oh god, I should downrate myself for not even noticing the poster's name.

thanks Maz.

I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
I just rapidly read the responses and rarely look at the names of posters.

well, I much prefer Cynyck...

and no, no hockey for me.

After losing it many many times I finally got the ZA mount yesterday. Would have gotten it way earlier but very few people I know are playing right now so I couldn't assemble a full group of my own. Winning it felt really good because I had already begun to dread that I would somehow manage to never own it.

I kind of disagree. I admit that you have a good point there. It certainly is not a bad thing if you feel a special connection to the character you play most.
But on the other hand the reason Blizzard is doing this is taking away some of the reservations people have when it comes to switching their main. And I have to say that is a very good reason in my book. I'm a completionist. Before this change I would never have considered changing my main. For me to feel comfortable with the new character he/she would have to earn every mount/pet/achievement/FoS my old character already has. Even if that was possible it would mean a huge time investment to achieve things I have already done in the past. So I for one really dig this.

And specially things like the Raven Lord/the Molten Front pet I don't ever EVER want to farm again.

In the end I would rather build the connection with my main via him/her having the best gear of all my characters or (if you're into RP) creating a really awesome backstory (NOT Mary Sue please) or something like that.

I agree with Tellaria here. Since I started, my warlock was my main and had all the pets/mounts/titles/etc. When cata hit, I didn't like what they did with warlocks at all - the whole bane/curse/dot/boom thing I find more annoying than fun - but none of my other toons ever really had any "goodies" to speak of, and I had no desire to go re-grind everything again so my "main" through this entire expansion has been running around with a dozen or so of the basic mounts and whatever handful of pets she happened upon.

And then there's stuff like, the druid I leveled and ran at 85 for, oh, 2 weeks or so lucked into stonecore mount. Great. The druid. The one who never uses mounts. And one of my others - don't even remember which - got the Phoenix hatchling - which I don't think I've ever used because I'm rarely on that toon.

I think the same goes for really grindy stuff like the Green Proto, Polar bear (which I have *still* never gotten), Netherwings & Talbuks . . .I'm just simply not going to do all that stuff 10, 11, or 20 times.

If all my people had all the stuff I worked for (or lucked into) available to them, honestly I'd probably be more inclined to play them more, thus playing the game more. Which, I would assume is Blizzard's goal.
