I cried a little when they took away my Plainswalking. I cried a little more, when epic Kodo mounts changed and became more generic a week before I could afford one. I cried even more when I realized that, no matter which mount I’d choose, I’d always look like an organ grinder monkey on a training bike except for my Kodo.
Time to shed some more virtual tears. Leading the Cavalry is the WoW achievement granting a nifty white drake to anyone collecting 50 unique mounts. Which is, and here comes the sadness, easiest for Dwarves, easier for Alliance, possible for Horde, and neigh impossible for Tauren.
You see, only mounts we can use count. Which means that without Wintersabers and by being barred from some mounts, we only have 44 total grindable mounts. If all RNG are in favor, Tauren can get 49 mounts. One short. Thanks Blizzard.
This, above all else, is what I mean when I speak of imbalanced and inconsiderate game design.

Do Taurens themselves not count as mounts? ducks
Seriously though, I can’t imagine having more than 4 mounts, personally. But I think WotLK offers more mounts, so it should be “easier” once that XPac is out.

Agreed, it’s not that hard once WotLK comes out. It’s just bad design to not balance it at the start. Blizzard is focusing more and more on buying one’s way into Achievements and upgrades while imbalancing cost and effort. I dislike that.
