With the WoW's 20th Anniversary behind us, let's take a look at some data regarding the most controversial part of the event, the Reins of the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur. Cross-referencing data from Data for Azeroth and Raider.io, we estimate Blizzard has earned over $15 Million with the sales of the golden Brutosaur.
I never got the impression that OF sellers pulled $15M for a “single mount”…if they do… maybe I should quit being a stone mason and shake the ample amount of what my momma gave me…
They don’t. Unless you’re like really high end, and you accept one of those gigs with a Saudi billionaire. But you really have to be willing to sell your body and soul, because they are into some real fucked up shit, not just the regular good kind of fucked up shit.
But doesn’t this make cities which were like social hubs redundant? I haven’t played WoW for a long time and even then not a lot but it was always cool to get to a city and see lots of other players.
I mean yes, but in reality people are just standing in front of the auction house or bank on their new $90 mount.
Also, the game has tons of auction houses in all the different cities anyway. Auction House flippers, can stand anywhere, but players in the current expansion are staying in the current capital anyway (and Orgrimmar or Stormwind). So I guess not really.
I was trying to be a bit funny, little silliness with pointing it out. Clearly my sense of humour didn’t land this time. Fwiw, I gave your other comment an upvoted, I agreed with what you were saying. shrugs

Or embrace the life of the OF creator.

Hmmmm…yeah, probably not then. Carry on with my not very rich but making due with a roof over and 3 square I guess.
I genuinely doubt that anyone bought that? It doesn’t even look that good!
The looks don’t matter, probably very few people will use this to get around in the world.
It has an Auction House and Mail NPC. So you can just stand around anywhere, flipping stuff or buy something last minute before a dungeon or raid.

yes
Goddamn…if WoW has and Action House now… I might have to get a month or two of time. Been about a decade…
oops, typo on my part

Nah, I got that you didn’t mean it seriously, but I didn’t just want to correct the mistake and make it seems like you were talking nonsense.
I appreciate that 👍
So did Kim Kardashian.
People complained when Oblivion tried this
Only legislation will fix this.
If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.
I’m pretty sure Mythic Quest did an episode about this.
