Mighty Caravan Brutosaur

A lot of people are going to ask to nerf the size of this thing. I implore you to wait until we see how hard it is to get. If they price it at 5,000,000 gold or something ludicrous like that, it darn well deserves to outsize other mounts.

October 13th 2020.. in a few hours the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur will be removed from its vendor as the Shadowlands prepatch drops. Not really extinct.. but definitely endangered as its numbers will be defined by players who bought it in BFA and continue to play. For new players who come here trying to find out more...

In BFA it was sold by [npc=142691] for Horde and [npc=125879] for Alliance.. for the measly price of 5 million gold. Yes, it was a lot for us.

No longer sold by the vendor after todays reset.. you can still get it.. on the Black Market Auction House. We all expect it to go for gold cap.. lets see what happens.

Introduced in BFA, perhaps a way for Blizz to pull back all the free gold which people made with Legion table missions.. it divided the community in a way rarely seen. Specially when it was announced that the mount will be removed when BFA ends. Buying the mount became a feat of strength.. Conspicuous Consumption

Some had the gold. Some didn't care. Some made the effort to make it. Some said they would've definitely made it given more time. Some even paid irl money (almost 700 USD) to buy tokens thinking they'll make the gold when they get the mount.

As someone who farmed the gold & bought it, I can definitely say it never really helped me make gold. Players who make 5 million have multiple bank alts standing on the AH. Its best utility was for last minute consumable shopping before entering a dungeon, rarely more.

Unlikely the mount model will become commonplace because of it's size.. but I truly hope blizz comes up with a portable AH for everyone. Maybe a toy on a one hour cooldown. If it does happen.. let it be a lesson to not freak out over little things.

If it doesn't... feel free to ask me to mount up when you see me.

Damn you, Gigabear! You just HAD to suggest 5M gold, didn't you. How do you sleep at night?!
