why do that when buying carries is now considered to be one of the greatest achievements in game
Well isn’t the next raid tier opening in like 3 weeks? I would imagine the window is closing as people start to take time off before the next season starts.
Update - wow I completely misread the topic. I thought the OP was asking about 9.1 AOTC, not the upcoming 9.2. In that case, those that said wait until later in the season are 100% correct.
As has been mentioned, only goobers buy aotc early in the tier. Always best to wait for at least a few months or more into the patch. If you pay anything more than 100k you’re getting ripped off.
Good time as any to get into a raiding guild and save your gold. That 200k gold your spending on boosts could buy two max legendaries and a lot of consumables on my server.
Funny how there is so many people bashing boosting then you see a thread asking about pricing.

Usually, there’s a “Friendship” group that gives out free AOTC mount runs. I’d say about a few weeks after Mythic opens up, and the carry group is sufficiently geared, we’ll start seeing advertisements for these runs.
Honestly, with a decently geared toon you can pug clear groups toward the end of a patch/expansion and get the mount for free. The amount of effort you’re putting into getting the gold to pay for a carry is more effort than it takes to gear and learn fights.
Why buy? Its more fun to get it the old fashioned way
Because I’m not a raider, I’m a mount collector and it’s not fun to get it the old fashion way.
To me, and I know others disagree, I don’t see this any differently then saying “I hate engineering” and buying a bunch of crafted mounts from an engineer.

It’s an ugly mount imo. I’ll get it through raiding but it’s an ugly mount. If you want to use your gold to buy it, knock yourself out and go for it.

Oh I think it’s hideous but it’s also a +1.

Best time to buy it is by earning it

I’m so happy the AOTC mount is ugly and boring this time around. Now I don’t have to spend all my gold for somebody to get it for me!
For real though. What were they thinking with that design? Nobody is going to get excited about earning that…
Probably around 3-4 months before the expansion ends.
At the end they’ll spike up a little because it’s “last call” and the market for it is limited.
yup, I usually get mine for 25k
