Please tell me it's a joke.

It's Blizzard.

Nope - the link is to a blue post on the US forums

If they are serious about this, I just seriously reconsidered ever fully updating my account.
I mean, COME ON. I know they've been "lazy" with models (i.e. they had to reuse old models out of lack of time and money), but this is literally lazy. Please, please, let it turn out to be a joke.
Even the way it's worded sounds like a troll!

Aw, new horsies. But if the Worgie gets hungry won't he be tempted to nibble on his horsie.

At least the never ending whine on the forums about how 'my mommie says it is unfair that the Horde have far more mounts than me' will end. Now can we we inter realm heirlooms and get rid of that whine too.

Ugh, to be honest I think the mounts are a little harsh.

I remember seeing some awesome concept art just before cataclysm of worgen mounts :/

Guess they scrapped that.

Ha ha ha ha

You heard it here first, folks. Worgen having a few terrible looking horses is a big enough reason to regret playing.

Lol, how about taking a 5 year old dragon, strapping armor on it and calling it a Gladiator mount? Now that was lazy.

I think it has more to do with the laziness of it, not the actual model itself.

Its to balance out the amount of mounts on each faction, nothing is getting removed, two mounts are getting added. That is all, stop making a big deal out of nothing.

Haha I see what you did there.

Tbh Blizzard cannot win in situations like this. They do one thing. People moan. They don't do that thing. Others moan

For some reason, I find this statement EXTREMELY ironic...

Blizzard did take a lot of time into making the quality work called "Worgen".


... owait...

Are you kidding me with those new worgen mounts? This is just act of laziness or something?

You just gave us horses with 4.2 for rbg achiev and now those NAKED horses?
I am mad, this game is becoming one big REUSED CRAP!

1 year ago I saw a graphics/arts of some mutated boar. And you didn't gave worgens those mounts. You gave them racial and now you though about this Unbalance and gave us naked horses.

I will only say that this only show us - How Blizzard became lazy in cataclysm and how they favor the horde. They are getting bunch of money everyday. What the hell they are doing in there??!! <snip>??

Edit: Removed profanity ~ Takralus

Found the concept art:

I dont think people wanted another horse, i think they wanted something different.

Might aswell buy the Stormwind one.

I was about to say that it's a shame valuable developer/artist time was wasted on something like this....but obviously no time whatsoever was spent on these mounts.

Again, the racial is not being removed, you don't have to use the horses, this are additions to the game, not replacements. Stop using this as a way to state how lazy blizzard is getting, there are other (and better) things that you can use instead of this, they wont take you seriously.
