WOW: Some 310% drakes being removed

p>On patch 3.1 that is on PTR, a few of the achievements that awards the 310% protodrake mount is getting changed to NOT award the mount anymore. Blizz reasoning was that when Uld goes live, Uld geared players could go back to older raid content and wipe them out more easily, making those 310% mount too easy to get.

IMO that is major bullshit. There are more casual and non raiders than hard core raiders in any realms and by taking the mount out, they are basically awarding those hard core raiders who probably spent an unhelathy amount of time playing while the rest of us who can't play that much are still trying to get it.

If anything, this change would only encourage those who still don't have it to play more, to the point of relying on energy bar and drinks, using diaper to skip bathroom break, and no sleep pills to stay awake and hit as many raids as possible.

Right now in PTR forum there are many upset people about this change and some suggested leaving in mount but at the standard 280% instead of the supposedly exclusive and hard to obtain wow gold.
Raiding isn't the issue. Casual players are not inherently "less skilled" or "less worthy". They simply cannot afford to dedicate a block of four solid hours or more per raid each and every time they try to do something in game. So really, this is a non-issue, but I observe as usual that people jump at any opportunity they can to be an anonymous dickhole.

Condolences to those who are losing mounts because of this idiocy. *shrug* They can take the black and red drakes away for all I care, just leave the violet one and then the "hard core raiders" can bitch some more.
