HOLY SHIT

 

[IDKFA]

As somebody who doesn't play WOW, why is this worth that much money? Does it do anything, or is this just for the flex?

 

[LectureMaster]

Gotta make up the Black Ops 6 game pass loss. China is Whale

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

With how many people bought that other recent mount, it's not a surprise.

 

[Celcius]

At this point why not release a $1,000 mount to make the news and have the whales buy it anyway?

It's pure nostalgia/scarcity. It's an old mount that used to be available as a rare drop in packs from the defunct WoW TCG. The original mount hasn't been available for like 15 years and goes for like $5000 if you want to buy a redemption code for it.

So when is blizzard going to start blaming Bobby on this one?

Wow ... They must be hard up for the quarterlies

Kind of hilarious that this is for the classic nostalgia bait version of WoW.

Just play on a private server and be done with it.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

This is a really great trend.

 

[Hookshot]

I don't remember spectral tiger mounts, nor flying mounts in "Classic" WoW. Assuming it contains the expansions that did include flying that's still a brand new design that isn't supposed to be in "Classic" WoW

Make them grind a Wintersaber like the rest of us had to for clout.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Damn! really gouging them foreign audiences. Its worse when you consider the fact that 1 yuan is 0.14 usd.

 

[R3TRO]

Hory shet.

 

[Lupin3]

Imagine everyone who bought that cheap ass trash dinosaur now. Peasants...

 

[Lillie]

Maybe they would get more people to buy it if they offered WoW sub on gamepass

 

[Barakov]

This is a really great trend.

We're getting closer every day.

I now realize that Bobby Kotick was actually holding back Blizzard's greed. It's like one of my animes.

 

[TransTrender]

Yeah the Spectral Tiger is/was a thing, but $265 for this is really crazy.
I wonder how much of that money actually makes it back to the books in the USA?

Oh I forgot they're owned by MS but I'm still not sure how the money makes it out of there.

Ah ok. That make sense. cause I would had done the same in smite for the thanos skin that come out the first season and I didn’t started playing till season two. Always say, if they would release it again but u would have to pay a high price I would go 200 hundred dollars easy

 

[Calico345]

Remember the time Forza charged $50 for a Lotus in a $60 game that featured dozens if not hundreds of other cars?

I have a Fortnite skin that people message me about. I've had offers of a few hundred dollars for my account because they want the skin lol
