Refund - False Advertisement (Dino Mount)

[Vaeana-area-52 (Vaeana)]

It’s not false advertisement.

You don’t get a refund.

not coming back

But the original Bruto mount is still available via the Black Market Auction House. It was only removed from the in-game vendor.

[Zenjy-nesingwary]

Last I heard, the mount could be found on the black market, but during the time, anyone could get it cheaper when it was buyable from a vender.

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

In addition to the mount on the store not being the item you purchased in BfA, I am quite confident that their statement said the mount would be removed from the vendor and put on the BMAH, not that it was forever gone.

Furthermore, once you used the item, it would become non-refundable, unless it was already non-refundable on the purchase window. A GM cannot bypass that.

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

@Monkinaround-cenarius

Since they stated at the time this mount was limited, not coming back, and that they would not have something like this in the future

They didn’t say that.

[Zenjy-nesingwary]

Do you mind linking to said statement? Could easily be a misunderstanding.

[Monkinaround-cenarius]

At the time they did say this. They did indeed say that that it could be found on the black market house later on but I would argue that doesn’t change the original statement that they would not have a mount like this in the future.

Looks Like the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur might Be Unobtainable In 9.0.1 (Part 1)

Hello! Yes. About that … Like all dinosaurs, the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur’s days are numbered. I can confirm that when Shadowlands goes live, the shady vendors Talutu and Tricky Nick will cease selling it. Their other offerings – the Lost Platysaur pet and the Palehide Direhorn mount, will remain available for purchase. We will make sure that the unforgettable Brutosaur mount is added to the lists of possible items that are sold in the Black Market Auction Houses. And of course, this new Achie…

Tricky Nick and Talutu are certainly not selling the Brutosaur.

[Mairek-medivh]

It’s a different mount, so any statement related to the Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur does not apply to the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur. So there is no false “advertisement” as you so claim.

[Monkinaround-cenarius]

Tricky Nick was probably the one that helped them cook up this outrage though…

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

You can always rest assured that there are two constants:

1. There will be outrage, always.
2. The NPC did not make the new mount model. Because they are NPCs. Not people

How to acquire the Brontosaurus Mount was changed in patch 9.0.1 (pre-release for Shadowlands).

Here is the Wowhead announcement that contains Blizzard OFFICIAL announcement for that patch:

World of Warcraft Shadowlands Pre-Expansion Patch Notes - Patch 9.0.1

Now, look under the section that says Black Market Auction House and you’ll see the following:

• The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is no longer sold by vendors and will now be occasionally available on the Black Market Auction House.

It says nothing about going away forever.

@Monkinaround-cenarius

Where do I apply for a refund for the millions of gold I collected and used to by the Dino mount now that Blizzard has went against their statement that this mount would not return.

While it seems the older thread is not available anymore, I luckily grabbed a screencap from one of our SFAs that I pull out every time something new is a Twitch Drop, Prime Freebie or goes up on the Retail shop. Then folks start getting all bent out of shape and upset. You’ve had use of the mount for years and likely have remade back what you spent on it over time. There is nothing to refund, no compensation due to any player.

Does this new mount in any form change the way of how your current mount functions? Does it not summon anymore? Are you not able to access it’s vendors any longer?

You’re not going to see a refund. Just that simple.

[Vrakthris]

I don’t recall that ever being stated, I would be interested in any link you may have to an official statement that said that.

Either way, we do not provide reimbursements or refunds for content updates.

@Monkinaround-cenarius

Blizzard has went against their statement that this mount would not return.

This was never a statement. In fact, the statement was as follows:

@Kaivax

We will make sure that the unforgettable Brutosaur mount is added to the lists of possible items that are sold in the Black Market Auction Houses.

[Kaleberry-kul-tiras]

As it shows above, it’s been available this entire time.

I have seen comments where they did intend it to stay a bit more rare than something like a repair mount, and I do believe that will still be the case. 90$ is a lot of money for some people, and not everyone is rushing out to buy the mount.

[Pööh-garrosh]

@Vrakthris

I would be interested in any link you may have to an official statement that said that.

The closest I found was this:

@Kaivax

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

$90 store mount may not be as common as a repair mount, but they’re definitely gonna be a lot of 'em. So maybe the new mount kinda goes against the spirit of that statement. Anyway, that’s what I found.

To the OP, I personally don’t care about the “depreciation in exclusivity” of my old Brutosaur, but I can understand that you and others might feel differently.
