g*mers will buy this shit then act like they're better than star citizens

Star is more like a promise that somewhere sometime we will get the game we picture based on vague promises.

It's like the belief in God. It's less about the now and more about the stuff you will get in the afterlife. If you are a good supporter, the best will come to you. Just keep believing and spread the word of Star Citizen.

Think no man's sky is great? Star citizen is 10x that, 100x even. The simpleton gawks in awe and cannot comprehend the majesty of Star Citizen. Come back to me after you've read Shakespeare, listened to Beethoven, admired Rembrandts art, and have proven you can understand beauty.

it's less about the now

I think it's all about the now. It's about having hope and imagining how cool things will be once u get the $7000 video game item.

https://old.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/1gb9bf0/no_matter_how_you_feel_about_the_ah_mount_there/?sort=controversial some additional reddit sneed about it

I am a Uni student, with a part time job. I have 'fun money' that I choose to dish out on things I want to that bring me happiness. If I want to spend £60 on a mount, I have every right to. I whipped out the mount in a city and got someone telling me I'm " a ****** wasting money on a dying game".

If you don't want to spend money on this mount, then don't. No one is forcing you too, but don't hate on others for wanting something. I could have easily spent £90 on some valorant bundle and no one would bat an eye.

I applaud blizz for this masterful maneuver.

1. release the Bruto in BFA

  • it's a prestige collectors item.

  • only the most dedicated / degenerate wow g*mers get it

2. vault that shit for 2 expansions. Never release anything similar. Build the hype

3. release a better version for $90 lmao

MMO g*mers deserve this shit and worse.

didn't the bruto show up on the black market auction house from time to time, and always sell for goldmax?

so they probably saw that there were people willing to pay hundreds or even over a thousand dollars for this mount and figured they'd cash in.

do you remember how much it originally was in bfa? I didn't play that one so I have no idea, but there was somebody on my server who had literally 30-40 characters EACH with a bruto mount, he'd line them all up in the main city to show off lol

It was near impossible to get from the BMAH even if you had 10 mil. In all of EU less than 20 showed up over the years and there are way more people willing to spend the gold/money on tokens.

yea I think it was on the bmah

It was like 7 million gold or smth on release.

Important to note if you have enough in-game gold you can buy WoW tokens (1 month of game subscription) with gold then exchange that for blizzard account balance which can let you buy this. This is pretty OP though since having an auction house and mailbox on a mount basically gives you access to every item in the game at any time.

Having so much fake game money you can change it back into real money to buy a fake item that's supposed to be pay2win is :marseybigbrain:

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The real big brain move was from Blizzard though.

The normal sub price is $15/mo. You can buy a token with in game gold (price fluctuates based off demand). The token is good for either one month game time or $15 Blizzard balance.

But the kicker is you buy the tokens from other players, not Blizzard directly. Those players get the gold when you buy a token from them. But to buy the token in the first place (to sell for gold) costs $20. So basically when you turn gold into "real" money, somebody else has already paid Blizzard even more money and they pocket the change ($5).

Sold @hypernovasaiz's Time Lost Protodrake mount back in the day for $3200.

So sad too see how things have gone downhill since then.

you guys are missing the big drama here, lol.

this is a reskin of a mount they put in during BFA that cost gold cap to buy. they made a big deal about it saying it'd be gone after BFA so you better get it now, and tons of people spent a lot of money and time farming it.

then they fricking toss a reskin out for 90 dollars and it's selling like crazy. they just copy pasted some files over and made millions. the 90 dollar price tag doesn't even make any sense, they already had this mount in the game lmao.

This is the funny part, the "limited edition" version from BFA cost way more than 90 dollars worth of gold (yes, there is a direct-ish conversion because of wow tokens). Players who had the OG longboi aren't mad that new players are getting ripped off by a 90 dollar mount, they're mad they got ripped off because it's now so cheap comparatively.

You guys need to remember that the average WoW player is a 40-year-old dad with a 401k.
