Unless you were on the BMAH at 530AM EST, you wouldn’t have had a chance to bid on it anyways 
Goes back to the BMAH itself being problematic.

5 mil like it originally was is fine.
It was removed essentially with only a few months notice. We all kind of assumed it would just remain there like the mog yak, so a lot of people didn’t buy it before thst because they assumed they could grab it later.
Blizzard should just put it back on the vendor, it was a scummy act of artificial scarcity.

This is assuming people only wanted the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur for the AH on it. I personally just wanted a brutosaur mount. If there had been a plain bruto mount available as well as the MCB, I wouldn’t have given the MCB a second glance. Though your idea of an AH toy isn’t a bad solution for those who want a portable AH, I still advocate for bringing a plain (no AH vendor) brutosaur mount back to the game for those of us who want a bruto mount.

I’ve said this before in other threads and I’ll say it here again as well:
People who are serious about the AH use a separate banking toon at an AH. Sure, they could use a bruto, or just park a banking toon in Org with access to all the other amenities.
Me personally: I dualbox. One client is always running my bank/trade/AH toon, the other client is for crafting or playing the game.
An AH mount would do me absolutely no good. I just want the bruto because I’m a collector.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard decides to offer a “solution” to this problem by removing the AH from the bruto and making the AH a separate piece of mount equipment.

Gotta say nah to the bruto proposal. Getting to a mailbox is a pain enough already.

No, they would never do that. People paid 5 million gold for that AH mount. And they actually said they wouldn’t remove the AH:

“we do not intend to remove” is lawyer speak for “we don’t plan on removing it, but we’re not saying we won’t ever do that if we choose.”
Note that I said I wouldn’t be surprised. I don’t expect them to, but after what they did to the strider, I simply wouldn’t be surprised. It’d be a dirtbag move if they did.

I’m still ticked about that one.
Yeah, I hear you. They can do some really low stuff while telling us it’s the best thing for the game. But I would be less surprised if they brought the MCB back complete with the AH vendor (think mage tower) than if they removed the AH from the ones in game. Totally agree that removing the AH would be a dirtbag move.

I get where you are going with this but unfortunately in the end it will only cater to Blizz greed.
Thats the point sherlock. Its supposed to be unobtainable for most people as they stated it being a mistake of even having it in the game.

I mean, anyone who was a dedicated player has the bruto mount. That’s the entire point of this game is to collect rare stuff nobody else has.

Or who had the cash to buy the tokens to convert to gold.
I don’t like that word, “dedicated.” I think people who play regularly, but maybe not for hours a day, can still be considered dedicated players.
I admit I wasn’t as “dedicated” as those who worked to buy their brutosaurs. I did not have the time to raise the gold in the time-frame Blizz gave us. If it had been announced at the very beginning of BFA that the MCB was time-limited, I would have been fine with that. I would have known from the start that I couldn’t get that mount and I wouldn’t have wasted time trying to get it. Changing the rules in the middle of the expansion was a nasty move on Blizzard’s part, as far as I’m concerned. They should have put an alternative brutosaur on the vendor in place of the MCB (one without an AH) to make up for their lack of planning.

You had a year to get it, I sold AOTC carries for like 2 months and bought it.
Oh, sure. You totally know my situation and everything. Obviously I had a gazillion ways to get that mount and I just didn’t bother.

I’m sure you can admit it was a scumbag move to wait until its removal was datamined and outed by a 3rd-party website before they bothered with “Oh by the way…”.
Considering there was at least 1.6 mil in other goldsinks with BFA, I’m certain there were players that were buying the cheaper goldsinks prior to the removal announcement. 1.6 mil they could’ve saved for the bruto had they known before 8.3 that it was getting yanked.
Not to mention the other goldsinks in the game, such as the 500k legion flying suit mount, etc.

I wouldnt have minded one at an appropriate size, ie a scaled down bronto, like a baby one. I truly think its too big, its just visual clutter. I see Horde characters using that upsize toy or whatever it is and they are just huge and intrusive. Im glad in a way that it isnt available anymore for that reason. If they released a mini bronto mount just as a mount, I happily go for it.

I would rather they just put a new high gold mount in the game.
The intent was for people who already had the gold - accumulated over a long period of time to get the brutosaur not for people to pull out the credit card and buy it.
People had 2 years to buy this on the vendor.

that wouldn’t go over well considering people who went the real money route spent $500.
Who cares what some people spent their stimmy cheques on, it would be even funnier if blizz put it on the store for $100 just for the reason you stated.

I personally don’t care about size as much as model type. I wanted a sauropod mount. There are lots of different ones already in the data base. Blizzard made only one available in the game, and then removed it. I’d be delighted if they put even a mini one back in the game.
