Yup, that thing should have just been on the store.
And the old one shouldn’t have been removed in the first place.
Or 7.5 bucks a month for 12 months. So yeah, not the worst purchase if you are exclusively playing wow every week.

SMH… They need to increase the flag count or look at the amount of reports that get overturned and take action on those said accounts.
Crazy enough I believe the Title and Thread still Pop up on the Forum list 
and everyone will click on my post with that title
They should just bring the old one back and this one next to it. You know 5 mil gold and just leave it up. 
That way its fair to everyone, right?

I’d be fine if it cost gold as another Gold sink or even better was an earnable reward from the 20th Anniversary but it’s not and is instead a pay for convenience Macrotransaction in a pay to play game.
Pay to Win and/or Pay for Convenience macro/microtransactions have no place in a pay to play game and no this isn’t exclusive to Blizzard this has already come up before with Bethesda’s Fallout 1st

It can be bought with gold. Just get the tokens.

With wow tokens EVERY GOLD SINK has a “Pay for Convenience” even the first one. EVERY Single one.
If they just remade this and put a vendor in game for 5 mil (Like the last one) which was also limited time, you still could just Pay for Convenience…
Why do people act like WoW Tokens haven’t Existed since 2015?
Blizz saves EVEYONE money/gold with this vs the last one. AND we are mad?!??!
Go Farm 1.2m, takes a week or less if you just put some effort into farming gold. Just like you’d farm for every GOLD sink. and with current economy 1.2m is not a gold sink…
Oh woe is me. The billion dollar corporation isn’t receiving constant praise?

The token doesn’t exist for people to dump thousands of dollars into over an overrated dinosaur mount though does it? It was a solution to Gold Selling which was a serious issue and is still an issue for other MMOs like hell seen advertisements in FFXIV for a website to buy Gil recently.
This is Blizzard putting the mount on their store for purchase with real money only as for that token you’re not buying it from Blizzard they’re just the middleman claiming $5 tax for their service and are making even more money when people choose that option with no benefit to the games economy or anything.

they probably should have just made it a gold cost instead of putting it in the store.
personally I like just being able to pay the cash, but either way its much easier this time around, cash or gold farming.
Still, 90 bucks is a bit of change for a mount, lol.
$90 isnt going to affect my life one way or another, but I did gasp a bit when I saw the price lol
Seriously. And it’s $1.25 a day. That’s about how much in USD a person would need to shift their budget around so that they can purchase this mount. Or make a commiserate amount of gold in game to use on tokens.
So, don’t buy that bag of crisps each day? Skip that take out coffee? Spend some time in game on the AH? I mean you’d have to walk back and forth to the mailbox. Bet that will get old fast! If only you had a mount that would combine the two things.
If you’re already on the razor’s edge that $1.25 a day is going to break you then I’m sorry as you must have more pressing issues to work out. Otherwise maybe buckle up and make some super hard $1.25 a day choices and let others go about their day.
BUT if you can’t do that, I’d like to point out that there’s an in-game toy that covers a player in orange paint for a short period. Sounds like protest time to me!
So let me get this straight… because ppl were lazy, had no sense of personal responsibility and wouldn’t farm gold… and chose to spend upwards of $500 on tokens to get gold to buy the mount… and that $90 is less than what buying the tokens cost… you think it’s cheap?
That is some top drawer dysfunctional rationalization right there…

Lol You bought that $500 league of legend skin didnt ya?
It’s because people aren’t smart enough to understand that even mounts released in-game purely for gold cost are still technically store mounts. Either way people can either buy it directly with money or buy it via wow token gold conversion.
The reality is that because of the wow token everything that costs gold is a store item.
Are people getting paid in gametime or tokens for shilling this thing?
The amount of people leaving their common sense and logic at the door when posting about this thing is frightening…
Buy it if you want, if that floats your boat.
I might get it when it’s 70% off

Theoretically the original was a coin sink. We always have coin sink mounts. They are good for the game economy.
90 dollar mount… 15 dollars from a 20 dollar token… so you are spending $120 for a $90 mount in the end. well someone is paying, dont act like that token just comes into existence out of nowhere.

Yeah that’s true, that’s why I’m biding my time to next pay-day 
Additionally, like some have stated earlier – You can purchase WoW tokens with your gold in-game and then convert those tokens to WoW credit ($20 per token) to ramp up enough credits to score the mount 
So in that regard — it’s about 6 token purchases give or take, to get enough credits to earn the mount.
I addressed that later on. 
However, such doesn’t change the fact that the mount is still limited time … Mind you, it’s quite a fair amount of enough time to earn either the gold or possibly the funds to score it - but still limited time nonetheless.

I generally wait until the sales in December and get a few of the ones I want.
This year it will probably be the kitty and the wood dragon for my wife. She really loves that thing.

I’m mad that I paid $90 and the brutosaur doesn’t fly. The armor should transform into jet packs and turn my brutosaur into a giant flying mount. Also the chest in the back should give bank access. Also I need a transmog npc and vendor npc. Its the lack of QoL that gets me, like, I shouldn’t have to dismount my brutosaur just to mount up again to vendor/repair or transmog.
