available in-game (not through the TCG) for Horde characters, now that the Zulian Tiger's gone. And, I guess, a new raptor for the Alliance.
Hey, how about a rare-drop Aqua saber mount in Winterspring, and a rare-drop Raptor mount in Un'goro? Each would have a miniscule chance to drop off any mob in the zone, like how some of the small pets are now, and each would be available to both factions. That could work!

I would like that so long as they gave horde another rideable raptor equivalent with the gray raptor skin (looking at you, Takk the Leaper).

Could always add in another quest chain for it. Maybe the troll quest giver has a twin sister, hmm?

Yes yes yes. I would farm the zone for hours on end. They could also make them random rare spawns (like Time-Lost and Aeonaxx). Passive mobs so the lower levels don't QQ about it. I want a raptor mount so bad

Anzu will not let me have him and my silly skele raptor sounds like a chicken when my worgen howls, lol.

I'd like it to be Alliance only. Horde already have the goblin trikes so Alliance is still gipped by 2 mounts.

Oh, no no no no. Not after all the time Horde spent short three mounts overall. Not after all the time Tauren could only ride kodos, wolves and the PvP raptor. How it stayed that way even after there were achievements based on mount numbers. Not after they added in mounts that were already in use by NPC's. Not after when people mentioned the undead had four 60% mounts and only two 100% mounts blues said the goal was to make the numbers even, not to give players nice things. And not after how Alliance players told Horde players to stop the QQ and suck it up.
No, as much as I don't mean to sound like a douch bag, Alliance needs to sit and stew for a bit. Enjoy the taste of it. So quickly we all forget that there was a time when it was unbalanced the other way when we complain. And you should appreciate the fact that your choices were never kodo or hoof it until level 60/exalted with Orgrimmar.
They fixed it for Horde. I'm sure they will add two more faction mounts. There are several lovely unused mount assets, including (I think) four NE saber cat mounts that will hopefully come your way. Or that they put back in the old epic mounts. There were two more changed out for Alliance, so putting them back would even the numbers without then needing to create new art.

Sure, add the aqua tiger to alliance, as long as horde get another ravasaur-- either the ivory or tomato skins would be my choice. :3

You do know that the majority of them are right?
Edit: Was on my phone at work so I couldn't provide examples.

Would love an unretired version of this.

That's my favorite cat mount in the game and it was retired before I started playing. >_<

I feel you. I missed them as well (although my account is linked to have once had them due to a real life friend, sadly I possess none and neither do him or my boyfriend). I would love to see all of the former epic mounts make a come back some how; I really like how a lot of them look without the armor.

Aw, really? I never saw them, or perhaps just never noticed (not like I spent much time in Auberdine). I would have loved to see an Azzy mount. x)
