Datamining Implies a Brutosaur Mount May Be Returning to the In-Game Store

Less likely is the the original Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur. Available during Battle for Azeroth with a hefty 5,000,000 gold price tag that put it firmly out of reach for most players, the mount was removed at the launch of Shadowlands in a widely publicized "extinction event." Though added to the Black Market Auction House, it remains exceedingly rare.

More likely is the recent Reins of the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur, which sold for $90 during WoW's 20th Anniversary, making it WoW's most expensive individual in-game shop item to date. Though publicly derided due to the high cost and near-exclusive services provided, the mount proved to be obscenely popular, speculated to have generated over $15 million in sales over the three months it was available.

Imagine the rage if it was the original green one lol.Comment by fatgunnWho cares, honestly? Anybody that was gonna buy it, did.Comment by akaRavenIt was far, FAR more than $15M in sales.

Assuming any data from the last couple of years has been correct, we have somewhere upwards of 7M subs. 21% of all accounts have this mount, that's over $100M USD in sales.

Scummy if they bring it back, scummier even if it's made cheaper.Comment by MysukiBy the way, no news about this year's anniversary event? Last years was THE BEST event EVER!Comment by Craynz1305But didnt they say back when it were in the shop that it were a limited edition mount? kind of scamming those that actually bought it then :DComment by PokitaruDaxxIts funny how many people have problems with the new one and say "Its so expensive"
In every way it is less expensive than the old one and you can "easly" pay it for free with in game gold. Less than goldcap what the original had needed.Comment by ChaxtonStill not gonna buy it. That's $90 that could go towards food, bills, or scalping Pokemon trading cards.Comment by selkiesidheDaddy Microsoft wants more money, they'll put it on the shop for 90 bucksComment by TastelikelemonMicrosoft is hungry for revenue , ofc its gona return alongisde this new "premium currency" for housing , who knows what premium we gona get in the future for extra cash grab :DComment by FuryXHDits close to end of year, so they prob need some revenue number spike.

Imagine the rage if it was the original green one lol.Comment by ApokalipsXIIII hope they reintroduce it for $25 so the people who bought it for $90 feel like I did after grinding it for a year.Comment by SargerasWasRightPut a recolor in the trading post to mock everyone who paid for it.
