It's not the same mount. The previous 5 mill gold one doesn't have the same features as the 90 bucks one, afaik you can't buy the 90 bucks on for gold.

You could indirectly, buy wow tokens for gold. Lots did that if you were early, but it quickly doubled/tripled the token price so it was a short term 'affordable' option.

Can you reclaim wow tokens for real dollars in the blizzard shop?

For Battle.net Balance yes. Thats how I got mine. Someone had to buy the token initially so its all the same to Blizzard in the end, but I know a lot of players that bought that thing via gold.

Mid season patch looks beast for easy catchup.



This was a hold out till .5 type of season to begin with based on how poorly reviewed the raid is. The raid was rated the worst raid in recent WoW history.

I said just put the fucking catchup in my hands if you expect me to tolerate a phoned in season. And they are doing just that. Could be enough to get me back for a stint.

It's thematically different but the whole thing is stale as fuck at this point. They don't really do anything new content wise. Even delves are just underground scenarios.

In general, the raid seems both bland and mercenary. That said, I am struggling to come up with a .1 raid people loved - maybe Ulduar? That was a loooooong time ago.

There's not a lot that's mechanically new or interesting, and reusing the zone we've been doing dailies / questlines in for half the fights feels cheap. At least the Gallagio is visually novel once you get there.

But as a completionist, limiting the raid rep to 1 level per week is what annoys me the most. Blizzard is going to get their 5 months of subs and you are going to burn your hours there, even if you were bored of it after week three, goddammit.

Honestly, that subscription stretch rears its head outside the raid too. Limiting the four cartels (Darkfuse doesn't count) to, what, 6k rep a week, limiting your account to one cartel a week, and having paragon bag rewards is a level of sub-stretching we haven't seen since Shadowlands Covenants.

7.1 had Nighthold and 6.1 had blackrock foundry - two of the best raids.

For the new raid - yeah I've played a bit of Undermine and it's a bit meh. Biggest W I've seen is them putting in a universal mechanics visual thing (X is soak, Y is frontal etc)
