It has to be for the panic token purchases, right? I can’t think of a reason they’d remove this other than greed.

This might just be my pessimism but I can’t imagine any other reason for them to do this other than pressuring people into buying wow tokens to convert to gold to get the mount before its gone.

Yeah. The intent is extremely questionable when they could have explained why it was being removed from the get go.

Oh, what was their official explanation for why they’re doing this?
One of the slightly less conspiratorial takes I’ve read is that the intent is to introduce a new AH mount in Shadowlands so they can basically control the price and continue to manipulate goldsinks. Let alone whatever they may or may not care about the AH vendor.
No explanation. They just stated that it was being removed and left it at that.
The most they said was, “Like other dinosaurs, AH Boi is going down.” Not exact wording.
Limited time content is almost inherently malicious, and this is no exception.

Oh Blizzard, you always know the right moments to try to crack jokes /s
I guess they know we have phones now so they think we can afford however many hundreds of dollars worth of tokens this would cost.
I just don’t… they’re not removing any of the other gold sink mounts, are they?

Thus far, it’s just the AH Bronto.

Thanks, so i guess maybe its just something to do with the AH aspect of it after all?
Maybe they should try introducing another mount with the same model but without the AH npc
It’s really lame that it’s the only brontosaur mount.
Well folks are claiming that the AH vendor is gone via datamining. So now people are speculating that they’re going to remove the vendor and paste it onto the next gold sink mount in Shadowlands.
Have a year or so to get it at least. Still a bit odd as the Yak xmog mount and Spider from legion are still in.
While I do see how it will drive some people to buy tokens, I have to wonder how many people who were going to buy it “later” will actually have or want to spend that RL money.

You laugh now, but by posting this, you’ve invoked a fell curse that will one day see a dev reply to a genuine concern with this response.
And on that dark day, we shall all weep.

By and large I do agree with you. But in this year of our Lord two thousand and nineteen, I am on a nostalgia trip of Burning Crusade dungeons while listening to Warhammer 40k lore videos.
It says something that I choose to listen to another franchise’s lore. When years ago, I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel dedicated to WarCraft’s own.
