Iâll still proudly ride my longboi around, even though itâs now the âpoorâ one despite having a higher price tag.

Imagine believing in these 'promises" only to realize they can go back on it anytime for greed and $$.

They actually did after it was introduced. People have been linking it all day. Blizz promises arenât worth anything tho. I am still waiting for the promised dance studio from wrath.

Yup they didâŠsort of. But of course Kaivax isnât CEO nor in any position of power to have said such a thing to begin with.

Theyâre salesmen and theyâre selling a product. If people want to buy it, thatâs what it is.

it was a ridiculous âpromiseâ that should never have been made in the first place.

I was there when Kaivax posted this, and it doesnât say, anywhere, that they âpromised it would be the only AH mount in the gameâ.
You all made that assumption, and jumped the gun. Like players always do.
Weâve been at this since 2019 lol and it is still being debated.
EDIT: WHATS MORE: You ALL saw the different unused models of Long Boi back then. You all KNEW those assets were going to be eventually used. Not sure what the surprise is here lol

It was never written in stone. It should have never been implied by anyone affiliated with ActiBliz. We all know things change when money is to be earned.

If they promise it they will break it.
Itâs the worst but also best financial decision Iâve made in months.

Sort of is a huge stretch. They just said they donât want it as common as repair mounts, and as this bruto will be off the shop come january, itâs still gonna be the case.

To be fair, they donât promise that the longboi would be the only AH mount.
They just said they didnât want a future where AH mounts are common.
Maybe now they figured that they wanted money more than they didnât want that future lol

One of the dumbest ideas still talked about.

Times change, and so do minds. For as much hate and vitriol as this new mount is getting, it is probably one of the best, and fastest, selling shop mounts in WoW history. People may not like that they are no longer special with the old removed mount, but Blizz is making a killing and this new cashflow should put Midnight in a better place for content with the money to hire more help.

That was 5 or so years ago, back when Blizzard still had some of the OG founding members on board.
This is now ânuBlizzardâ or âMicroBlizzardâ so all bets are off, you may as well be quoting a promise made by Morhaime himself back in 2004.
What did whatâs his face say? Something about âtimes changeâ and whatnot? I think that fits.
What he said was he didnât want to see a sea of AH mounts.
The $90 price tag is probably going to make sure that doesnât happen. I mean, if you believe all the people claiming to balk at the price.
It is actually a good thing. Now those bad-boys transmog (mop challenge, legion mage tower, pvp elite gear, etc.) all mean nothing to us because the re-colored version would be back someday in the bnet store. And tbh, I would still buy.
