Hi,
today im here to discuss this recent youtube video about the elusive Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur :-
This mount is of great use because of its handy auction house NPC and is one of the most important asset to have as a gold maker or even just as a player to buy consumables during your raid or dungeon or listing up your BoE’s or gathering materials while farming, the utility of this mount is just amazing
He states that back in BFA collecting 5m gold to get this mount could be equated to grinding out mounts like ashes or alar or invincible reins for the time that it can take for these mounts to drop and that its price was fair for the utility it gives.
Some speculations as to why this mount was removed are :-
-
It was too powerful a mount to have because if AH became more available in main cities
of the current expansion no one would visit cities like Stormwind/Orgrimmar etc. -
It would enable bots to easily undercut other players.
-
it was too expensive a mount to have in-game.
After its removal the mount was added to the rotation of the rare items that appear in the BMAH it was recently seen on the EU realm of Hyjal on March 10th of this year before which it was not seen over 6 months (which was apparently a bug and said to be fixed on March 10th which is the day it was last seen).
Since its last appearance on 10th March its not been seen on any Regions EU/US BMAH.
Some of the problems he mentions on getting the mount through the BMAH are :-
-
It Rarely spawns in any regions BMAH by rarely I means once in 6 months at this point
even if it did show on on your region we don’t know the odds of it showing up on your
specific realm. -
In the extremely unlikely chance of it showing up on your realm’s BMAH the average
player will have absolutely 0 chance to even Bid on this mount as players with multiple
gold cap who are camping this mount on not only on a single realm but in fact multiple
realms will instantly gold the mount. -
He also mentions communities that deal with trading services which provide you with
gold swaps incase the mount appears in your region but you don’t have gold on the
realm for that mount they will notify you of the mount and give u instant gold cap on that
realm while taking a fee for the gold cap provided on that realm the fee being a
Whopping 20 million gold on top of the 10 million needed to gold cap the mount,
which by no means is a reasonable amount for any casual player such as myself, so you’ll
be battling these services as they are battling among themselves to gold cap it before
one and another rendering your chance to bid as nil.
Suggestions to fix this disparity :-
-
Bring back the mount to its original vendor for the same price or more
-
Give a reskin of the mount so that the players who previously obtained don’t feel as bad
about it cause they will still have a unique appearance and the prestige of owning the
original unobtainable mount. -
Increase its chance of appearing on each realms BMAH.
-
Give the player base a completely new AH mount through a vendor or some meta
achievement or a rare drop chance from a rare mob etc. -
He also mentions an idea of adding attachments that u can buy off a vendor for eg a AH
attachment for 5m gold or more or a mailbox attachment for a similar price which can be
attached to any mount that u own.
This is a link to another post i made before explaining my predicament and why i wasnt able to ge the mount back in bfa - Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur - #27
I know these posts are long but i really wish the readers here to understand the situation not all players but many are in trying to achieve their goals in game, i really hope this cry for help doesn’t go unnoticed and that someone from the dev team can do something about this problem.
Thanks you.
