Shadowlands 9.0 Mighty Caravan Brutosaur AH vendors gone + no longer obtainable via a vendor

[Redhound-thrall]

There is no wrongful or criminal deception here. There is no difference between this and the special sale of the store mounts etc before they retired them, or a company discontinuing a real life item and auctioning off remaining stock. This is capitalism, not fraud.

[Nobully-blackrock (Nobully)]

you don’t need to listen to me.

…but you should consider that perhaps some of these other people (who have been on the planet a lot longer than you) may know what they’re talking about.

The alternative, is that all these posters all woke up today, and decided to target a random forum-goer, and attempt to convince them they’re wrong about a thing.

Next thing you will be telling me is that ulysses s grant is’t my great great great uncle.

[Fayling-nathrezim]

I’m sure your not much older then me sir.

[Spodge-stormreaver]

I am sure there is a reason, you just not knowing it doesn’t make for a no reason.

I am completely fine with time limited items and everyone who wants it can get it.

[Spodge-stormreaver]

i could be wrong ill know when i talk the the ftc they well set me on the right path.

I would like a transcript of your call there - including the laughing.

[Xíang-wyrmrest-accord (Xíang)]

I looked up a word called fraud and yeah kinda seams like it because there no reason to take out the mount and put it in the BMAH. FTC will be notified even contracts cant break the law…

its getting removed moron lmao
and it’s not fraud

[Sarallesta-shattered-hand]

Last time i checked false scarcity is fraud.

So, please explain how removing a mount from a vendor to be placed somewhere else is false scarcity?

Scarcity is the limited availability of a commodity, which may be in demand in the market or by the commons. Scarcity also includes an individual’s lack of resources to buy commodities.

i could be wrong

Well, I think we can eliminate a word there and really get this right:

i be wrong

…while grammatically flawed the message is now correct.

[Versath-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Fruad wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

Its a digital mount you buy with digital money it isn’t fraud to remove it from your game you would have a leg to stand on if Blizzard said something like “The Brutosaur mount will always be for sale by the vendors” then they removed it but no they are just removing an item from the game it isn’t fruad.

I would like a transcript of your call there - including the laughing.

Bold of you to assume that it wouldn’t just be 20 minutes of laughing.

[Stompypotato-durotan (Stompypotato)]

Fraud? How so? Their game, they have the right to push and pull things out all they want.

[Thereden-dalaran]

Guys. Obvious troll is obvious. Stop feeding him.

[Sarallesta-shattered-hand]

C’mon, we’re waiting for you with replies on where it is Fraud with Blizzards decission on moving the mount from a vendor to the BMAH.

[Spotti-area-52 (Spotti)]

Some of you got trolled hard
And no proof/confirmation on the removal of the ah vendor.
It’s just being removed from the current vendor, moved to the bmah… have fun with those crates I guess … and once in a blue moon posting by mei or whoever is gonna be posting it up to bid on.

[Kiwì-dentarg (Kiwì)]

So, how is moving the Brutosaur Mount from a vendor to the BMAH “fraud”?

I don’t think that was what the guy was talking about. I think he was talking about if they remove the AH part of the mount it could be fraud.

This would be an interesting test for the courts. People could buy the mount with gold, and blizzard sells gold via tokens, so if someone bought a mount using tokens, there could be an argument made that if they were to remove the AH component it could be a bait and switch situation.

I bet that argument would fly in the California courts.

[Karapalas-gallywix]

They will keep the ah. He just lied about it.

[Snikrot-silver-hand (Snikrot)]

How did this manage 15 days without being sucked into the mega topic?

Blizz, clean up the garbage please.

[Rustyus-bloodsail-buccaneers]

What I wanna know is the monk from earlier is still trying to report Blizz to the FTC. They sound like a Karen.

The AH Vendor is not being taken off of the mount:

@Kaivax

@Byucknah-agamaggan

trying to figure out where these people keep getting this idea that the AH vendor is being removed from the mount because that has been said nowhere and yet people are acting like this is common knowledge.

We want to be perfectly clear on this – we do not intend to remove the AH vendor from this mount, especially when some players put in a great deal of effort to acquire this mount specifically for that functionality. Of course, we remember that we removed the Mystic Birdhat’s Reforging from the Grand Expedition Yak, but that was because we removed Reforging from the game.

The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur is something that fundamentally alters players’ flow around the world, and it’s a unique convenience, but it’s certainly not essential. We’ve seen how luxury mounts like the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth started out as something special and rare: a repair vendor wherever you are! They were originally ultra-exclusive and mostly purchased by guild banks for convenient raid use, but then became increasingly commonplace due to gold inflation over time.

We think that a moderate amount of gold inflation is healthy. It ensures that new or returning players can catch up and participate in server economies without having to put in a herculean effort to avoid being priced out of essential goods. In this case, 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.
