Glory of the Wut?
First off, I would like to say I support this change that was posted a few days ago regarding Glory of the Raider and Heroic: Glory of the Raider.
When 3.1 goes live, the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” are being removed. These achievements will still be active, however, players will no longer receive the Plagued Proto-Drake or Black Proto-Drake for completing them. Similar to our decision to remove the Amani War Bear from Zul’Aman, the goal is to ensure that such mounts retain a degree of rarity in the game; and with raids progressing into Ulduar in patch 3.1, we feel obtaining the rewards for “Glory of the Raider” and “Heroic: Glory of the Raider” would be somewhat trivialized. For this reason we will be offering new fast mounts (310 speed) as rewards for completing select achievements associated with 10 and 25-player Ulduar.

Now, I post that I do not support this change. Wait what? How can I support and not support this change? Well, that is because I am seeing it from both sides. From one standpoint, I can see that this change would make those who have already completed it feel special, if not have their ego inflated even more. That is the only point that I give towards this change though. Sure, the people who have gotten these drakes right now may feel special now that they are going to be exclusive, but think about it Blizzard Devs, won’t they also be the same ones getting the new drakes in Ulduar too?
