To be fair, the Goblin mounts were pretty terrible too. They were different, sure. But they still look like crap.

Yeah, the gobby trike is very rad. I love it. All of my Horde toons have it, even though I don't use it all the time.
Anyway, as for recycling... I thought it was bad when they decided to "revamp" the darkmoon fair. At the time I thought that was just another poor recycling effort, probably the worst one. It's not like there's a whole lot new going on. Sure there is some new gear to be had, and a new "permanent" location. But it's still the same old fair that's been in game since vanilla. It's like recycling the last thing they could recycle. Or so I thought.
Then they do this. Horses for worgen. I know the actual reason for it was just to even the number of mounts available between horde and alliance. But gimme a break. Plain simple horses that have been in game for years? This is just about the ultimate lazy recycling effort.
Blizzard has lost my business permanently. I'm tired of paying for crap that's been out for 6 years and labeled as "new".

Post count just means you spend too much time reading and not enough playing.

A much better Worgen mount would have been an infected horse but that would have required a new model.

The intention with the new mounts was just to honor player concerns about achievements and even up the mount totals between the alliance and the horde. It’s something people had been requesting since the release of Cataclysm, so we’re evening up the numbers by giving the Alliance some additional mounts to add to their totals.
The Worgen racial mount is Running Wild. These are just some extra horses, for your horse needs. Perhaps the blog should have been titled 'New Gilnean Faction Mount'? Or maybe just 'Wyld Stallyns'? We may actually edit the blog to clarify why these mounts were added. To be clear, it’s not because we think worgen look their awesomest riding horses.
The intention wasn't really to hype this up, so much as to simply inform and reduce confusion. Our thought was, rather than let these be introduced without any context via data-mining, that it seemed like a better idea to introduce them ourselves with a bit of context.
[...] There was some miscommunication regarding the initial reason why these mounts were added. After talking with the devs again these mounts are actually being added because they already happened to be available and we thought it’d be nice to make them able to be purchased and ridden. Which is unfortunately quite a bit different than how we understood and framed the blog.
Their existence also allows us to give players that faction change to Worgen something in exchange for their old racial mount. Right now if you faction change to Worgen you lose your previous home-faction mounts, and so we’re also trying to correct that with this change.

Wow are people pissed, so we're sending you a message to try to fix things. We released these new mounts to even the number of mounts on both sides. Unfortunately, our art team spent less time on the new models than the community team did drafting the announcement. Please don't be mad but praise us for balancing Alliance's number of mounts.
fixed.

This, in spades.
Blizzard got busted once again, being completely lazy and retarded, and now they are backpedaling, as usual.
Pathetic really.

At this point, I don't think it matters what they say anymore, as you plan on finding a way to negatively interpret it anyway. I'm just wondering, why even bother? I assume it's just because you get to see your post count go up, but I could be wrong. I do find it slightly entertaining to be honest.
