Due to an error, a special WoW mount was briefly easy to obtain. Blizzard has now fixed this – and the community is angry.
The patch 7.3.2 for World of Warcraft basically brought few new features. The focus was on the missing game files for the upcoming raid Antorus, the Burning Throne. However, there were also some undocumented changes that Blizzard kept quiet about.
One of these changes allowed the raid boss Gul’dan in the Nightwell to drop a special mount: “Living Infernal Core”. This mount was supposed to be available only at normal difficulty and above. After the 7.3.2 update, however, numerous players reported that the infernal beast was also available on the Looking for Raid difficulty (LFR).
A hotfix last night (26.10.2017) has now resolved this error. The “Living Infernal Core” can no longer be obtained from Gul’dan in LFR mode.
The community is disappointed and partly angry about this. Many assumed that this was a planned feature and now envy the players who farmed Gul’dan with many characters within the two days. “Equal rights for all” is being demanded. Either the hotfix should be reverted or the mount should be taken away from LFR players.
Cortyn says: Honestly, I don’t see at all how players could have realized that this was a bug. It could very well have been that Blizzard relaxed the restrictions for the Living Infernal Core afterwards.
It is of course frustrating for those who do not have time for “real” raids and now have to do without the mount again.
Have you grabbed the Living Infernal Core yet?
