Agreed it needs to come back in some way shape or form. A mount that has utility should’ve never been a FOMO mount.

might see it on the trading post
I’m okay with them getting rid of it… but I’d really appreciate them giving me back the gold for mine, the one I got my wife, and the one I got my son.

I’m almost positive referring to the Caravan Brutosaur as one of the biggest mistakes in WoWs lifespan was actually from an official blue/dev team response regarding the mount at some point. The issue isn’t the bruto itself or the 5 mil but just puting an AH on a mount being the mistake. Also it clearly wasn’t intended to be a gladiator like mount because it wasn’t even stated to be limited time when it dropped. It took a Feat of Strength for the mount being datamined over halfway through the expac and a bunch of callouts to Blizzard/Devs/GMs before they were finally forced to come clean about the plan to remove it from the vendor and even then they stated it would still be obtainable via BMAH and was regularly appearing there until a “hotfix” to it midway through shadowlands after which it has seemingly not appeared a single time across NA and apparently only twice in EU as far as my research has shown
Might surprise you to learn that the Dinobots actually do have an official combiner called Volcanicus! Granted it’s not part of the G1 iteration of the Dinobot team!

Truthfully, I thought there may have been a version that did combine, but I kind of base my thinking off the G1 set.
They ruined immersion in WOW a decade ago.
I’ll never be able to get these things because I don’t have the time to gold farm or AH flip(TSM strings, behaviors etc) but I don’t see the problem with people having a AH Mount…
Personally I’d rather have a portable Loom/Earth Shaper Anvil and a vendor that sold all the DF exclusive reagents, since getting to a AH has been pretty easy for a long time now.

Short notice? You had over a year, and a year after we got the announcement.
Since when is a year short notice.

First off, a year will always be short notice on a 5 million gold mount that wasn’t released as being limited time to begin with. It’s already a massive rugpull, especially for a uniquely FUNCTIONAL mount. If Bruto didn’t have a unique AH vendor not available on any other mount in the game no one would mind it not being available in any way anymore but it does have it and it’s a distinct gameplay advantage/convenience the players that got it can use and abuse, while others are denied even the CHANCE to obtain it even with gold cap on BMAH like we were told we would be. That’s bull.
I went on hiatus from a basically universally agreed upon lackluster expansion long before the mount that was not released and billed as being limited time was datamined and then admitted to be getting removed and regardless it being removed from the original vendor like they said isn’t the issue here. The issue is they told us it was being removed from vendor and brought to BMAH. It was regularly appearing on BMAH across all servers/realms for about a year afterwards (as it should). Blizz released a hotfix they told us was intended to update the empty bmah container to also include chance at bruto. Bruto has since never appeared again on BMAH on NA, only twice on EU, Blizzard refuses to elaborate on WHY that is. This is the problem I and most people have. As it stands and as far as the data shows Blizzard lied to players and went back on their word by either removing it entirely or absolutely gutting it’s chance to appear on BMAH below any other mount available there including others that aren’t obtainable in other ways.
Blizz sid it would be available on BMAH. We want clarification and confirmation on it’s status in BMAH and a reason for why it has seemingly not appeared a single time across all of NA in 1.5 years when it was showing up regularly before the hotfix they released. We also want clarification and confirmation on it’s status from the unclaimed BMAH container because that’s what they said the hotfix was for, yet as far as all my research shows there has not been a single player confirmation of obtaining the Brutosaur that way at all. We just want answers and for blizz to make good on their word.
No damn exclusivity from this Long Boi owner…the dang mount should of never been removed in the first place and I have said that from the day the info about it being removed I have said that all along.
That was an exception, not the norm. 5 million isn’t that much gold for people who farm gold. Especially when you’re talking about an entire year available to grind gold for the mount.
They made the announcement about a year ahead of time. Which meant playing 2 hours a day, and grinding even the most garbage of low effort farms, would have got you the mount.
The bruto was datamined months before BFA launched. If you were hardcore enough you could have taken 12 chars into old raids every week and made more than enough gold to buy it in 6 months. And that isn’t even counting the access to gold missions for those few months in Legion.

BMAH is completely random. By your own admission, it’s still shown up on EU 2 times. Blue post indicates that it’s working as intended.
Once again, the issue here is NOT the mount being removed from the original vendor at the end of BFA. The issue is Blizzard seemingly lying and going back on their word about it being available on the BMAH afterwards post-hotfix in mid shadowlands that caused it to seemingly stop appearing altogether and refusing to elaborate or properly answer the numerous tickets and threads that have been submitted regarding this issue over this time.
Its hard to say… a lot of mounts only show up once a year or so on the bmah.
Has it been looted from a chest yet?
<<<didn’t buy one dang token to buy my Long Boi…I walked into BfA and brought it day one of BfA going live…I had the gold already…thank you…

I’ve seen this a lot from the salty bruto boys. They always seem to think everyone with a bruto only got it from buying tokens.
No answer is an answer.
It’s staying the way it is.

The statistical probability of specifically bruto not appearing at all in 1.5 years across all NA servers, and not at all in the entire last year or so across all EU servers when every single other BMAH item has appeared multiple times across multiple servers in both these regions is basically improbable when it was appearing at the “normal” rate as these other mounts before that shadowlands “hotfix”.
There’s RNG, and then there’s “this thing is effectively not existent anymore, either by way of being shadow removed or by having it’s chance to appear significantly reduced for arbitrary reasons below every other mount/item that can appear there”
How many brutosaurs showed up on the BMAH between removal from the vendor, and the hotfix? I strongly suspect you don’t have numbers, but even if you did, when you’re talking about something rare, and with a time frame as short as between vendor removal and the hot fix, you don’t have a statistically significant amount of data to make the claims you’re making.
If the actual rarity means you’d only see one per year, and NA got 2 in 6 months, but then didn’t see any others for 1.5 more years. Is that still in line with it’s rarity? Or is the drop chance bugged?

Not from me you won’t…I could careless if someone used real money cash and brought enough tokens to buy it…or maybe brought 1 or 2 to boost up their gold amounts…that is their business now …my frost is about how it was removed from the vendor and how blizzard made up response they did for reason they removed it…it was total BS remarks on their part…none of the other high gold mounts were ever removed and still on the vendors.
