A WoW player discovered two highly sought-after mounts, the Swift Zulian Tiger and the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur, available for bidding on the game’s Black Market Auction House. These mounts have become prestigious status symbols due to their rarity and unavailability. The BMAH allows players to bid on exclusive or no longer obtainable items, making it a valuable tool for collectors and completionists.
The Swift Zulian Tiger was removed from the game in 2010, while the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur was taken out in 2020. Both mounts hold immense value within the WoW community, and whenever they appear on the BMAH, they come with a hefty price tag. In this case, both mounts were listed for 9,999,999 gold, which is the game’s gold cap.
Reaching the gold cap is not impossible for diligent players who utilize their professions effectively. However, serious collectors who closely monitor the BMAH will always have an advantage in bidding on these items. Since the gold cap cannot be exceeded, the race to secure these mounts becomes a matter of being the first to place a bid.
This situation sparked a discussion among WoW players, with some suggesting that the gold cap should be increased to 100 million gold instead of the current 10 million gold. They argue that if an item is purchased for a significant amount, it should be made available again in the next round of items, as it clearly demonstrates high demand and serves as an effective gold sink.
The Black Market Auction House was initially introduced in 2012 to remove large amounts of gold from the game’s economy. However, in recent years, the value of WoW’s gold has significantly inflated, rendering the BMAH less effective in achieving its intended purpose.
