Vendor-mount price comparison MoP to BFA

Picture comparison - https://i.imgur.com/PyrWdB0.png

Why is it like this and why do I feel like the wow-token implementation has a lot to do with the extremely high prices on mounts since it became a thing?

Nobody I know and have asked thinks that the prices for mounts in BFA have been anything but ridiculously overpriced, and they have no chance to buy any of them since the average WoW-player dont carry that much gold.

Is vendor-mounts only going to be a luxury available to those enlisted in boost-groups for m+ or raids, or will we see a change to this in Shadowlands?

Nailed it!

Yay!

That’s just a standard Blizzard recolour, the price hike is due to people having far more gold in BfA than in MoP.

It’s just insanity.

Back when I got my ‘magic rooster’ tgc mount they went for 80-100 euro. Now they go for 10-25 times that.

I am a mount collector and it’s honestly killed off my love of it.

I simply refuse to pay such crazy prices.

yea, unless you managed to luck out ad the end of wod or are amazing playing the AH, it’s difficult to get any mounts any more.

Yes thats what people usually say about this, but do they really? I recall that already experienced AH-players and opportunists were quick to make bank on the garrison and command table in WoD and Legion. But almost nobody I know who play the game casually have those amounts of gold.

And in BFA there has been no means or ways to gather as much gold that they require of you to even be able to buy a IMO ugly recolor vendor-mount that they put up for those amounts.

Unless you’re a hobby stock broker and like to play the AH and flip, ofcourse.

Or if you give in to the system and go buy a bunch of WoW-tokens …

Well, TGC mounts are different since TGC is out of print, which means there won’t be any new TGC code in the market and because the codes already used can’t be resold the number of codes available only decrease, it is normal that the price only increases. When TGC was still being proced this did not happened because there were new codes added constantly, so the price was stable according to its original rarity, now the rarity of those codes it is only increasing.
