Bring back the Shadowflame AOTC Mount from Heroic Fyrakk

I do not care about the achievement itself. But the mount from it should be obtainable till the end of the actual expansion.

i wholeheartedly agree, or at least use the trading post to make it easier to get missed aotc mounts, or bmah mounts, like the brutosaur, because letā€™s face it, we need a more fair way of getting the brutosaur mount than just camping the bmah and being the first to bid 9,999,999 gold

Except thatā€™s hardly ahead of the curve

Is it gone? I heard that AOTC was going away, but not the mount.

I remember people saying the SL AOTC mount was still available in Fated season. Maybe thatā€™s why?

How about ā€œBehind the Curveā€ achievement that gives you the dragon but it canā€™t fly?

Has the Brutosaur even been on the BMAH yet?

I used to follow a post that was tracking it and it hadnā€™t been seen once since it was removed

Looking on Wowhead, quite a few people are reporting sightings across different servers recently. May need to sort comments by new.

Will probably be on the vender next S4

It is unfortunate because in SL and BFA we had a lot of time to get the aotc up until prepatch. SL let you get the aotc mount during the fated season 4. It was especially nice for communities to do free runs so casuals could get it as well.
I guess that could be seen as ā€˜diminishingā€™ the difficulty but you could buy a carry anyways. It just seems random that blizz decided to make the mount unobtainable that soon when we had another season like the past recent expacs.

iā€™ve seen it there, and every time i do, some schmo already bid 9,999,999 gold on it

Itā€™s so lame. Thereā€™s literally no chance to get it if you have less than gold cap

and now, because of how short Dragonflight has been, Perky Pugs canā€™t even do their friendshipmount carries

Yep. Perky Pugs helped me get aotc and itā€™s sad they canā€™t do that now. I assume TWW will be set up the same but I hope it wonā€™t be. Obviously it was never a guaranteed thing, but it sucks that community events like the friendship mounts are pushed aside to tighten up the fomo and make it even harder to get things in time. The 4th season was a nice way to get another chance at it.

Iā€™ll never forget some of the idiots on this very forum during BFA who were arguing that the bruto price would ā€œgo down after it was removed from the vendor because everyone who would have wanted to buy it already would have, thus reducing demand.ā€ :crazy_face:

I had to point out to them that that is literally the opposite of the way basic economics works, but they just refused to understand. These people can vote and drive vehicles. Let that sink in.

Lol

Theyā€™re assuming all AH goblins had that kind of gold back then and no new AH goblins have cropped up since.

Yeah, itā€™s just super lame.

Honestly even if I had gold cap idk if I could justify paying that much for a mount, AH or not. Thatā€™s an insane amount of gold to pay for a mount

Thatā€™s the hilarity of it all. You donā€™t even need to factor in loot goblins into the equation to see the obvious truth. Itā€™s simple supply and demand.

When the bruto was removed from the vendor, itā€™s supply went from infinite to scarce. But the demand for it would still be high regardless. So youā€™re taking something with an infinite supply and a certain demand level with a fixed cost and then severely reducing its supply and unlocking its fixed price. What the hell did you think was gonna happen? :thinking:

The minimum 5mill price floor applied by Blizz likely made no real difference to the brutos eventual selling price on the bmah since it was always gonna go for well above that.

^ This is not wrong.

No. No it shouldnā€™t be. AOTC mounts are earned by being AOTC.

They even warn you before a season ends that itā€™s going away, had time to get it done. Could have spend gold and got a carry etc.
