I’m sorry, would the head or the tail be spinning madly to keep it flying in the air, or are we talking magical sparkling toots propelling it forwards every time you hit the surge button?

I don’t even need that much, I just kind of miss when sabers and wolves had rich histories and connections to the races of Azeroth and now we get stuff like a horse made of ice wearing a hat or something.

I was always broke and never had any cool rare special mounts. When Brewfest came out back in TBC, I got the level 40 slow riding ram mount because I could only use level 40 mounts. Now it’s my rarest mount in my collection lol.

I generally only use mounts that the character has a claim or relationship to. Like the grand wyvern or the venom hide. Kina earned the wyvern, and she raised the venom hide from a hatchling.
But when i’m feeling a little saucy, the thundering cloud serpent, and the grand yak when she needs to dress up. They just followed her home one day, you see…
I will probably buy this one too. I just hope they put the OG back on the vendor now. Both are pretty neat looking.
You can buy it with tokens, so it basically costs 1.2-ish million gold. They have the perfect excuse for it being this much money: the old one was 5 million, this can’t be $20, the equivalent of 200k-ish gold. It opens the door for them to add more stuff like this that lacks that history, though 
It’s why if I’m required to use a ground mount, I use the Quel’dorei Steed.
Otherwise I’m on the Proudmoore Gryphon because Vanndrel’s a citizen of Kul’Tiras (and it matches my mog).
My ground mount is my Magic Rooster, Ted. He is entirely lore compliant.
Ted started off life as a little rooster adopted by Norman, from Westfall’s Farmer Saldean.
Norman and Ted went adventuring through Westfall one day, heading to the coastline to catch some fish. On the way, they were chased down by a pair of Defias Thugs - a warlock and a mage. Norman was able to feint, but before he could grab Ted, the little rooster took a shadow bolt to the face. What luck though, as the Warlock crossed streams with the Mage and instead of ending up as fried chicken, Ted ended up morphing into a giant Magic Rooster, capable of death and destruction.

This is what most of the playerbase is now. Whales.
Mount/mog/achiev collectors etc.
This new one should have just been put up for Gold to begin with. People are buying out all the wow tokens to get it. Cut out the middle man.

I’m not a fan of the new Brutosaur. Why did they put that ugly helmet over his little face?
I wish they would stop putting all this gold nonsense on otherwise cool looking mounts, or make it customizable or something to where I can remove it?
They did the same with that trading post crocolisk.
I want a crocolisk that doesn’t look like Mr T.
I wouldn’t spend $90 on the Brutosaur because it’s ridiculous but at least give me the option of removing all the gold junk.

I often wonder who they design most of the new mounts and stuff for. And then I see like a hundred people using them, and I realize its not me.

Between SL, DF and TWW, my desire for ‘mount hunting’ is pretty much non existent. I cannot stand the majority of new mounts at this point.
I like the fact that they’re going out of their way to make things more than just “painted on” and 2 dimensional, but imo, they have a tendency to go way overboard now.
Not to mention, not everyone likes gold. Why not silver? Why not iron? The Earthen have all this cool Earthen-looking gear, yet it’s all gold. I’d like some less flashy gear pls.

Have you noticed the truly unique mounts are usually only the ones on the cash shop as well…

It’s clearly a cash grab. I admit to being super curious as to how many have already been sold. I’m seeing a ton of them, so it’s clearly selling.
I don’t mind cash grabs. Blizz is a business. I think this one bothers a lot of people, because they didn’t have the gold to purchase the one in game-a few years ago and have been begging for another one.
Blizz finally puts out another one, but it’s $90. I’m an adult with disposable income and could buy it, but I won’t cause I think it’s ugly.
Meanwhile, we’re sitting here in the midst of the 20th anniversary. We got a neat blue/white bird for the 20th anniversary.
So my question becomes - Why didn’t they make the Brutosaur the 20th anniversary mount? Obvious answer is screw the players, let’s make some cash off another Bruto.
That’s sour.

Yeh, it just doesnt feel good.
And the people that can afford it, or say stuff like “who cares”, its a terrible precedent to set and be a part of thats why.
A mount as expensive as special editions of the expansions, is wild. Especially when said expansion has been a buggy mess… Iunno, theres like a million reasons not to buy that thing, outside of cost.

I’m pretty indifferent I guess? Like, it is pretty ridiculous it’s $90 but people can do w/e they want with their money. Yet, I’m like oof I hope we don’t have something every year or two that’s like, limited special $100 mount guys and because the FOMO/addicted people that have to collect em all are an easy mark.
Yah, I think it’s way uglier than the original one lmao. 
A lot of the glammed out epic stuff is just super ugly to me and also the original one has turtle vendors which is way better.

Juicepion is right. We have to stop letting people spend their money.

It’s pretty cheap when you consider $100 is the new $20
