    There are lots of cool mounts in World of Warcraft. There are also lots of different ways to earn or get them. So, which one was the toughest one for you to get? Did it feel rewarding to finally earn it, or was it a drop with a low drop rate?

    I think the hardest one for me was the Rusted Proto Drake (at level). It was still fun, and it felt very rewarding to finally get it.

    World of Warcraft has changed though, and you can still get these kinds of rewards even when you out level them now.

    Not as rewarding as I once thought that it would be. I think that this is just a trend with me though, and cannot let it get me down.

    It depends on your approach too, some mounts won't drop all the time as expected. I would say any mount that wouldn't drop 100% of the time are hard to get.

    Which mount was it? Why didn't it feel rewarding when you got it?

    Well, I wouldn't say "hard" in that case, just time consuming and maybe a little frustrating. Does WoW even have anything hard any more?

    I'm talking about the ones that were a challenge to earn, such as where raid achievements were required, or even if there was a tough grind for reputation. Something earned rather than a drop. WoW is notorious for some of its low drop rates.

    It depends on your choice of words, to the patient player they are time consuming since they wouldn't drop all of the time. The impatient player may think it's hard to get

    I guess that's fair enough. I just equate "hard" with challenge. I do understand the frustration of those low drop rates though. There are mounts that I farmed for years and never got. That Headless Horseman's mount still eludes me.

    Which one(s) have you been farming for ages but never got?

    I have to agree with your points. It's clear you are more vast at this game than I do I guess. I'm going to visit the game again sometime.

    I played World of Warcraft for a long time, and I still do once in a while. So, I know how annoying it can be when something refuses to drop. ;)

    My Battle.net needed to be updated, since I hadn't played for a while, so I took care of that the other day. I'll jump on World of Warcraft soon to see what's up. I miss it.

    I probably won't be farming for any new mounts any time soon though.

    I totally agree that when it comes to WoW nothing really seems hard anymore. Of course I can't speak for everybody but that's just my opinion.

    And, still, no one has mentioned any mounts, ha ha. Come on!

    I agree with you @clair02. They made everything easy button to lure in a new audience. Heck with the old fans, I guess. :(

    Which mounts did you find challenging to get (go as far back as you like). :)

    I like flying mounts the most, doesn't matter which one exactly. Overall mounts in WoW are generally fun.

    For me it was the the Ultramarine Quraji Battle Tank. If I recall correctly it
    took me over 160 solves.

    Same here, I really found that one hard to solve.

    Actually the only mount I've ever had was the basic one.
