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 .
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
