I was able to get one.
I don’t think they should remove it (ie move it to BMAH only).
Had they said they were removing it at the START of BFA, then yeah, everyone had notice. But they didn’t tell people till half way through BFA. I don’t know about anyone else, but I had PLENTY of gold at BFA and then I started buying mounts and pets and transmog with my Legion gold. Fully expecting that at some point I could earn the gold back and buy the Long Boi.
But then half way through after I was under 5mil on a single server, that’s when they announced it’s removal.
Kinda BS.
