mount wipe

[henapartment]

Hi. I feel mounts should be harder to get. How about everyone can start with a standard smolderforge noob mount. A fast turtle maybe? And then make the rest of the mounts 75k honor. It will add just a bit of character to the server and will make mounts more significant.

Depending on how difficult it should be, maybe even make the PvP mounts for rank 14 also? Just some ideas. As another person said here, players need an objective to work to. The weapon fragments was a great idea.

Also, would it possible to remove class restrictions on mounts? It would be pretty cool.

This was actually the case on Smolderforge many years ago. Badges of Justice have become very inflated over the years--very much like money IRL. Many years ago, you often were rewarded "fragments" of a Badge that you had to turn 20 of into a quest NPC just to receive 1 single Badge of Justice...just to give you an idea of how inflated the currency has become. The voting page caused this to happen, as well as us continuing to add new content and new daily quests.

However, the prices did not scale very accordingly with the inflation over the years, so indeed many of the mounts remain a bit easy to obtain. Like why is the rocket mount 10 badges? It's a bit ridiculous, I totally agree. I suppose I really refrain from wiping unless absolutely necessary (gear rebalancing we've had to do in the past, or making Tier1-3 valuable to have for transmog, etc.)

So I definitely agree we should repossess many of these mounts and add value back to them. If we were to do so, I'd like to have a method in place to where people are refunded their cost. I feel any time I wipe things, people want to see my head on a spike and I get tickets complaining about missing items for years to come.
