Drop Rate Debate
Alright, look, Gourra, first of all, the armory only has a few drop rates that it rounds to. It's either 1-2, 3-14, 15-24, 25-50, 51-99, or 100. And, I dare you to prove me wrong. If something has a lower drop rate than 1%, it just rounds to "1-2%." Secondly, let's think about this logically. Look at the facts. The item was released with the rest of Tempest Keep in January, 2007. The first drop (not including Ezra recieving it from Blizz) was on May 31st, 07. It just takes common sense to realise that in 5 months, Kael'Thas was killed at least 100 times by everyone on every server combined... More like 1,000 plus! That disproves this drop rate completely. Even a beginner WoW player could read those facts and understand it. Clear as crystal, the drop rate has to be below 1%, so please do not repost the drop rate on the article page. Thank you.

Ezra
I felt like adding a link to the Phoenix Story with Ezra, i hope it's ok to add, if not then atleast as trivia? 13:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Random comment
I heard that besides Ezra only 3 people have ever gotten one of these. Can that be confirmed? Wakata 01:05, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You'll have to ask on the official forums, as this can't really be answered here (with accuracy) 04:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Is this mount still in the game?
My guildies keep insisting it's not; I keep saying it is, and the only mounts removed have been the Zul Aman mounts. Anyone know? And could the wiki be updated to STATE that?

All the discussion I've ever found on this mount centers on Ezra. Ok, the poor kid died from cancer, he got the mount he wanted, however, can we get some updated info on the mount, please? Some of us do want to know if it's still possible to get the mount.
 * Yes, it's still in, it's just an incredibly rare drop from a boss that can only be killed once a week that is no longer being killed hundreds of times a week. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:45, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Umm it says on this page that the drop rate is 1-2%. I'm deleting that becasue it is a false statement. the drop rate is far below that. Zzzach467 (talk) 20:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have proof of that, or is that just your impression? Keep in mind that he's not exactly being killed particularly often anymore, which means that any drops from him at all will be rare - making the rarest of those even rarer by extension. Unless you have evidence that the drop rate is lower than that, leave it as is. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 09:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Want It!
Not particularly useful for me to say, but I saw someone showing off on this mount in Dala today and I have to say its the sexiest flying mount I've seen to date lol. --Lyco (talk) 02:53, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
