WoW: Did Blizzard think ahead? Gambling with hand mounts not possible

September 16, 2021

The new "Hand Mounts" from WoW Shadowlands Patch 9.1 are hot due to their appearance and fresh model. They also have a unique mount special animation that allows you to play Rock, Scissors, Paper. So every time you press the space bar, the hand mounts randomly form a rock, scissors, or flat hand for paper just like the old familiar game.

This is the easiest way to decide things in Real Life. WoW players thought so too and tested it immediately. However, they quickly discovered that the animations don't display the same on players' screens. The animations differ from client to client.

There's a reason for that. Because players had been looking forward to deciding the loot awards and other activities in WoW (now buy 14,99 € )

with a game of rock, scissors, paper. On reddit, players are disappointed, for example, that there is thus no way to pull off a new type of gold deathrolls. Here, the developers have already put a stop to illegal rock-scissors-paper clubs in Goldhain in advance.

Or was it just a coincidence after all? I wonder if Blizzard really wanted to put a stop to the gambling side of the game here. Or maybe the different animations from client to client just happened by chance and the developers didn't have gambling in mind. What do you think is true? Write us in the comments.
