Move account-wide mounts to another Battle.net
Hello there guys.
Back in the day I used to play on an account where I had an Obsidian Nightwing as an award for recruiting one of my friends.
I've always been obsessed with an idea to have it on the account I currently play without having to find someone to recruit.
If you want to do the same thing, you should:
1. Make sure both Battle.net accounts belong to you. Let's say Account A is the account with the desired mount, and Account B is the destination account.
2. Level a character to level 20 on Account A (since you're able to play up to level 20 without having to subscribe)
3. Learn the riding skill and mount up using the desirable mount (Obsidian Nightwing, Zhevra, X-53 Touring Rocket or such)
4. Log out while mounted.
5. Contact Battle.net support (I did it with Live Chat) and ask to have your WoW account moved under a different Battle.net license (Account B)
6. When done, log into Account B with the character you leveled and mounted up with.
Note that I'm talking about achievement-earned mounts, such as RaF mounts. Pretty sure it can't be used to dupe Ashes of Al'ar and other 'common' mounts.

As far as I know wow accounts are bound to your battle.net account and even though you own both account you can't have them transfered since that would make you able to sell accounts and what not. Also your characters mounts are bound to b.net account A and not to the character. Unless you have proof I don't believe that staying on the mount lets you keep it.

Pretty sure you can have WoW licenses moved from one B.net account to another as long as they're both under the same name.

Transferring WoW accounts between different battle.net accounts has ALWAYS been possible as long as both battle.net accounts are owned by the same person, you have to provide your ID for it to happen

Check the achievement date.
Here's the screenshot of the GM's reply:

Greetings!
As a result of our live chat discussion, I have moved your game accounts to ****@gmail.com. They are now accessible under the ****@gmail.com battle.net account.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide any more proof because I didn't expect it to work and didn't think about posting it here in case of success.
However, it turned out to be working perfectly, and I would be happy if I could share more information.
I don't have a single reason to trick people into thinking that it works in spite of it being rubbish, I'm a simple player and a long-time ownedcore user sharing my finds.

Screen shots show nothing, both accounts need to be under the same last name.

I perfectly understand, I just don't have an idea how I can prove that there were 2 separate accounts up until today's afternoon.

Move account-wide mounts to another Battle.net
Grrrr, trying so hard to prove I was right!
I relaunched the live chat and had another talk with a GM, hope this means anything to you guys.

FURTHERMORE, I was AMAZINGLY surprised to see that the Obsidian Nightwing indeed remained on the initial account.
That being said, I now have them on BOTH battle.net accounts and might try to replicate the exploit a bit later, got no time to level another toon to 20 now.

Most likely, they wouldn't.
Specifically in this case it would not work anyway since you have to be able to log in to mount up.
I do believe that the fact your character is mounted tricks the game to think that the mount does belong to your collection.

Indeed not.
Tried several times before:
Mount Ashes of Alar on lvl 100 character on Acc#1, logoff.
Xfer the lvl 100 "mounted" character to Acc#2 (Same 2nd name obviously)
When logged in on Acc#2, the character is still mounted on Ashes of Alar (aka have the buff), but the mount is not in the mounts collection!
On dismount, its gone!
The only viable method so far is the obvious - if the mounts are present as items in the character inventory:

Please note that in the original post I stated that this might only work with achievement-earned mounts.
