Um…no, the commonality would’ve been that they’re bots. You know Blizzard can just track AH activity regardless of location, right? The AH is a system, they just check that system. It doesn’t matter where it’s being accessed from.

shrugs It’s fine you guys don’t believe me, but you’ll never see the brutosaur or another AH that isn’t in a static location again, and that’s the reason why.

I thought engineers could craft AHs?
(this is pretty sad I don’t know this but I’ve had a max level Mage as my Ah alt for many, many years 
)

As a brutosaur owner, it doesn’t make sense to deploy the brutosaur to buy something that I can’t immediately pick up in a nearby mailbox, which are usually in the static locations.

Nope. it’s been suggested, but not implemented. There ARE engineer only AH’s, but again, all in static locations.

Actually, as I mentioned in another post, the stated reason that the Bruto was removed from the vendor was because Blizz just didn’t want it to become too ‘common’ over time.

So you’re saying you can’t just park one next to a mailbox then move it after some time? there’s a forcefield stopping you from parking a bruto next to a mailbox?

Btw, I think it’s pretty crappy to punish legit players to stop bots.

I have the gladiator helm on my shammy, it doesn’t show for my hunter. Killed Ordos a few times to farm the helm but no luck so far.

True but Blizzard already punished legit players to stop RWF from min/max conduits with energy…so i can expect anything from them

No, I was simply explaining why I place my brutosaur where I place it, an actual data point instead of the stuff you’re pulling out of your butt.

It is, but it makes Blizzard’s job easier and they do things for their convenience, not ours. Druid botting is why they’re making changes to multi-seat mounts as well.
An anecdote about how you personally don’t bot isn’t a data point and doesn’t mean others haven’t and wont abuse it.
Check out the comments:
Y’know, it’s pretty telling that you’re ignoring the folks pointing out that the Bruto’s AH is irrelevant to abuse or botting. Its removal from the vendor was also irrelevant to abuse or botting.
Actually, maybe a bit shakier on that second point. I imagine there are some out there who went down those routes in an attempt to acquire one, but there’s very little to be gained by an abuser/botter when actually using one. Very little that Blizzard can’t still easily track, at least.

Not ignoring. Already said it’s fine that you guys don’t believe me. But you’ll still never see an AH that isn’t in a static location again because of the botting abuse that Blizzard wasn’t expecting when they initially designed the Brutosaur.
One of us has a brutosaur, and can tell you exactly how he uses it and where and why.
The other has paranoia and no brutosaur, and is just making crap up, including supposed commonalities among banned botters.
One of us also thinks that if harming AH botters was actually the point of removing the brutosaur, turning the mount into the focus of a marketed FOMO campaign would be stupid and drive up the number of potentially abused brutosaurs they’d have to deal with, instead of just removing the item altogether.

AH Bots are like Bigfoot. People say they exist but no one has proof lol.

True. But then that also makes you go “hmm, why would botters spend 5 mil on a mount when they can just sell that 5 mil for 800 dollars?”

It reminds me of the people that insisted the Jeweled Onyx Panther wasn’t being duped.
None of them could answer me why a bot would take 100k in mats, craft a JOP, then sell it for 20k. The closet they came was bots were targeting accounts that had JOPs or accounts with orbs sitting in the bank? Made no damn sense but whatevs. Glad I got my “legit” JOP for 20k then.
