First of all. Nobody in the history of ever did not see this coming. Secondly. Absolutely nobody cares.
Look Bliz. I could never affourd this mount. EVER. And I still think this is one of the dumbest things you’ve ever done. Removing a gold sink mount? How is that going to help the economy. Almost as dumb as pathfinder.
What benefit do you see in keeping it? Other than making the 5 collectors that were late to the party happy?

Keep up the momentum, it’s time for them to learn that we don’t like being goaded into playing/paying for tokens purely through mental manipulation and the “fear of missing out.” That is the way F2P games such as FORTNITE make money, not P2P games such as Warcraft.
We already pay alot of money to play this game, it’s time they respect that and stop looking for more ways to nickle and dime us.

Better question, what benefit does removing it have other than yet another victim of “locked in the time vault”.

lol um. Welcome to Warcraft? Did you buy that account because you are obviously new here.
The “fear of missing out” has always been a thing they have used to encourage people to do things. It’s not new. This isn’t the first time they have made something unobtainable and it wont be the last. Buy those tokens and get your brutosaur while you can!
They already have you committing to a year long wait in order to have access to something that you legitimately earned (flight) years ago. If you’re still around at this point they can basically get away with whatever they want with you.
At the end of the day it won’t affect me because unless I got a boat load of gold gifted there is NO WAY I’m getting this mount. I simply believe it should stay in as a “If you get 5mil gold you can get this mount”.

I’ve been playing since 08. The first thing they phased out was the QBWT which, ok it’s from a once a server event, fair enough. Then all the way in Wrath the meta achieve mounts from the first tier were exclusive, the backlash from this was enough to back off on this from the rest of the meta-mounts exclusivity.
There’s of course, other examples since then. But I have never been happy with any of them. We need to push back on the Brutosaur, or they’ll do this with every gold-sink mount going forward. The only way to get them to stop is to put our foot down as a community.

This is yet another comment that makes me laugh. The remaining community has proven that they will follow in whatever direction Blizzard tugs the leash in. It’s like watching unions slowly die with the death rattle “we won you the 40 hour work week” as their swan song.
Nobody is going to stop them lol. Not you. Not me. Not any other number of forumgoers combined. They are going where they want and you will either follow or fall off the wagon. Take your pick.
Wow thats really dumb to remove it. I wonder if there will be a similar mount in shadowlands with same function just different look? We need something to drive gold cost of tokens down for us cheapskates with the gold.
Heck maybe this announcement will do it?

Taking away things from the game seems to be the norm. Why even have a game if you just keep taking stuff away?

In all honesty, it’ll probably be cheaper on the BMAH.
At 5 million, the ones that abused mission tables or know how to use the AH are the ones that can afford it (and most likely have already bought it).
Going on the BMAH, you’ll be competing against people in a similar situation of not being able to afford it when it was 5 million. So, while rarer, should be cheaper and more attainable.
The fact that they keep doing it tells me that it’s a tactic that works for them. For every person on here that is going to complain about it, ten people are going to go splurge their holiday savings to get a brutosaur mount.
Throwing a fit on the forums while they rake in the money from their maneuver isn’t going to stop anything. 
Stop removing things from the game! This is such a ridiculous decision. /facepalm

You’re assuming that they won’t set the starting price at 5 million.

Why? There is literally no legitimate reason to do this except to screw over your playerbase in some way. Seriously why?
