Oh sweet horde get a dragon hawk that originally could only be obtained via 100 mount achievement, and alliance gets ANOTHER CRAPPY HIPPOGRYPH. So horde gets an easy dragonhawk and we get screwed with a ugly hippogryph that probably has the same terrible animations, that both factions can already get? Im not seeing how this makes any sense in fairness. First the brewfest kodo change and now this?

It's funny you are complaining about how the horde get a cool hawkstrider and alliance gets a lame horse. Because the horde are all complaining about how they get a hawkstrider which makes having the 100 mount reward less special.
Kind of like how when they announced Ulduar, people complained that it wasn't Grim Batol or Uldum.
Or when they announced the new druid forms, people complained that there weren't any tree or boomkin forms, or that the new forms didn't look the way they wanted them too.
Or when they announced the new BG, people complained that it wasn't enough like old-school AV. And that it was too much like AV. And that it had vehicles. And that it wasn't Crater of Azshara. And that it had pvp in it.
Maybe, people will complain no matter what Blizzard does? I mean, OP, what do you want? Did you want a transparent ice proto drake instead? Then what to we tell the people who complain that it has nothing to do with the Argent Tournament and shouldn't have been the mount? What about the people who complain that there are too many dumb proto drakes already, and that they are ugly?
I guess my point is, everyone shut the f&%$ up with your dumb whining about a video game.

At least the Alliance Dragonhawk will be unique...while all the ones that grinded 100 mounts for the red dragonhawk will get to fly next to people on dragonhawks after a few weeks of grinding tokens.

hippogryphs are the Cadillac of mounts, they feel like sporty cars unlike the huge hulking proto drakes.

The Horde can earn a flying mount that represents the Horde. The Alliance can earn a flying mount that represents the Alliance.
If an imbalance exists somewhere, it's not in these simple facts.
I was put in a round room
And told to stand in the corner...

Q u o t e: Good for you we can already get one from the tournament, give us something at least original then please.
A good chunk of the mounts in game are recolors, and all are based off a set of models, such as horse, dragon, etc. Why complain about originality now?
