Every World of Warcraft player with a Twitch account and an internet connection will soon be able to earn one of the rarest mounts in the game's history, but the jury is still out on whether that's a good thing.
The mount in question is the Feldrake, which Blizzard recently confirmed would be obtainable from November 28-30 as part of the game's first-ever Twitch Drop campaign. To earn it, players just have to link their Battle.net and Twitch accounts and watch four hours of qualifying WoW: Dragonflight-related content on the streaming platform.
Until yesterday, some players have been willing to pay thousands of real-world dollars for the Feldrake mount.
One might not expect players to be upset about being able to earn free in-game rewards, and while many players are happy about the Feldrake, more than a few players are less than thrilled with the promotion. The reason? The Feldrake isn't a new mount made just for the purpose of Twitch Drops. It was once previously available only to those who obtained a rare card as part of the now-defunct World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, effectively making the mount a major in-game status symbol. Players who have the card can input the 25-digit-code found on it and unlock in-game rewards, and even though the card game is out of print, the codes still work to this day.
