Nope. You’re assuming. People thought the same about the mammoth and yak. Look where we are now.
For the third time now…
These gold sink mounts are something people work towards through the years as a fun side goal. That is now being taken away for no reason.
I never said that. I have it but I really don’t see the difference in it getting removed one way or another. Even when it goes on the BMAH you’ll likely pay around the same amount. I’ve seen stuff on the BMAH go for a lot cheaper then when it was relevant (see korkron juggernaut etc etc)
But the brutosaur has an AH directly on it. I can wager 200 real dollars that the price will skyrocket to unbelievable amounts of gold. One has a perk, the other is just a model.
If the brutosaur is to be removed, then remove the yaks and make new mounts every expansion with the same benefits.
God damn the shills are out in full force over this.
Removing it from the vendor is a bad idea. Plain and simple. If people are sooooooooo convinced that players weren’t going to get this anyway due to its cost, then they should have no problem with leaving it right where it is. See? See how that logic works both ways? And that’s ignoring the fact that maybe…just MAYBE there are players out there who are still working towards it but may not have enough gold by the time it gets removed. Or heaven forbid, NEW PLAYERS! Geez. I wonder how new players would feel getting jibbed out of this arbitrarily introduced artificial scarcity. A bit of a kick in the nuts if you ask me.
And no, it’s NOT the same as panda lego/wod challange/legion mage tower. In case you hadn’t noticed, BfA has no big trump card like those. Hence why its mostly a crappy expac.
SMH.
A lot of players simply don’t care for new players, and anything exciting they should miss out on because of an over inflated ego.
Removing it in a year I can guarantee you (without having to sit here and post some statistics) will affect a very small amount of people.
Removing it affects 100% of the people that don’t have it and don’t have the disposable income (approximately $675 at current WoW Token gold price) to buy it or the time to farm it. It affects the people that want it and can farm it given the time limit but must spend a majority of their play time farming gold rather than playing the current content or leveling an alt. It affects everyone that doesn’t have it now by limiting their choices whether they would have elected to buy it or not. For no good reason at all.
Because its not worth it, I already have an Ah toon .
Not outraged, don’t want it.
Those who do have a year to get it.
/thread
I would never accumulate the required 5 million gold. I soooooo do not care.
The people weren’t going to buy it anyways, they just want something to be outraged about
I don’t have it but I think it’s kinda cool either way, if it was available cool, if not then it’s cool for those that did get it
Hell, maybe more of us would have it if there wasn’t a rash of needlessly overpriced vendor mounts in this expansion.
Take the three frogs, the six 8.2 faction mounts, and the Rustbolt mount - all of which are priced just to soak players - that’s 1.8 million gold for 10 mounts, 7 of which dropped less than six months ago.
This is what it boils down to.
No, it definitely boils down to elitism not wanting others to have a chance at buying a ludicrously expensive mount.
So buy it, you’ll have had 2 years about in total to have saved up
People complaining prolly ain’t even got 500k
I didn’t own the mammoth or yak until well after the expac they were released in. So that’s false. Also it doesn’t matter who would or would not own it eventually. They have never removed a gold sink. Doing so now with the most expensive one to date can only be for one reason.
Not everyone has that kind of gold laying around, or can afford a token everyday, or is an AH mastermind. 
Which is fine, I don’t have it either
But this 20+ new posts an hour is laughable with people being “outraged”
They weren’t going to get it either way, they’re just addicted to being angry or feeling wronged
I still am to get an answer as to why it matters if the mount is kept in the game if people weren’t going to buy it anyway, where’s the harm in leaving it in the game?
In fact let me help your ego;
“You haven’t got the brutosaur yet? It’s been in the game for 6 years, you’re slacking”
There is no harm, but this is their decision and it seems they made it
It may shock you, but people can be annoyed at things they feel are wrong even if they will not be personally affected.
