For many the issue is both. There is no good reason to make this mount limited time. They didn’t do that with the transmog mount from Pandaria so why do it with this utility mount?

highly doubt you spend only 30 seconds on this forum. but step 1, instead of reading the forum post, read a TSM guide. step 2, set up tsm. step 3 click button for profit. or buy cheap on one server, export to another that sells the same product for higher. It doesnt take a lot of work, just takes the will to actually learn economics instead of spending hours complaining on a forum. To stop complaining and get started is the hardest part.

Now how much gold am I going to need to transfer my character to another realm, where the app tells me I can sell the ghost iron I’m buying up at 5 gold apiece for a 100% profit?
Okay, tried it. That meant spending 220,000 gold on tokens, spent a thousand more gold posting 50 stacks of ghost iron for 9.99 gold apiece, (must undercut the 10 gold apiece guy,) hoping to make a 99.900 total profit. Now subtract the initial cost of the ghost iron and the cost of realm transfer, and I’ll have made a splendid total profit of -161,100 gold.
Oops, The 10 gold guy has just reposted his ghost iron for 4.98 each.
How do I make a profit now?
Okay, now I’ve reposted mine for 4.97 each bar.
- But it’s not selling?
How do I make people buy this ghost iron on which I’ve staked my livelihood?
Oh Brutosaur!
I dream of you quietly carried away on a tangerine tide into the sunset.

What makes you think ghost iron is something in demand? you dont export an item to a server where theres no demand for that item. A few items ive worked on and is still working on are xiwyllag atv, 7k each cheapest servers to 20k each, deep sea satin 2g each to 7g each, bfa ores 4g each to 8g each. You do need initial start up fund for exporting for it to become profitable, but thats not the only approach to make gold. message me in game if you want better strategies. If you message me and dont follow the strategy, then you only have yourself to blame.
I guess what I’m saying is anyone advising people to regularly switch realms in order to make gold, at the cost of 25 USD each time, is giving idiotic advice.
I actually have a Brutosaur, and a couple of my characters are gold-capped, without having done any of that stupid crap.

I made the initial 4 million in like 3 months and didn’t do any of this.
Telling people to play across servers to farm gold is ridiculous - especially when it’s just to farm a mount, and not for general hardcore gold making.

I said it was one of the many strategies, not the only one. I didnt tell them to do anything, im just letting know ways of making gold if they want to.
You actually said “single forum post”. Which definitely took 30 seconds or less. Overall, I spend less than 15 minutes a day on these forums–and I don’t even come here every day. I lost my trust level 3 a long time ago due to inactivity. But I do pop in now and again when I’m taking a break from my regular work.
This is the line from your post I’m most interested in though:
How the heck do you export anything (besides BoA) to another server? Seriously. Even if you server change, you can’t take everything with you. Even the gold you take is limited based on character level.

I hit a wall at 3 million, but still on pace for my goal.

guild transfer to increase your transfer load. your expense will be about 250k one way right now. 500k round trip. you’ll have over 1000 slots and gold cap available for your transfer load. a stack of deep sea satin yields 1k profit if you transfer from low to mid price servers. 1mil - 500k round trip, or -250k and just do multiple 1 way trips before returning to main server with gold. There is always opportunity if you look. Read updates and undermine journal instead of forum and maybe you’ll make gold too. oh wait, complaining is much easier.

Flood the market, you get undercut, a few of your stacks sell at a profit - which is eaten away by all the fees, and you’re left with a mailbox containing a little gold and a hell of a lot of unwanted deep sea satin.

I don’t give advice I don’t take. Broke people are always saying “buts” and “ifs”. scared money doesnt make any money. Look at my mount collection and calculate the value of it. I’m pretty sure i know how to make gold and i know what im talking about.

Well, I’m at 4.9M now. I’m gonna get the mount tomorrow. ._.
Started April 1st, with 20k, so 54 days, spent learning TSM, gaining confidence, and than a lot of long days crafting away at that professions grind.
How do I feel? Burned out.
But I’m gonna feel burned out on a Brutosaur.

I know how to make gold and paying for realm changes is not the way.

No not at all but I’m sure they have a conscience, in which they could no longer activeky promote a game that’s strayed so far from it’s original vibe…
