World of Warcraft Trading Post to Offer Previously Limited Mounts
Blizzard Entertainment has announced a shift in strategy regarding limited-availability promotional mounts in World of Warcraft. The company will now make previously exclusive mounts available to all players through the Trading Post, a monthly reward system introduced in Patch 10.1.5. This decision addresses player concerns about accessibility to these coveted cosmetic items.
Addressing Player Concerns
Recently, a limited promotional mount was released with less availability than anticipated, sparking discussion within the World of Warcraft community. Blizzard responded to this feedback, outlining a plan to ensure future access to such items. The initial intent was to offer these mounts as exclusive promotions, often tied to specific regions or events.
The Trading Post as a Solution
According to Blizzard, all new limited promotional mounts will eventually become available via the Trading Post. The Trading Post features a rotating selection of cosmetic rewards, including mounts, pets, and transmog items, purchased with Trader’s Tender. This currency is earned by completing monthly activities within the game. The Trading Post was designed as a system for players to acquire special cosmetic rewards.
Future Availability and Communication
Blizzard has committed to bringing each limited promotional mount to the Trading Post at a later date, making them accessible to all players. The company also stated that they will proactively communicate any deviations from this plan to the World of Warcraft community.
Rarity and Recent Mount
A particularly rare mount recently became available, with only 3,000 in existence. Discussions on Reddit suggest players are hopeful this mount, and others like it, will eventually appear in the Trading Post.
Looking Ahead
The Trading Post is updated monthly, with new rewards added regularly. Upcoming rewards for June, July, and August 2025 have already been previewed, though specific mount availability dates are not yet confirmed. This shift in policy demonstrates Blizzard’s commitment to providing broader access to cosmetic rewards within World of Warcraft.
