Timewalking BFA - Brutosaur

How about this idea? When battle for Azeroth becomes a time walking event - why not have the brutosaur return for 5 million or cap gold during the event ? Legion brought mage tower back.

Blizz it’s gonna make you a ton in gold sales and people re subbing to get the mount .

We shouldn’t have to wait a year and a half (at least) for the Bronto mount to be available again.

It should be available NOW!.

U can get it on black market house for only 10 millions, go get it :smiley:

From my understand it’s been seen once in the last year. And is watched by communities and sold for 30million gold (20million finders fee/gold transfer, 10m for the Mount).

“Available”… but not available.

I dont have the Brutosaur to clarify before i say this.

I am all for things being unobtainable in the game, people deserve to enjoy the achievements they have gained.

If we bring Bruto back, can we bring everything back including S1 transmog, Ahn’Qiraj mount etc etc etc etc etc - no point going half, everything or nothing.

I vote nothing

The Bronto is different though. Because the Auction House on it, gives players who own the Mount an advantage over others, since they can use the Auction house and a Mail box with having to move.

In Modern WoW where the only way to make any sales is to keep Scanning Cancelling and Relisting, this is a HUGE advantage. And an unfair advantage because players without the mount are unable to obtain one.

Remove the Auctioneer from those who have the Mount already, and I couldn’t careless about it.

That is absolutely how it works. Great tip.

I would be surprised if they brought back a removed mount (beyond it’s occasional listing on the BMAH), especially one that caused some people to spend on tokens in order to be able to afford it. The sudden discovery that it was going to have limited availability discovered at the end of the expansion caused a lot of gold grinding/token buying.

If they do start bringing back removed mounts, I’d like Tyrael’s charger.

Honestly, they just need to replace it with something similar.

I’m not too fussed about the Bronto model. It’s the fact it’s the only Mount with an Auctioneer which is the problem.

They could have easily added some Time Locked Brokers Caravan Mount with similar NPC’s.

You can earn a lot of gold over the course of an expansion, it would just be nice to have something to spend it on.

How are they keeping it from being sold instantly at cap?

Who knows, I guess they’ll have some arrangement. It’s only been seen once in the past year, so I guess it’s not happened much.

Tyrael’s charger is nice, but it has very strange, stumpy legs, as someone who very much loves an equine aesthetic, that mount bugs me no end.

He/she should be elegant, imposing, with beautiful proportions.

Instead it reminds me of my Shetland pony Teddy, who was very much loved, but was reminiscent of a Thelwell cartoon!

That with all the glossy angelic add-ons just looks incredibly incongruent (grins)

For 5 million TW badges?

You claim it is available with infinite stock at the BMAH???

Sounds fun. As long as there’s a gap between it, just label the thing as counterfeit and we’re good to go. People still get the gloating of “Oh hey I got the original” and you get a cool transmog.
To be fair though, I’d say pvp mogs should be something like the savage saddle. Just add savage armor.
Likewise you can buy challenge mode items for valor when you hit ksm and get your mount.

I actually really like that idea. Though can we add some more discontinued stuff for TWbadges to?

The reason the mount was removed was that, I believe, Blizzard pretty much instantly regretted adding it.

Whilst a useful gold sink, it’s presence ‘shrunk’ the world further by adding yet more functionality to out in the open world and away from capital cities. In fact I would attribute the addition of auction houses to the capital in Dragonflight as a reaction to the Brutosaur, they have ‘given up’ somehow in trying to keep Orgrimmar and Stormwind as unique hubs for the AH.

But I would be exceptionally surprised if the Brutosaur or a similar mount ever returned in future.

I dont want the mount to come back either. It was there for a limited time (though nobody knew about this) and its had its time. What I would like to see though is engineering to become a viable profession again. Give them the recipe to craft a mobile auctioneer that can be bought and sold on the AH without a time cap on it of course.

Challenge Accepted!

If that were the case, then why not just replace the Auctioneer with something else?

That’s because half the time the only AH they have is restricted to engineers. So you need to go all the way back to Org, then all the way back out.
Instead of just adding a AH open for the current expansion in the current area.

Better idea, remove the gold price and have it as a rare drop.
