Try to understand that this is a fix to the BMAH that people have been asking for. This gives people a chance to buy stuff straight from a vendor for a while before it goes on the BMAH. So it alleviates the problems with trying to wait for things to appear on the BMAH, dealing with people who realm hop to gold cap everything, etc.
People have been asking for something like this to help out the BMAH. This isn’t some random vendor. It’s tied to the BMAH itself and meant to help with the issues we’ve been seeing with it.

Now, if only they’d put things already on the BMAH on the vendor. I know it probably won’t happen but its not like I’m going to win what I really want from the BMAH either.

give it time might be like the traders
That’s what I’m hoping this leads to. I think this first time is to test how it does and I’m hoping that’s what we’ll see next time.

I definitely see this stuff and old stuff cycling in and out of the BMAH.
Yep, I see people crying about it
my only question is: is this going to be cheaper on the BMAH before bids, or will these be the starting prices for the items.
now they just need to put the brutosaur for 5m on the vendor

If there’s something that got me thinking this exp is how we were in need of some goldsink. Too many people hoarding gold.
its a really stupid addition. those cosmetics should be going to the trading post. not starting out as an absurd gold sink then being lost to entirely random BMAH listings

I kinda doubt that any stuff that’s already in the game will be going to this vendor. If that happens, it’s going to kinda defeat the purpose of the BMAH entirely since you’d just wait for whatever item you’re looking for to show up on the vendor instead (and people who actually diligently check the BMAH are definitely patient enough to do this, even if it’s as sporadic as the BMAH itself).
I think it’s more likely that, if this is indeed a new gimmick for the BMAH, any future BMAH items will be put on this vendor first before going to the auction pool, just like these will be. Introductory period where you can buy it straight, auction pool after that. No pulling back from the auction pool to go onto the vendor.
I did not see these changes, elaborate?
It would be good to have a regular rotation of gold sink items rather than just occasional random ones.
It’s not. The BMAH has needed a fix like this for some time. Almost identical items are on the Trading Post already.
Not really. It’s still a gold sink. People can choose if they want it now after people force it to gold cap or if they want it later from a vendor where it’ll still be a gold sink.
It’ll get more people to interact with stuff on the BMAH, imo. People have been asking for the BMAH to be turned into a straight up vendor. This is a compromise— if they don’t screw it up. lol
Nah. There’s already more stuff on the trading post than we can afford. And tenders are finite. Gold isn’t.

Isn’t the models and skins mostly stuff made of gold? I mean… great I guess… way to show off that it’s a gold sink when it’s mostly golden items… reskins of stuff we can already get at that.
Honestly the only thing that matters on the vendor is the polearm cuz its MAAAASSSIIIIIVE
Any classes that cant use polearms took a huge L here
this is a good thing like send said if players want the long boy they will pay the 5mill not the gold cap in gold
