You say that those people know how to make gold, those same people very likely would have already bought said mount because like you said, they know how to make gold.

That isn’t really how the bmah works… even if it did people would buy it to resell it on the ah

There have been many “exclusive” mounts that have been reskinned. Nothing new about it.

Not exactly at all. You will not bid against the best goldmakers in the us, you will bid against players that couldnt pay 5m for longboi in bfa or new players. Im assuming new players cant make millions so fast.
Guys, longboi is not Zulian, longboi is not rare to be bought over 5m, because you can buy it with 5m. Waiting for shadowlands to buy a longboi over 5m is not very smart.

Except they literally said with the spider mount they wouldn’t do recolours of mounts like these.

Yes, it is how it works. All mounts bid start at 20k. About resell i dont know what you mean. I know about the 2 tcgs and companions that you can buy on bmah and resell, but im not sure what you mean.

Thats why I’m pretty much not happy. From the start they made it seem like it was gonna be like the other gold sink mounts. I had it calculated,etc to where I’d get it within next expansion but nope.

Doesn’t matter. They have never removed a gold sink. There is only one reason for them doing so. Also, if they were they would have told us, and they didn’t. If they are, and are just not telling us, then that reinforces the only reason they would do so.

Hmmm…why would anyone want to wait till it’s on BMAH. When it’ll be worth more than 5mil. 
It’s worth 5mil not over 5mil. It stupid to put a mount like this into players hand’s to decide the value. It’s a mount like the other gold sink ones and should stay like it is now.
Blizz is pulling a stupid move here.

I’m not saying they haven’t done reskins, I’m not saying they couldn’t do reskins, I’m just saying that they can easily refute the “but you could make a brutosaur without the vendors” argument. Making a non-exclusive version of an exclusive mount is entirely at their discretion, and they can easily say, “In this case, given the cost of the brutosaur, we don’t think it would be appropriate” and that’s the end of the discussion.
And I’m not even saying exclusivity is their real motive - frankly, I don’t think it is, I think someone higher up sent down a memo to push metrics (either /played or token sales) for Q1 2020 and this is the method the devs came up with, it just got leaked before 8.3 dropped - but exclusivity is a very easy argument for them to trot out.

Gee… I can’t image why ONLY the huge gold sink mount is going away and not the other mount. Blizzard unintentionally revealing their motivations with this admission that not ALL dinosaur items are going “extinct”.
Blizz has made a lot of good decisions going into Shadowlands, but not this one. Two steps forward, one step back is still going forward, though.

Again, it will not be over 5m on bmah so soon. Again, you will not face the best of goldmaking on bmah. The players that will decide the value dont have 5m or they are smart (and patient) enought to snap under 5m. Its not stupid to let players decide the mount value, i’ve doing this for years and its a nice option for us, we actually enjoy it.

Some of us that can make gold don’t stockpile it and spent it on other things, not knowing this thing was going to be removed.

So as a consequence of this change. I can no longer play my alliance toons (since gold doesn’t transfer over). Since most of my toons are horde and have to devote time to get this before it becomes harder to get. It would have been nice to know this from the start of the expansion. This greatly dissapoints me. I do hope they consider changing this. This has become my new priority and it sucks.

At this rate, the gold value of tokens will probably be like 10,000 gold by this time next year, if that.
The value of the token is dropping fast, like about 10,000 price reduction every single day.

My ally realm is so dead things like Invincible don’t even hit a million gold, if they don’t merge more realms would’nt be surprised if I could get it for a discount over current price.

I personally think this is rotten thing to do to the player base …all those that can’t spend endless hours farming for mats to make stuff to sell…or farm ores and herbs to sell…its not their fault.

Bought the longboi when BfA released, had considerable funds from Legion. It has been useful, and fun to have, but I don’t think I would recommend purchasing it or chasing gold to buy it while BfA winds down. Getting the AH set-up in your garrison is arguable more beneficial and a lot cheaper.
Pros:
-awesome looking mount
-AH anywhere
-BfA crafting mats vendor
Cons:
-can’t craft while mounted
-AH is already pretty easy to access with portals (best AH for performance is garrison AH)
-access to BfA materials a lot less useful once the expansion is over
-economic benefits of having Brutosaur not likely to ever equal or exceed 5m gold
