Fools fight wars…morons fight endless wars.
Id have to question the IQs of both sides if they couldnt figure out how to find peace at some point.
This ‘war’ was so labored after what…30 years now?
" Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a real-time strategy game (RTS) developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, and published by Interplay Productions in Europe. It was released for MS-DOS in North America on 15 November 1994"
just get it over with, already. lol
You have yet to explain precisely why this mount is bad for the game. I don’t mean vague statements - what specific problems do you anticipate?
No, people are losers if they have a job where they can’t afford buying it.
People will buy this because they’re not good with money.
But hey its their money to do with as they wish, I just think its excessive and greedy on Blizzs part.
This video is awesome its about the new Long Boi…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM_WxWxITHw
With the token price going crazy, I bought it with real money. Will be buying 6 tokens after the promo ends in January and adding game time to offset, so I’ll only need to spend gold on it.
Whays funny to me is people are up here complaining about it costing so much… I didnt just buy one… I bought 2 cause you know the wife needs one too 
Like its so easy, if you dont like it dont buy it. And for those that are like… WeLl tHiS iS ThE lAsT sTrAw… yeah you will be back. You have said this before and you will do it again just remember the bruto will be gone when you finally stop pouting so do yourself a favor and buy it before you quit playing so it will be there when you come back 
When the original Brutosaur came out back in BFA, I spent several hundred dollars, trying to acquire enough WoW Tokens to get the item. After about $360 spent and a few weeks, I ended up buying shiny items and never ended up getting it.
I’m glad they did it this way, to take out the mess of acquiring it.
Amen. And the price of golden jetskis is also ridiculous
I won’t knock anyone for how they spend their disposable income. I genuinely feel bad if people are so addicted to WoW that they spend money on these things rather than necessities, but don’t know how often that happens.
I haven’t explained it, because this is common knowledge that we have known about since Wrath of the Lich King.
The more universally applicable or “useful” a quality of life improvement is, the more “required” it makes people feel like it is. No one needs most of the things that are quality of life improvements… but they are quality of life improvements. Are you going to argue for its removal, even if you later on discover the improvements made the thing worse?
That’s the inherent danger of them, and we can use a nearly endless number of real world examples. Everything from stores doing away with fake “sales” tags going almost bankrupt, to how cars cause something called “induced demand” which essentially state that the better you make it to drive - the worse it gets.
Quality of life improvements are only improvements if they actually improve on something which was a problem. Repair vendors on mounts sorta did this, but also not. Because they just put more repair vendors into the game, so the real strength of it became that you could sell anything anywhere at any time.
So what problem does an auction house vendor on a mount actually solve, and how does it make things better than just going to a major city ever since they started putting non-engineering auction houses into expansion capitals?
There isn’t a specific vague problem that I anticipate because… it is an improvement, but… to what? This is the exact same issue that Waterstriders caused back when Mists of Pandaria released. Why use a different mount when that’s the only one that’s useful to you?
This is also why I’m less concerned now because of how flying has reshaped how we traverse the world, and as I mentioned they started putting more useful NPCs around the world more easily accessible to us. But there are other issues. A bizarre one is that Blizzard had a precedence before that EVERY store mount could fly.
Now not all of them does. It would be beyond silly to argue the brontosaurus should… but it means that the mount has broken a precedence. Another one is that you can now literally buy utility in the store, which you haven’t been able to do before.
This one mount violates EVERYTHING we know about how people interact with convenience as well as it shattering several precedences that shouldn’t ever be broken.
So… when I say that this is likely not game killing, it likely isn’t. But it is without a shadow of a doubt objectively HORRENDOUS for the game’s overall health. It is time limited, and maybe the world has changed enough where this isn’t that detrimental… but it is still, for the sake of the game’s overall health, the worst item that they have ever sold on any of their stores (that relate to World of Warcraft) in the history of World of Warcraft.
Most folks on these forums are just going to respond to a meme when pointing out these things. That’s why I haven’t mentioned it, because most folks don’t care about understanding game design, human psychology, or the paradoxical nature of conveniences.
But you asked so… here you go.
I think the problem is the time to care was a decade ago when it was first introduced as only cosmetics. Horse has bolted from the stables now.
Hire more customer support.
It would’ve made a lot of sense, imo, to have included the bruto as part of an epic edition. Or like a legendary edition.
$120 and get everything and the epic edition
I feel for the people that bought one recently on the BMAH, as they were somewhat screwed over by this addition, dropping gold cap and in almost all cases a fair bit of time waiting for it to pop on their server. The ones that have had it since it was purchaseable, far less so as they got to use it for years, which had a lot of value in the time that has passed.
Is it?
There were several threads of people saying they would pay 100 for it. I feel like I got it at a discount.
Not good for the game…. This is gonna be the best quester for blizzard since wrath.
Even if they extend the cash shop this is cosmetic stuff…it’s not an item anyone “has to have”
I offered to buy 2 of them @300$ per bruto like 2 weeks ago via ticket…
It was $800 at the time i bought mine. I looked up the price of the token right after I bought it and in my head is a $800 mount. I still haven’t recovered from spending that gold lol
Edit: spelling mistake
WOW…
I remember that number being tossed around in here back then.
THAT is a lot of money lol.
But who am I to talk…I bought a total of 13 $60 boosts early BFA lmao.
Money Id prefer now having bought more silver with lol
Oh when the boosts first came (Was that MoP? god its been to long) I bought like 13 boosts too so i had a variety of toons to play. I didnt think about how i wouldnt know how a good chunk of those classes play lol
This is available through January 6th.
Save $9 a week and youre in the money!
