There's a new mount with an Auction House on it?

REO speedwagon, heard if from a friend

I heard they’re making a mount mount. It’s a mount that sells mounts.

[Drot-bleeding-hollow]

When I can be mounted on something other than a druid lmk.

[Réynn-emerald-dream]

Why did they remove this beautiful mount again?

[Karmakamelea-daggerspine]

@Wonderclam-icecrown

I hear there’s going to be a new mount that will have an auction house on it kinda like the Brutosaur mount.

The AH mount we have now was a mistake. the AH is literally THE thing that forces us to have community in the open world.
The garrison having an AH was a mistake too.
I doubt theyre going to repeat it a third time

[Alghul-illidan]

I want a giant turtle mount with a village on its back that has the usual vendors as well as an inn and mailbox.

[Ilidaria-anetheron (Ilidaria)]

If there is, then it should be an engineering mount, and BoE so engineers can have something special again to sell, just saying.

[Tridiak-barthilas (Tridiak)]

They are going to make a troop transport so you can fit all your raid into it.

@Rita-velen

That’s another connection to every listing that needs to be made, remember that auctions are special because once someone buys one, other people can’t buy the same auction. It’s not like loading a vendor. And then get 100 people mounting/dismounting over and over, watch the server pull a WOD release.

lol…it’s literally just called a lock…It’s like year one, class one of your most basic programming class. When a resource accesses a variable, access to it locks for others until that initial resource unlocks and allows the next to access it. It’s not resource intensive, by any stretch of the imagination.

Why would it matter if someone is accessing the auction house from a mount in Grizzly Hills - or they’re accessing the auction house from inside the building in Orgrimmar?

You haven’t answered the initial question - of explaining the load to us.

What we really need is a barbershop mount!

Magical flying scissors mount.

@Maizou-proudmoore

Did they ever fix the Brutosaur?

From what I remember in December the last time I saw it takes about, someone posted data proving the mount hasn’t been on the BMAH on any realm since almost 2020.

Can I kindly request that you bring this issue up on the CC forums? I know it may necessarily the proper avenue. Many of us have already filed bug reports on it and it’s still a problem.

It could nicely tie into a “Prioritizing bugs” thread or something of the sort, I don’t know. It’s not game-breaking but it’s a very big deal to many of us because we were told it’d be a part of the BMAH after BFA, and it was, until the “add to bmah container” hotfix on July 14th that’s basically removed it entirely from the rotation on all realms.

We’ve been told there’s no documentation to show it’s been removed, but 7 months later and we’re WEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL beyond “it’s just RNG bro” territory.

It does still appear to be coming from the crates since DFA is still detecting acquisition

https://www.dataforazeroth.com/collections/mounts/1039/mighty-caravan-brutosaur

But that’s beside the point. It was supposed to remain in the rotation and it clearly hasn’t. Spending 500k on a 1/(insert number of items in a crate here, assuming it’s equally weighted) is wrong.

I have to go to booty bay to be able to cancel auctions on flasks of power fast enough. The mailbox being close to the AH NPC is S+ tier. That said, all the people down there are bots via autoclickers pressing two big TSM buttons. There is no community. In fact, any time there’s interaction, it’s unilateral death threats and cursing from undercuts.

I’d prefer being able to wait for rare spawns over being forced to sit in a legacy zone next to a dozen AH bots whose operators are toxic cretins.

The design of forcing people to move to specific zones to utilize the AH is just to gate merching to drive people away from monetizing trades. It’s to encourage pay to winning by restricting AH access.

btw, I have video proof to back up those statements about people being autoclicker bots in booty bay. It’s a problem not being dealt with.

@Rita-velen

It’s very unlikely that there will be more auction house mounts. It’s good that they restricted this mount as much as they did. Do you know how much load that can be on the server to spawn auctioneer NPCs whenever?

Can you post in blue instead of using an alt, if you’re going to make a claim like that?

[Rita-velen]

No, but I can post in green no problem

Everyone calling and dismissing Auctioneers whenever they want wouldn’t be easy on the servers.

[Toresh-alexstrasza]

Either way, the claim that forcing people into legacy zones for community purposes is bunk. I’ve only seen toxicity and bots from that.

[Cailah-dathremar]

MS will move it to the store

[Kittsuera-lothar (Kittsuera)]

I would like a mail box mount so i can pair it with my Long Boi.

[Toresh-alexstrasza]

Yeah, mailbox+AH combo mount would be the next step up.

If they don’t want to do that, they could make a mount where crafting is possible on, and you get like a 50% crafting speed boost when mounted on.

But boy do I love getting FOMO’d for an AH mount that was unavailable already when I started playing WoW. Blizzard out there giving people an unfair advantage if you missed out on playing a prior xpac, when white knights say current game design is supposed to do the opposite.

The real AH pros are in Darnassus and the Undercity.

[Nuamooa-zuljin]

In Darnassus and the Undercity, where no one will ever bother them.
