WoW - the world of military craft, the most popular multiplayer role-playing game of this millennium. The total online players at certain times exceeded ten million people from all over the world. Constantly updated and offering players ever new challenges, this game has been and remains universally recognized as the best. Collecting mounts - riding vehicles - is just one of the few activities that the game has to offer, but very popular among players.
Raids in WoW
At the beginning of its existence, the game was much less rich. Raids - epic battles with the bosses of entire armies of players, were more complex, rare and took much more time than now. With the development of the game, developers had to offer players more and more rewards, add items and skills. Horse-drawn vehicles obtained as boss loots have become one of these innovations. Previously, all such mounts were rewarded only by the luckiest ones, dropping out of bosses with an extremely small probability of 1-3%, but with the development of the game, the developers changed their approach.
Raid difficulty levels
For the first time, new difficulty levels for raids were introduced in the third and most popular expansion, The Wrath of the Lich King. Then, as an experiment, the creators of the game added to the raid bosses of Ulduar, the latter at that time in terms of the complexity of the raid, certain conditions, by fulfilling which the players increased the complexity of the boss and improved the loot falling from him. But since extremely difficult battles were not interesting for everyone to emphasize the importance of those players who coped with them, the developers decided to encourage gamers. A similar method was the guaranteed loss of a mount from a boss killed at maximum difficulty. The players liked this approach, and the developers went further - they divided the level of difficulty of the raids in addition to "normal" and "heroic".
WoW - "Cataclysm"
In the fourth expansion for WoW, Cataclysm, the creators of the game adhered to the same concept. The final boss of the expansion, the Dragon Deathwing, was also available in various difficulty settings. Defeating him, the players are guaranteed to receive a servant of the keeper of life. This is a riding dragon, similar in form to the popular character of the game - Alexstrasza. The vehicle had one for all the players in the raid, so only those who devoted a lot of time to killing the boss received it. There was no question about how to get a servant of the keeper of life. You just had to defeat the boss and be lucky enough for the dragon to go to you.
Game progression
However, the game does not stand still. Characters gain more power. Now Deathwing alone can defeat any player of the highest level. Therefore, in order to leave the servant of the keeper of life in the game, but not to give it to everyone, the developers simply removed her guaranteed loss, leaving a chance of receiving about 2-3%. Now, to get it, you just need to hope for luck.
However, there is an alternative way to get a servant of the keeper of life - on the black market. The probability of its appearance there is extremely small, and the price will be prohibitive. But you can try your luck.
