the amount of people in here that think it’s cool to spend $90 on the blizz store on a re-colored mount with 0 effort that went into creating it… while still paying a sub and having one of the worst starts to an xpac in history. Same folks that cry when they put a TCG mount on twitch or the trading post!
i def can’t wait to re visit this one in a year or two!

Same! I didn’t start the game until Shadowlands so it was out of the cards for me. I’d spent about 4 months eyeing the BMAH to try and snag the brutosaur but they answered my prayers with this.

I’ve played WoW for 20 years. Through all the lows, all the questionable choices, all the disappointing content, I’ve stuck it out. Just in terms of subscription fees, I’ve spent nearly $4,000 on this game. In all this time, there was never anything that made me really think about walking away. But this? This might be the last straw. $90 on pixels? The $25 mounts were bad, but now Blizz is going to reserve it’s best work for hundred dollar mounts? Yeah, I might be done.

Well at least with its own mailbox it means they dont have congregate on top of a game mailbox.
But really, this is just another example of the increasing monetization of the game. When they took out the original bruto Ion gave all sorts of reasons why it wasn’t a good idea to have it in the game. And now they double down on it, selling something they know people want for the kinds of money that many of us dont have to spare for a bunch of pixels.
If this continues (which it likely will since this will probably make them a boatload of money) I doubt I’ll be playing at the end of TWW. My camel’s back is starting to get very sore…

I got mine as soon as it came out Thank you blizzard
Wow… $120 AUD…
I mean people were so disappointed that the longboi was removed from being able to be purchased. Having a portable AH was the issue apparently? Over the years, people have put forward ideas on how we can get a new one. I quite liked the idea of a recolour without the AH. People have been begging for this mount.
Then you finally give in, keep the AH, slap on an overpriced (highly overpriced) figure on it AND make it a FOMO mount to suck as much money as possible out of the player base, like so with the broom mount
How about being the 20th anniversary you make it obtainable in game? You know, the 20th anniversary we should be celebrating?
Sorry blizzard, but your business practices are nothing short of a disgrace. You’ve gone down a path that treats its customers terribly.
Money/shareholders>>>>>>>>loyal customers.

the price is an absolute joke
This is why I laugh when people complain about “wow you spent 90$” me not spending my gold in BFA……
“Nope I saved 700 dollars”
This is what cities and towns will increasingly be like:

Get used to the visual clutter of huge mounts everywhere.
Yes it is limited, until Jan 6, 2025…so looks like right on the line for new year.
Hey guys anyone know why we demonized Bobby Kotick and threw him under bus that he was responsible for all these greedy decisions? Curious.
I mean, we can still safely and fairly demonize that hobgoblin.

I actually have pity for people shelling out that much for a copy/paste mount.
You know how many posts have been made saying “if they put it on the shop I’ll buy it. I dont care how much it is”
Now its on the shop and youre trying to shame Blizzard lol typical GD. Never change

It’s just who the player base is now. Blizzard has farmed the “please be my daddy” players for so long at this point, I’m pretty sure brains are in the minority.
