Q u o t e:Valnoth
Guys, there is a reason the motorcycle is on vendors for 5 gold. We're trying to hammer out all of the bugs before declaring it ready for prime time.
The motorcycle is intended to be a FUN mount that lets you and a buddy cruise around the world in style. It will be an engineering crafted item that will not require engineering to own/drive.
Thanks for the feedback/bugs. Keep 'em coming.
Making the Chopper BoE is a horrible, HORRIBLE idea. Lets examine why . . . .
First off all, Jon LeCraft just said this on the BlizzCast:
Q u o t e:
Jon LeCraft: Yes, definitely. And, I just want to say with Engineering you know; also we’re going to try do a bunch of silly stuff too. I mean that’s pretty much a primary objective on Engineering.

And the official Engineering webpage says:
Q u o t e:
Engineering is a very fun and creative Profession. You can create all kinds of wacky things that are fun to use and also entertain and amaze other players.

The fact of the matter is, Engineering was meant to be the fun mechanical profession. We amaze others with our machinery. As such, crafting and using MECHANICAL MOUNTS IS AN ENGINEERING TRADEMARK. What's the point of being a grease monkey if every freaking person on your server has your amazing mechanical mount?
And lets make something clear ----- THIS IS NOT A PROFIT MAKING PATTERN. Do people want it? Sure. But when was the last time that you paid out of the noes to an Enchanter for a combine? Oh that's right, you probably got it from a guildie --- or you paid a small tip. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THIS MOUNT. Guildies will get it for free, and everyone else will shop around until they find an Engineer that will do it for next to nothing. (5g tips incoming.....)
Stop giving our schematics away! The Choppa should scream "I'm an Engineer", not "lol I got my guildie friend to make me one!"
Make. The. Mount. B.O.P.
(Was it not enough for you to give a slew of Engineering items to the card game? Must you *also* give our mechanical mounts away??)
