Just saw this topic on the US forums
Guess we know what kind of goldsinks we get in the future.

Well you paid to get title in TBC with shattered sun offensive . you could spend 90k to get curve right now there has and always will be goldsinks and much needed ones and tbh this is rather cheap.
Seems like an achievement Iâll never get.
Unless an achievement rewards something interesting, theyâre of zero interest to me.

I remember that, it was 1,000 gold, itâs probably still there (havenât looked for a long time). I never bought it as that was a lot of money back then, now itâs the reward from a WQ.
I still donât have the Yak mount and itâs 120,000g which I still think is quite a lot of gold, especially for a mount Iâll never actual use.

I got it a few years back, so itâs probably still there. Donât remember if itâs exactly 1K gold, but probably. It was certainly pricier than me being able to get it during TBC at least, though I did do the required rep at the time.

Thatâs a rather expensive Thank You card.
Personally I hope whoever designed this is sitting back laughing and laughing at the hand grenade he threw into the community.
I know I would be.
Hey 70k is cheap compared to others XD
At least they would add a mount or a full set tmog and then it wouldnât be so hysterical.
But such cheeky/disgusting goldsinkâŚ
Even the 100th recolored scarab mount was disgusting for 1.2m gold and the other trash cosmetic items for hundreds of thousandsâŚ
I think it wouldnât hurt to fire a few more people.
Blizz def needs give out a better reward if they expect people to do this.
10 achievement points, what an insult.
5 achievement points or no deal.
Of all my mounts, the yak is probably the one I use most. I bought it during pre-patch (to replace the mammoth) because I couldnât handle another levelling grind of running round in whatever gear I looted and only being able to mog if I went back to the main hub. Shallow, I know, but âlooking goodâ while levelling is the only thing that makes it almost bearable.

I got the transmog toy which lets me refresh my look although itâs on a cooldown. Iâm not that fussed. Also I tend to use heirlooms while leveling although Iâve not updated them since Legion so they only go to 44 or something.
Iâm still not over the fact I paid for this on top of the rep grind when I never use it

Could pay homage to The Beatles with an achievement- 'Canât Buy Me Love â

50k just accumulates if you do a bunch of random content. I could go fly in waking shores for 10 minutes to make 8k ish gold from tuskarr tackle boxes along the river there.
The world quest in ohn aran plains at the arena when it has gold as a reward will net you 1810 gold if you do it in warmode. thats 1810 for killing 1 elite that any level 70 in dungeon gear can solo easily.
Dragonflying world quests reward a bag that contains roughly 520g for 1 minute of flying around. So just doing some random content (granted it might not be the content you like to do) will reward you with 50k very easily and rather fast.
People that say 50k is ânothingâ dont usually literally mean nothing but itâs not an insane amount of gold.
i really dont understand. its such a small amount of gold. its weirdly time gated.
is there more to this than just tiny bit of gold? seems to small. for a gold sink

I donât get it either. If in some way they could translate it to an actual money donation to a good charity (blizzard buying tokensâŚ? I dunno! Lol) Iâd think it quite neat and would happily contribute.
But just for an achievement? Um what? Iâm confused!
