wow When You Miss That Rare Aurelid Mount Drop Due to Misclick

[Starym 3,800]

 

Here's another tale of despair, as a player accidentally missed out on a relatively rare drop from fishing and lost a pretty cool mount!

Chinagus-Prime ran into the age-old misclick issue, with a couple of additional problems which made it fatal for these particular Deepstar Aurelid dreams. After a lot of time spent fishing near Hirukon, Chinagus actually got the Strange Goop item to drop, but unfortunately misclicked in a tired state. Double unfortunately they also didn't have auto loot active, and the triple lack of fortune that made this Aurelid disappear is the fact that fishing loot does NOT get sent to the mail if not picked up. The postmaster was not kind here.

Let's take a look at the event:

Here are some of the comments from Chinagus-Prime:

1/1500 mount, and I just misclick after hours of fishing, don’t think there’s anything I can do :( ... (On using auto loot) Going forward that would be best, This never happened before I was just tired from farming all night and made a dumb mistake In the ticket they actually recommend turning it off, cracked game XD ... Just looked at official post, fishing items, herbalism, mining do not get sent to mail sadly

And in case you wanted to take a look at the mount and how to get it, here's a video:

Not sure if this was a miss-type, but this is erroneous unless something changed with gathering professions in the new zone. I can't speak for fishing, but herbalism and mining do, in fact, get sent to your mailbox if you interact with the node, but are unable to loot the item because your bags are full. Many times over the years was I questing/farming with a full bag when I grabbed a node with no room for said object and after about 30 seconds of leaving the node I had a notification that I had received new mail and when i checked the herb or ore was there.

Hm, I havent had the situation myself but the poster claimed it's in an article by Blizz. I'll correct it anyway. And yea could be just fishing.
