Hope everyone remembers Blizzard's "reason" for removing the Caravan Brutosaur

Remember this when the Brutosaur was removed?
“The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is something that fundamentally alters players’ flow around the world…”
By current appearances, it was simply so players could be gauged for real world money. Congrats Blizz on giving yourself yet another PR issue.

It stands to reason that they should release an AH/mail mount that’s obtainable in-game, again.
As it is, it’s now a feature entirely locked behind a real-life paywall. You cannot have a mobile AH/mailbox without either paying real money, or someone else paying more real money for you to exchange for gold via Tokens.

You can buy this with gold using wow tokens. They upped the price for this reason.

Can you buy a token right now?

I don’t think it’s that bad. Although it does beg the question, when can we expect the original bruto back on the vendor?

The saddest part of this is re-reading about the removal of the best feature this game ever had, reforging, which allowed players to have a hand in what Blizzard is bad at: making good spec-based itemization and balancing the game.

WoW tokens are a finite currency. There aren’t any on a lot of servers, now.

That was kind of a quirky situation, because people cheered when it was announced and then many of the same people cheered when it was removed.

Being able to “fix” gear stats was well loved… but it also robbed some of the joy of getting an upgrade drop, because you could not use them immediately. You had to interrupt a raid if you wanted to use your new gear quickly.

Blizzard always flip-flops on themselves.

Remember “Bring the player, not the class?”

And then they made Augmentation Evokers.

And now they’re kneecapping Shamans’ Poison Cleaning Totem because it was “too good” for M+.

So yeah, they can’t really ever be taken for their word. It’ll change down the line. Always does.

their original reasoning was dumb and I’m glad they have walked that back.
