Thought you all would like to see the thing in-game :p
Some notes about it:
-Mountspecial does nothing unusual.
-The mount randomly shoots up in the air during as part of its ground idle animation.
-The bobblehead doll on the dashboard dances and bobs its head in flight :D
-Lots of moving parts. Particle effects from the back of the jets. Blue jet flames while in flight. Youtube quality doesn't do this mount any justice - this is quite impressive, visually.

freakin awesome.
I am a druid, does that make my opinion worth more or less? Is my arena rating too low? Have I not raided enough? Which thing will you choose to discount MY opinion? Cyclone perhaps?

Good bye jewelcrafting.
Q u o t e: I'm not customer service. I'm a community manager.
You don't feel manageable yet, I'm going to continue talking about ghosts and wizards until you do.

Q u o t e: Engineers have officially recieved the largest buff to any class, race, or profession.
They're still going to complain...
How exactly does this improve the profession? Yes its cool, but mounts are available by the truckload everywhere you turn. You can't even sell it. All it is is...cool. Nothing more.
The profession is still as broken as it was before.

Engineering always has been and always will be a gimmick profession.

Q u o t e: We deserve it.
360-375 is on average about ~100g per skill point.
I think its simply amazing. They couldn't have made it any better IMO.
Hey that's about how much it cost me to get from 360-375 for blacksmithing! 15-18g per felsteel bar, need 8 bars per point. and i only have 1 item i will ever use.

Q u o t e: Engineering is not like other professions.
Which is most of the problem. Yes, I'm nutting myself over this mount. I'll finally be able to be unique (we have like maybe 4 375 engineers on my server).
But it doesn't fix the profession in any way. Its still the same super expensive, selfish (you can't sell anything of real value), small (we have the least recipes of any profession) profession its always been.

Oh, I get what Engineering is about. Which is how I know, along with many others, just how broken it really is. A profession can certainly be considered broken when you can count the number of people on your entire server who maxed it on one hand.
