I saw an article today while reading articles, which made me feel that my cognition was being rubbed on the ground. The title of the post is "Is the mount sharing in World of Warcraft Classic a good thing or a bad thing?" At first, I thought it might be thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, but after reading the content of the post, I found out that someone would criticize the mount sharing function in World of Warcraft WLK Classic. So why does the player think it is a bad thing?



Because a mount sharing function has been added to the World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server, this function is easy to understand. If character A has a mount under your account, character B will also have a mount. So as long as the character meets the riding requirements of the mount, it can be used directly. The existence of this function can actually greatly reduce the difficulty of players training other characters, just like heirlooms, but the player said that this function is the official function to make players spend more money.



There is indeed nothing wrong with the player's previous analysis. For example, if you have a phoenix, you have everything else, so you can save backpack space. Of course, another thing that the player did not mention is that you can save a lot of G coins. Even buying mounts from NPCs is not cheap, especially when novice players reach the first mount level requirement. How many novice players have enough G coins to learn riding and buy mounts?

Therefore, if you want to learn riding skills and buy mounts at the same time, you will most likely need to spend money. If you don't spend money, you will have to spend a long time to get a mount and learn riding skills. Therefore, when the farmer and worker played for the first time, it took a long time to get a mount after reaching the level that can get a mount. However, with the mount sharing function, the overall burden of the players is actually reduced a lot. They only need to learn riding skills without purchasing mounts.



Many high-level mounts require master riding skills to be used, and the price of master riding skills (expert riding skills) varies in different situations, but in most cases it is 5000G coins. After all, some may have discounts and the price is above 3000G coins, which is indeed a bit expensive for most players, so the player thinks that he is trying to make money from players, but what the farmer wants to say is why do you have to choose riding skills when there are mounts? Why can't you use cheaper mounts?



However, there is a very important point that players may have forgotten. Mounts are an important source of income for many players and studios, especially some top-quality mounts, which are very expensive in World of Warcraft WLK Classic and TBC Classic. For example, the phoenix. Under normal circumstances, the price of a phoenix in each group can be auctioned for at least 50,000 G coins. In the early days, the price of a phoenix was as high as hundreds of thousands. It is definitely an important source of income for studios and players.

However, after sharing, it is a good thing for the players, but not for Pai Gu Ren and the studio because the rarity of the mount has decreased. Players will not buy a second mount if they have one character. So if players only buy each mount once, it will reduce the income source for Pai Gu Ren. After all, many players who play with a small account will let the small account get BIS equipment and top-quality equipment, so the studio took advantage of this and started to harvest players crazily.



The addition of a pet sharing function in the World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server is definitely a change that is beneficial to players. At least players only need to pay for the G-coins used to learn riding skills in the game without having to pay the high cost of purchasing mounts, especially top-quality mounts that cost thousands of G-coins at a minimum and tens of thousands of G-coins at the most expensive, and some even cost over 100,000. So I believe that players will like this function, but for studios and people who work with them, of course they will just criticize this function, after all, it affects their financial resources.
