Funny it got closed so quickly.

The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is something that fundamentally alters players’ flow around the world, and it’s a unique convenience, but it’s certainly not essential. We’ve seen how luxury mounts like the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth started out as something special and rare: a repair vendor wherever you are! They were originally ultra-exclusive and mostly purchased by guild banks for convenient raid use, but then became increasingly commonplace due to gold inflation over time.

We think that a moderate amount of gold inflation is healthy. It ensures that new or returning players can catch up and participate in server economies without having to put in a herculean effort to avoid being priced out of essential goods. In this case, we want to ensure that in the long run, years from now, we don’t find ourselves looking around and seeing AH mounts that are as common as repair mounts are today.

Explain this, Blizzard.

[Alayea-malfurion (Alayea)]

Considering how the original thread had far more than five thousand replies, I seriously doubt that the forum system engaged itself without someone at Blizzard pushing a button.

Microsoft need to recoup acquisition money

@Doness-kargath

Explain this, Blizzard.

It’s been 5 years and they changed their mind.

[Boomdoggle-zuljin]

If the OG brutosaur mount is available once a year on only a handful of realms, that should be considered “obtainable”.

[Dracarian-medivh]

Agreed. Kinda hoping they do it with more “removed” mounts. Not at $90, cause this has perks, but at $29 or $39 would be great.

[Grommgar-tichondrius]

This aged well

[Brahmina-khadgar (Brahmina)]

Makes me laugh. But at least now I know what to buy my sister for Christmas.

in other words , a pressure tactic to push the cash grab, put the fomo into people and get them to buy now.

@Moostapha-aerie-peak

a pressure tactic to push the cash grab

No. That was their actual stated reason for removing the original brutosaur from the vendor. That quote is from a post made back in Battle for Azeroth.

Explain this, Blizzard.

People asked for an AH mount so Blizzard gave a new AH mount

Not really all that mind blowing.

[Ricros-bleeding-hollow]

@Boredumb-alexstrasza

People asked for an AH mount so Blizzard gave a new AH mount

I think they wanted one obtainable by in game means.

Instead, Blizzard not only uses this as an opportunity for a cash grab, but it hilariously results in them contradicting themselves.

Blizzard STILL isn’t bringing the Brutosaur back, using this reasoning. God I can’t stand people who shill.
