Looks Like the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur might Be Unobtainable In 9.0.1 (Part 1)

I just woke up and I’m too lazy to provide links, but if you go into twitch and watch gold farm streams, and join gold farming Discords, you’ll see both people scrambling to try and get this last second, and people celebrating getting it.

I have a feeling I won’t be celebrating. I’m close to the halfway mark, but I’m already feeling burnt out.

I highly doubt we’re ever going to get to the point where quests hand out tens of thousands of gold.

I feel you. But I’m also rooting for you. I’m only about a third of the way along, and I just can’t really up my gold making. There’s simply no time left in my day. I guess I should be glad that I don’t have to worry so much about burn-out.

Hello blizzard,

I just wanted to reach out to you once more to say that I do not agree or support your decision to move the brutosaur mount to the BMAH.

Thank you,
Fezzy

No, but much bigger titles do, like LoL, DOTA2, or even other MMORPGS like OSRS, RS3, and ESO are pretty detailed about what they’re removing in the future and are VERY thorough with patch notes.

I’m not even upset that they are removing it. I wouldn’t ask for it to be removed, but it’s their game, they have all the data, etc. So I respect that decision, even if I personally don’t like it.

However - no notification = acting in bad faith. This is what I am upset about. It is impacting my game-play experience, as I am now in the position of having to rush to obtain this mount that I planned to get two of, over time. Now I will get mine, and not be able to get the other, which will cause a cascade effect of negativity.

Not happy with Blizzard over this, and I hope they review and modify their stance regardless if I get it or not.

That’s pretty much what I’m hoping for, too. If the reason for removing the MCB from the vendors is the AH feature, then use a non-AH version as a replacement. The MCB can move to the BMAH for those who really, really, really need a mobile AH. The rest of us who just want a brutosaur mount can then still get one. Blizzard gets fewer AH mounts, players can still have a brutosaur = win/win

As has been mentioned several times throughout this thread, there are a number of brutosaur models already available in the data base, so a replacement brutosaur would require no development time.

Not bad for a indie company “working” on their communication with the community, eh?

I’ve lost my trust level three because I’ve not been coming to the forums much lately. I guess. I haven’t been told I got any sort of suspensions or anything, so that’s the only reason I can think of.

And I haven’t been coming to the forums (or playing WoW) much because I’m just plain discouraged. I log in and do emissaries. That’s pretty much it. Since I have three days to do them, I haven’t been logging in every day. I know, that’s not going to get me any gold for the mount, but I can’t get it in time anyway.

Blizzard shouldn’t be doing things that discourage players. They should be doing things that make us get excited. Every time they take something from the game, a little part of my enthusiasm dies. At this point, there’s not much left to even make me want to play.

I WAS A FAN! I LOVED THIS GAME!

Now when I think about WoW, my mind changes the subject to something happier.

Sadly they don’t tell you WHY you lost the trust level, even when opening a ticket. It’s a lovely way of further solidifying how little they care about the user experience.

Hope you’re able to get it back though.

I definitely feel you on the discouragement. I log in to do my daily vision, my bug mount dailies, and then just kinda flop. If my group isn’t running M+ I just log off and do other stuff. I was excited to level up my cloak on alts and whatnot, but I just can’t be bothered anymore.

You need to maintain trust 3, its not automatic forever. I had it on and off multiple times before I changed realms with guild and was forced to change name which brought me to level 1 on forums…

Oh, I know. I only mentioned it to show how distanced I’m feeling from the game right now. I don’t come to the forums enough anymore to maintain my trust level–and I don’t even know when I lost it.

I feel like Blizzard is pushing me away. “Your style of play isn’t good enough for us,” is what I hear from them every time they remove something I was enjoying or working toward. It’s super depressing.

I feel more and more like this. Makes me sad.

This really is a thing. I feel it too.

Posting just because I have the tiniest shred of hope they might at least put a non-AH model on the vendor. (I’ve got no hope they’ll just leave the Might Caravan Brutosaur alone, though that would be the best thing.)

I don’t know how I’ll feel if they ignore us completely. Well, I know I’ll feel bad, but I don’t know if I’ll accept it or if it’ll push me out of playing WoW at all. Really hard to even try anymore.

Hello! I am here to once again mention that Blizzard’s entire decision-making process as regards this mount is idiotic and shortsighted!

If you want to make something limited time, tell us when you release it. :upside_down_face:

Honestly you guys should’ve seen this coming.

They want to keep people restrained to Stormwind/Orgimmar especially now with Boralus and Zuldazar not having a way of Auction

(legion dala had the jeeves when you picked up engineering)

Boralus and Dazar’alor have auction NPCs for Engineering. And you could fairly easily put together an AH NPC in your garrison. At least until they remember it exists and find some way to break it while telling us how much it improves the game.

I like this solution. I honestly don’t care about the AH NPC, but I really like the idea of riding around on a giant brontosaurus.

I started farming gold again and liquidating my trade good reserves. It is so sad to see all my metal gone but I really want that dino.
