I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

It is literally earnable in game lol
You can sell gold straight to Blizzard. Even at 360k per token, this is WAY CHEAPER than it was when it was originally introduced for 5 million gold
You can not sell gold to Blizzard
Edit: I stand corrected, you can purchase tokens and turn them into game time, but I didn't know they could be turned into $15 battle net balance. This mount does, indeed, cost less gold than the original Brutosaur (or did before token prices skyrocketed)
I get being upset about it. But, ffs, get some perspective.
Right? Lest we forget about the rapes?
That thing is still earnable every so often in game if you catch it on the black market
Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.
Yeah it's always been a status symbol. Nowadays it isn't even that useful because they put auction houses in the expansion cities anyway, so it's basically just a status symbol for people who spend WAY too much time on the auction house. This mount isn't even half as P2W as people would have you believe.
