Meh, I got one early on from all the gold I had saved from over the course of legion since they threw so much gold my way from the order hall missions + mat and glyph selling. Even with taking a break from bfa for about a third of the expansion I still have a ton of gold with the most on one character at this time being like 6 mil but across my acc is around 12 or so. Even if blizz never announced it was going away there's more then enough time from bfas launch til now to get it. Take into account I work 12 hours a day and really only limit myself to around 1-4 hours of gaming a day for like 4 days out the week. It's hilarious all the excuses people are using to justify their anger over not getting the mount. Personally I don't see any use of it outside of hopping on to sell mogs if I'm feeling lazy or if a friend wants to check the current AH for something like a mog. These days when I have been getting on I've just sat afk in town with this mount up because there's always people who can use the npc like the yak (which I also got easily even back then.)
Not everyone plays the AH or runs a boosting empire. No way you'd get these amounts of gold clearing raids and the usual herb/mining.
I think it's a fine price, the problem is not the price. The problem with a mount like this, is removing it. Give people more time than 1 expansion.
Ah, yes. Artificial scarcity at its best, to remove this mount and throw it on the BMAH for FOMOs sake. Considering I know 2 people who have spent over $500 on WoW Tokens to purchase this mount- yeah, it's annoying.
So many people complaining, you are not entitled to the best mount ever. You aren’t entitled to a Lamborghini in the real world. You can get one if it’s within your means
least its goin in the BlackAH and not fully away :)
They should give us smaller versions of this mount with no ah and shop to buy. Just like they do whith other shop mounts.
I don't recall this mount being available during the pre-patch of BfA. I thought it was only available once you were able to get to Zul/Bor. Meaning this mount was not available all expansion, if they take it down before the new expansion launches. Hopefully, this "extinction event" is noteworthy. I'm thinking there's no event, just another maintenance window and "poof" mount gone. I already have the long boi, so it doesn't affect me, but I genuinely feel bad for the folks that need a little extra time to get the money together.I'm a proponent for leaving mounts in the game. I'm also a proponent for letting folks get their MoP cloaks and WoD rings.
Amazing mount could never afford it sadly with being so busy in life but amazing AH/Gold Farmer mount. Sadly not everything is meant to be obtainable by everyone. Next time maybe some other kind of mount will be in my scope.
