Greetings Gladiators!

Gladiator mounts have long served as one of the most prestigious rewards in all of World of Warcraft. This is due to the considerable time, effort, and skill required to earn one. In the past, we felt that prestige should be reserved to the character that earned a Gladiator mount, as this best demonstrated your expertise with that particular class.

Shadowlands Season 1 will be the 30th PvP season in World of Warcraft, and a lot has changed over that time. Not only has the game evolved with the introduction of new classes or changes to existing ones, but players’ preferences have often evolved with regard to the class they like to play most.

So, beginning in Shadowlands, all Gladiator mounts, including those from previous seasons, can be used by all characters across the account the mount was earned on.

Thank you for playing and we’ll see you in the Arena!

Comment by KelrasRemovedComment by Turowaiit's about time!

Not that I will probably ever own one :(Comment by kaleestrazaSick, will never benefit from it but it's a good changeComment by ZygosF$@&ING FINALLY!Comment by Tomtaurenit's about time!

Not that I will probably ever own one :(Comment by Ruenan94Really nice change for the 0.5% :DComment by LucipurrStill waiting for the ability to use the Rated PvP titles I EARNED to be accessible from any of my characters, and not just the ONE character I earned it on...Comment by MelilithiaI don't own one, but am happy for the people who do. Grats!Comment by TheRedRogueDoesn't affect me, but it is definitely the right thing to do. I get the prestige factor associated with the mounts, but there are probably tons of top level PvPers that have swapped mains for certain seasons, so it is pretty lame that you can't use something you obviously earned on a different character.

Now, the selfish part of me wants them to do that for the gold challenge mode portals from WoD. xDComment by deathlavitzWhy were they not beforehand? It may be 11 years later but at least Blizzard if finally seeing the light.Comment by SeleriGreat change. They should make the old PvP titles account wide as well.Comment by ArchimtirosThat's a nice change for the 5 people with more than one Gladiator mount. :)Comment by jmxdWhy were they not beforehand?Comment by Xaros1337This is awesome. Can we apply this same line of thinking to MoP challenge mode sets? I don't play the class I earned it on anymore...Comment by CualGreat cosmetic change for the top 0.05% of the player base. But when it comes to actual meaningful changes that affect gameplay, nah better give it another 11 years. Vast majority of people that obtained gladiator mounts before BFA, given that BFA ones are the easiest ones to get by far, would still be playing the character they went for and got their sweet rides either way.Comment by HappiiHow about adding a pve mount for the top raiders that goes away with each new raid? and make it against tos to sell. Thank youComment by couchpotato2013Isn’t there an argument that had this system been in the game since account-wide mount implementation (mop i believe), or even if there was an account-wide mount tab for tbc, that people who previously had multiple alts qualified for glad mounts/rank 1s not count against the total or have an impact on the ladder? Meaning that if you had character A at 2800, and 2-3 other characters hovering around 2400-2500, the alts would not have counted against the % total of the population. Thus meaning people that people who previously were near the cut off, could have qualified for the mounts if this upcoming shadowlands change was something they used at the onset. Not even counting the bfa glad mount change of getting 2400 in 3s and winning X number of games. Just going off the old systems. But then again, had there been fewer characters qualified to earn the mount (because they already earned it on a higher main) then the absolute numbers in that certain % cut off would be indeed smaller.Comment by djinjinok this is a very very bad Change, let me explain why…
the people who wanna go for the Gladiator Mounts will just play the most broken classes (the current meta) and that means they will not play their main classes. instead they are going to play the current meta classes and that is f..king disgusting!
personally i wanna see if a warlock or a dh sits on the current Gladiator Mounts... or actually people on their main classes!
please Blizzard dont do this change think about it please!
