Still say this is complete crap on Blizzard part to remove this mount when Shadowlands goes live…its punishing those that before now were not high end gold makers …new folks to the game or those that didn’t really max out on Mission boards of Legion and WoD…its wrong.

I don’t really feel punished. I feel more betrayed.
I had my goal set. I was plodding along, amassing my gold. I knew it would take me until the end of the next expansion, but I was going to get there.
Until Blizzard pulled the rug out, and thus completely obliterated my desire to play at all. Now I spend more time on the forums than in game–and I lost my trust level 3 due to not coming to the forums.

Someone said on secretfinder discord that the bid will cost at least 5m at bmah.
Wouldn’t be surprised, but we have no way of knowing.
I do understand fellow hunter …its still BS even in my book and always will be for them doing this to rest of player base…

Just came back here to see if anyone had anything to add to this, but really, it’s all been said already.
Making this move with no announcement was pretty low. It still hasn’t officially been mentioned by Blizz anywhere but here, and this thread was started by a player who saw it through a datamine on another site.
If things in the game are going to be limited time only, that needs to be mentioned from the moment the limited time item appears–not over a year later through datamining.
If the reason for removing the Brutosaur is because the devs don’t want to see mobile AH’s become as common as repair mounts*, then one or more non-AH Brutosaur models should be made available from the vendors when the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is moved to the Black Market AH.

Ever since this final straw went onto the camel’s back, I’m still not feeling the love I used to have for WoW. Maybe it’ll come back. Maybe it won’t. I’m waiting to see what happens when Shadowlands launches. How Blizz responds to this and other issues by then should give me a really good idea whether I want to continue my subs.

except 5 million gold is not chump change except for the richest of AHers most I’ve ever saved was 100K and that was through all of Legions expansion.
All I can say is if/when they remove it… at least put in a brutosaur without the vendors. It can be smaller and have a different color but I still want one!

Apparently, Blizzard thinks it will be, “in the long run”. At least according to their official excuse for removing the MCB from the vendors.

5mil is not chump change by any means. but its also a lot easier to acquire these days. and if u were only able to save up 100k during legion and u were actually trying to make gold than u were doing it wrong lol. legion was so easy to make gold. hell i made a million in 3 days or so with minimal effort just farming ore in suramar from the basilisks. i couldnt keep it on ah quick enough. i would sell stacks for like 40k at that moment. instant sells also. but i also know how to make gold on this game and work the AH. but everyone tries it these days so its lost a little of its affectivenes. unless u come from what i call old money in the wow world. where u already have millions and can control the AH. and though i didnt do it because i let gold burn a hole in my pocket i know how many have.
Wait wait wait, Horde can’t even get the chopper anymore? Are you frickin kidding me?
Who designed this?
The Horde only got their chopper during a set time period after winning the competition. As far as anyone knows, the rules of the competition prevent Blizzard from making it available again.
I would’ve liked to earn the mount… I took too much time off BFA, and I don’t have nearly enough gold or time or will to get it now before Shadowlands. At least they are adding it to the BMAH so I guess it’s technically not removed from the game… just will always sell for gold cap.
For me I guess I’m more upset it’s being removed, even though realistically I wouldn’t get the mount even if I had 5m laying around… It’s cool, but now I just want to have it because it’s being taken away.
I think that might have been Blizzard’s plan. Create a sense of urgency by suddenly making an item limited.
I wanted it from the moment they were first data-mined. I was really bummed that the only version available in the game was the 5-mil AH one. Still, I was set to grind out that gold and get me one by the end of the next expansion. Until, of course, that option was snatched away from me.
I would be content if a non-AH model is put on the vendors when the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is retired to the BMAH. I’m not holding my breath for it though.

I really think they need to reverse their decision on this with the coronavirus outbreak. I am now spending gold that I was saving up to buy the mount on game time. I am sure there are a lot of people not working right now that are doing the same.

Not the rules of the competition, the legal contract said it must be temporary then never again, that’s all. However since the alliance lost, we get to keep our chopper available to be bought 24/7 no matter what.
Yeah another week has gone by that I didn’t get the Heavenly Onyx on any of my 18 max level chars. I was gonna log back in and go try for Galleon but was like “nah”. I get that a MMO is gonna have some rng but this game takes it to absurd levels. It’s demoralizing. No one should come up empty after 9 years of farming. That is just plain ridiculous.

Hello Blizzard,
I just wanted to reach out to you again to say that I do not agree or support your decision to move the brutosaur mount to the BMAH.
Thank you,
Fezzy

If you only heard about this just now, and haven’t bought the Bruto yet, you clearly don’t care about the mount
Some people don’t have or want to throw $500+ at the game any time they want.
