Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur $90.00 Ripoff!

For some reason, even though I was a total dino/reptile fan as a kid, I’m not too crazy about dinosaurs in general in video games.

But I do know that there are many in WoW that would love this Bruto as just a mount w/out the utility - so I’m down for that. If they mimic the 1.0’s coloring, I might even work towards it. I’d love to see it as an in-game reward. Then I feel the Bruto will have covered all methods of obtainment. :smiley:

I thought there are dinosaur mounts in the game like the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex mounts, etc.? There are so many types of mounts in the game that tracking them all is a bewildering exercise.

lmao…this is a HOBBY…NOT comparable to government contracts for equipment that are renowned for paying way too much money.

Again…HOBBY…no one here is required to pay a dime to this ‘scummy’ company as you all put it. lol.
Dont like the cost? Dont play the game. its pretty simple :+1:

We ALL have a choice to pay to play the game or walk away from it.
90 bucks is a bit of $$$ for a mount, Ive said that dozens of times in these threads.
But its the price blizzard figured it would be able to get for it, without driving too many customers off…and its a LOT better than $500+ that the last 5 million gold Bruto would have cost, so many of us are perfectly fine with paying it instead of NOT having it.

Its a luxury item only really ‘needed’ if one is an AH goblin or a farmer who lists stuff all day long.
No one else is gonna miss having it .

I had to admit that to myself over the last Bruto once I realized I DO need it for my game, but its ONLY because I dont really play current content a ton, but mostly farm crap all over the game to sell.

uh…did you bypass the FIVE MILLION GOLD Bruto from like five years ago that people admited in here to literally spending $800 for tokens to buy it? lol.

or are you only counting $$$ spent when its on the store instead of on a vendor?
At the end of the day $$$ spent are $$$ spent, doesnt matter if its thru the token or off the store.

THIS mount was sooooo much cheaper on our wallet. The time to have complained was when the first Bruto was for sale.

Exactly.
And getting 90 bucks flat out for a store mount ends up being a LOT cheaper than trying to get the tokens paid for to get 5 MILLION gold.

I could take the whining about Bruto 2.0 more seriously if they were raging about the first Bruto cost with the token purchases. lol

I got the impression that most of the respondents to this thread had no idea about the situation with the original Bruto mount.

they all know the cost of it…they just werent as upset because it was directly sold for gold so aquired “in game” lmao…so not as much to scream about.

Evidently they dont comprende that they can earn this mount ‘in game’ by farming gold and using the token system for a LOT less work than Bruto 1.0…even though theyve all been told like 200 times at this point.

For those of us who bought it, we just looked at the cost either way its paid for…and this one is like 1/5 the effort of Bruto 1.0, so to us thats a far better deal.

They PRETEND its because its ‘so much money’ but all they had to do was farm like 1,500,000 gold or so in 9 weeks (less now) which is a hell of a lot lower than the 5,000,000 of Bruto 1.0.

At this point I think they just want something to toss fits about…because whether its on the store or for gold in game, because we have the token system, it can be purchased EITHER way…just like Bruto 1.0…with gold or cash.

But even knowing that is cheaper and easier to get either way you get it this time, they still want to rage about it…which kinda just gives the impression that they just want to do the rage part regardless.

So to many people this was a dream come true purchase. I am curious to know what you think Blizzard should do with the cash shop in the future, What types of items they could sell and how these items should be presented so that customers feel comfortable in making future purchases.

Hopefully the next mount is more expensive to weed out the paupers.

100% agree…I am one of them. I got one for my main Bnet and one for this one.
Not missing out on this useful of a mount over 90 bucks, lol.

personally, I love the in game stores.
Im also an ESO fan and they are seriously crazy with their money grubbing, so theres nothing Blizzard can do here thats going to offend me much lol.

I wouldnt mind seeing crossovers…so say the mount is 90 bucks cash in the game store…and then the equivalent in gold on a vendor…so what…maybe 1.5 million gold or so.

I think this whole thing is being overblown by a few who WANT to find something to rant and rage about, personally.

This is a hobby. Hobbies are literally there to enjoy …to blow time and money on…and 1000% OPTIONAL. Which is a detail the raging sorts dont seem to comprehend.

No one has been coerced, threatened or otherwise manipulated into buying a $90 mount.

Theyve been given PLENTY of time to farm the gold for it…or save the cash.

No one is a victim in this scenario…but youd think they were based on thousands of posts over dozens of threads on the topic.

Thank you for your helpful reply.

I’m okay. It doesn’t really affect me in the slightest, I’m just not a weirdo who tries to make everything political lmao

The next four years will definitely be interesting watching the idiots who voted for him realize how stupid they were to do so :man_shrugging:

Reminder: It’s against the forum rules to talk about real world politics. Please Don’t. Your cooperation is appreciated.

This thread should have been nuked forever ago. They’d be doing us a favor by doing so.

it’s only a ripoff if you don’t have a job
and are living on gov assistance or in a basement

lmao…if ONLY we had some historical timeframe / events to draw from that would help us see what kind of leader he’d be…hmmmmmmm :thinking: :thinking:

lmao

that one time we agreed.
know what else would work?
Not posting in it…or…you know…just muting it if its offending you. :+1:

If somehow it was something REQUIRED for our continued existence…food, water, shelter…THEN someone could whine that theyre forced to buy it and being gouged…so yeah…‘rip off’.

good thing this is a HOBBY that no one is being coerced into participating in and they have a CHOICE to buy the thing or not. lol

Cant get ripped off if one doesnt make the purchase lol.

Wrong, I have a job and I can afford it but $90 for a mount is absurd and this is setting a dangerous precedent for future massive price increases on mtx by you whales and people who can’t control themselves keep spending absurd amounts of money on this overpriced mount.

I refuse to buy it based on principle. This kind of thing should NOT cost more than the expansion by almost double, and even costs a few bucks more than the expansions Epic Edition. Who can possibly think this mount is worth it? Just because the original sells for more? That’s also ridiculous people would pay that, but that said, this is now coming from Blizzard and $90 USD ($132 CAD) for a mount is just insane, PERIOD! It’s digital and 100% pure profits so their is no need for this kind of gouging.

It’s a MOUNT, not a game or expansion! It’s literally an existing mount with a reskin selling for more than 3x the price (4x in CAD) of every other mount.

That said, it’s optional and to each their own I guess, but I choose not to support this kind of behaviour. You people who continue to support this is why the industry has been going downhill for so long and why we get nickel and dimed for everything these days. I’ll buy the odd stuff here and there if I feel I get my moneys worth, but this is an absolute hard pass.

now you know that isnt exactly being forthright friend.
This ISNT just a mount…its a mobile Auction House/mailbox…thats not just some new nothing mount that’ll be parked and never used again in a week lol

And the LAST one would have cost you like 500 bucks or more to buy tokens to get the 5million gold.

By comparison, this thing is a steal.
