I bought it with WoW gold and so can you
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?
Why don’t you post on your main? 
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 should have been $900
Then it should be obtainable without a $90 price tag or using tokens. You just proved us all right with this response.
It should but it did not happen. But it will land in 5-10 years on the Trading Post, that’s for sure.
Or they could have listed the OG bronto on the traders post this month. This is my point.
You’re expecting reasonable and intelligent decisions from game director Ion Hazzikostas. He is not known for this.
I wouldn’t mind a Calia body pillow tbh…
I’m all for making a bag but they are obviously using nostalgia and the fact most of their player base are people that have bases most of their social interactions around online strangers to pump money. Eventually the well will run dry and you will just have a game of whales. That will last all of two seconds compared to twenty years
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?
I agree - but this is not what is happening and money talks. Again - I don’t want to be a hypocrite because if I was in charge I would be all for this if it was making me rich. But slow and steady wins the race. The quickest way to your destination is slowly. This is bullsh.it
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.

The mount is not a QoL improvement.
It’s a very obvious problem, let alone such a lack of one we be italicizing to emphasize it lmao
Wut?
