Good, can we also get rid of that stupid idea of removing the mount?
(TBF idk why people though they were gonna remove the NPC from the mount…)

TBH I don’t use the AH as often to see any need on this mount. I love my Yak, though, cause I use the transmog npc all the time.

Some people asked for a recolor with no AH. Somehow that became “they are removing it from the existing one.”
If they added one with a Barber, people would empty their pockets for it

No there were people malicious trying to spread the rumor the auction house was actually being removed, they said it was ‘datamined’ the same time but always refused to provide a source.
Yea, I’m just saying that there was a legitimate request at the beginning before the trolls got to work.
They were two different things. There wasn’t confusion. It was deliberate.

I’m not arguing with that, just pointing out that they have to ruin the request by trolling. Now anyone that makes that request will just be associated with the trolls.
They weren’t going to give you a recolor of that anyway. They stated for the spider mount they would be trying to keep those originals and since the AH mount cost a lot more the same would apply.
Things change. The yak is still available while the brutosaur won’t be.
There is no reason the next mount collector achievement couldn’t have a recolor with no AH.
Yak was 100k gold not 5 million. And yes there is a huge reason they shouldn’t give recolors of this, because some of the people who are buying it aren’t buying it for the ah function but for the original and unique look.
They only told you it was staying. They still might plan to remove it.

That’s debatable and quite subjective.
I also don’t subscribe to the school of FOMO artificial scarcity. That mobile phone idea can DIAF.

No artifical scarcity involved. As many people can buy it for the next 9-12 months as want to.
And after that it will be gone.
Do you not know what artificial scarcity means?

Do you ? It isn’t going to be gone. Everyone who wants it will buy it in BfA and if it comes up from time to time on the BMAH later you won’t have all the people with gold bidding against you.
Do you seriously think it won’t go to gold cap every time it appears? Because it’s going to. Especially if they intend to turn the inflation back on next expansion.
And it is 100% artificial scarcity. They are removing something desirable for no other reason than because they want it to still be desirable. When they took those store mounts off the store last year it was the exact same situation. The only reason to remove these is to get people to commit to buying them before they go away with the reasoning that they won’t be able to get them later. And oh by the way you can get it by giving them an obscene amount of money.
This is exploitative game design. I don’t understand how you can’t see that.

I think you are the one that doesnt understand, its already a really expensive mount (and god know how much it will cost in BMAH) but now only one single person will be able to buy it when its available, which like most stuff is really low chance
They are creating false scarcity by removing from the vendors since later on it will be considerably harder to get, so its basically, get it now or good luck later.
And of course the fastest way to get it is by buying tokens

lol, no that isn’t the only way you can get it. The people who this mount was intended for - people who work at making gold over a long term - bought it or will buy it with gold.
I am guessing you aren’t the target market so maybe the only way YOU can get it is buying it with real money.
Because it isn’t. This is a luxury item and there is absolutely no need for you to have this. You have managed to play just fine without it and you will continue to do so.
Such was the case for the Mammoth, the Yak and the Spider
Yet they havent been removed, give a reason why the Bronto which is exactly the same is getting removed outside that its just pure greediness from Blizzard
