eh well, its too late for me to grind for the long boi so i wouldnt do it for the money in the first place. i mean, sure, the money is nice but i like mindless grind from time to time. 
guess i d just do it for the experience.
Started 8.3 with 60k gold, ended up with a long boi barely 2 months later. You wouldâve gtte it by now with nothing but raw gold farms with a single char if you started when 8.3 was released fyi.
You are absolutely wrong on this part. As someone who has been enjoying the benefits of stuff like the mobile mailbox. I know very well that I will enjoy it. Again. I donât care about the cosmetic aspect of it. There are tons of removed mounts in the game that I donât care about them being removed (coming from a collector with over 450 mounts). It is the lost utility that I care about. And yeah, in terms of gold it absolutely is not worth it. For me however you canât put a price on QoL. I left other MMOs when they started adding QoL stuff behind their cash shops.
You are telling me there are raw gold farms that can give you a longboy in 2 months time? So you were able to earn 83k gold a day from raw gold? Why do I somehow doubt that?
Had to swap characters to reply to you

5 million is no worth being able to AH anywhere, it really isnât. The only people who really care about such a WoL feature would be AH players/goblins who need to regularly adjust their sales, and theyâre the kind of people who wonât struggle to make 5 mil.
The people who have to farm 5 mil purposefully day in day out are not the people who will be getting a huge benefit aside from the mount appearence. I mean HS is what less than 15 Min cd and a portal away from the main hub, and you can portal right back. You can AH after each dungeon easily and lose about 3 mins tops travel time.
Like I get people aiming for it because itâs unique and special but letâs not pretend mobile AH is that big a deal when itâs extremely easy to get to home capitols. Itâs a very small QoL benefit and is largely a vanity perk.

You could make your own group?
Iâm working on âNo stable big enoughâ but that is one mount I wonât be buying.
boosting or multiscum doesnt count dear as only a tiny minority (less than 1% can do that)
oh yeah, but i doubt people would join a druid healer or an undergeared hunter. 
Well you have friends that can fill some of it⌠youâre only killing trash mobs outdoors
i do? /10char
Well you could try forum people or the guild youâre in?
Also welcome to join me sometime⌠I fill 3 slots.
you cant make 10k? thats a huge lie for real! a combination of WoD raids and mop raids net you 10k, if you take the lazy road, or 20k if you put more effort into it, per week. Per character. it is around 2 hour and a couple minutes for the long run and around a hour for the short run. I do that with 10 chars and i make 200k per week.
What i see here is a person who wants a long boi but does not want to do the work for it.
i can make a list for ya all if someone has interest in it

I dont think farming gold is the issueâŚ
My theory is that Blizz said they remove Longboi cuz they prolly wanted ppl to buy a crapload of tokens, cuz Blizz just wants money. As any major company wouldâŚ
If some players have the time/skill/luck or w/e to farm the 5 mill, well good for them. Personally, I dont care, if I want an AH I go to a city, simple as that.
5 million gold for auction house is never worth it for me.
I could understand having it for bragging rights, but for its utility? 5 million gold? Thatâs around 400~500 euros or so.
I agree. every half way organized player does not need the long boi. i just plan properly before i set off to my adventures.
