WoW Gold > Tokens > Battle.net Balance > Your shiny new Gilded Brutosaur
It currently costs around 5-7 tokens. Which puts it at an equivocal value of around 1-1.5M gold. By comparison the original brutosaur was 5M gold at a time when the WoW token got you around half of what it does now.
So let’s lay this flat out- you’re upset about a mount worth 1-1.5 million gold that can be purchased that way or with real money
Were you in as much of a fit of rage when the brutosaur was a limited time-only mount for 5M gold and would’ve cost comparatively around $550 worth of WoW tokens to get?
Well I don’t know where the OP was. But for me I was not even aware of this? I am shocked that people would pay $550.00 for an in game item? That’s just plain crazy!
The Original Long Boi of BfA was NEVER listed as a limited time only mount ever…it only became time limited cause Blizzard wanted too sell more tokens and say it as a great way to boost Token sells…then the made up lie that they didn’t want to see masses of AH mounts all over the place gotten proven a lie by bring in this new Long Boi…but again the First one was NEVER listed as Limited ever… this new one yes it is listed as limited …
After reading this thread, it got me thinking about the days before the Wow Token was introduced. I remember Forum members complaining about the illegal gold farmers that were from other countries and were using all kinds of bots and third party cheating apps etc. to farm millions of in game Wow gold. They had their own websites and would sell gold to Wow players and sell also in game items and boosts.
I am just curious to know just how much real world money the Wow players paid these illegal gold farmers in those days?
This is what happened back in BfA. That’s also why it is ridiculous to blame the 70€/$90 brutosaur buyer. The mount is a great deal for what it brings to the table in the long run, if you are going to play WoW for years to come.
It’s easy to reinvent the game - but it comes with great costs. I’m okay with “whale mounts”, as long the game is actually developed and improved. Imo they can bring out every quarter another whale-mount, as long they update the old polygon models for the whole game.
The only problem everyone truly has with these mounts is: Is the money used to develop the game?
Don’t blame Blizzard. If you could sell a pile of ur dogs crap to ur neighbor for $90 would you do it? Yeah, you would. Its directly the fault of the players that these business practices exist. Honestly they should have priced it at $600 , people still would have bought it lol. As long as the game doesn’t turn into a korean p2w grinder, I couldn’t care less what they put in the store for convenience or cosmetic. $90 is nowhere near whale territory. Whats hilarious is that the xpac cost less than the mount tho, thats real comedy. The literal game is cheaper. LOL!
Where were all these people when the original sold for 5 million gold? People were buying and selling tons upon tons of WoW tokens to make the gold to buy one. How is that any different to today’s? (except it being much cheaper and better). And just like today you don’t need to spend a cent to buy it, like the original farm up 1.2-2.2 Million gold, buy tokens, and trade for Battle.net balance.
you mean your problem of hypocrisy where you spend your $$$ and time wasting away in video games then have the abject AUDACITY to criticize ANYONE for ANYTHING they choose to do in that same game? L M A O
oh…really? lmao
you all provoke, then play victim when you get the reaction your TROLLING got you, lmao
like the ENTIRE GAME YOU ARE PAYING FOR doesnt exist
Says the joker living in a FAKE digital world paying money for it every month, then is intellectually dishonest enough to aim their hypocrisy cannons in everyone elses direction lmao
this kiddie psyche crap stopped working on us all when we turned about 14, son…lol
Try it with your friends…maybe it’ll work on them
This is a really BS take. My wife and I make good money, but we don’t see the value in paying for a mount the same price that was paid for the entire game. It’s just not worth it to me. I can understand many people feeling the same way.
I don’t see you trying to make a reasoned argument for the mount, you’re just wanting to stir people up. That’s not cool.
