Big Love Rocket Drop rate bug?

The armory states that the mount has a 1%-2% drop rate. This is obviously not true and should be looked into. With the current drop rate, only 1-3 people will obtain the mount within the 2 week period. That is just way too low.

To everyone that is going to say "rare is rare", "rng is rng":
Why would every single mount in the game be a 1-2% drop rate, but then all the sudden blizzard decides that a mount that drops from a boss that is only killable for 2 weeks is going to be a 1/5000 drop chance? It makes no sense AT ALL.

I really hope this ISSUE is not ignored this year, a lot of people have been farming this mount for 8+ hrs a day with no luck. It is not too late to fix this blizzard.

The drop rate for this mount is indeed lower than 1-2% and that is intentional. We are okay with the number it is at right now and will continue to see how things for this event.
