Black Market AH (Reins of the Plagued Proto-Drake)

[Kööna]

Well...it was a big surprise for me to see that on the Black Market Auction House when I logged on today. It's going for 100k gold right now, wich is not that expensive for such a rare mount! : )
My point....IT DOES EXISTS! xD

[Lisaara]

Oh yeah. It definitely does.

Though kinda pissed they're putting back in that way rather than putting it back in Naxx.

[Kööna]

Oh...I hear you. =//
I did wish they would put them back as achievements mounts, but...yeah..Oh well...still nice to see them back in the game!

Maybe when the next xpack comes out the mop black market will remain the only black market and most players will kind of forget about it and diligent watchers can snag these guys cheap. I saw both the naxx protos sell on my server but they went for the max amount, as did the LK mount.

Yeah, we knew that one was a rare on the BMAH. It has been, on and off, for some time. As far as we're aware, the black one hasn't been used that way.

I'm not fond of this method, because it makes it even less likely they'll ever be returned to their original raid, as Junrei said.

However I'm at least a bit hopeful that the new raid mode they're working on, something abuot downgrading player gear to fit old raid levels, might mean they'd be comfortable with adding back some of the mounts they removed. At least if a player did the achievements in that mode they'd be working a lot harder for them. Sorry I'm not actually sure of the details of what they were working on. I only remember seeing it mentioned.

Hmm may have to look at that more often. *rubs chin*

Quick update: the Plagued Proto-Drake was sold for only 225k last night on my server! : )
I do hope people will forget about the BMAH when the new expansion comes out, too! XD Getting all those amazing mounts for only 20k would be amazing!
Unfortunately, the only mounts we seem to be getting on the Black Market are the Green Proto-Drake and the Rusted Proto-Drake ( Why that one??? )...

Yes, Cow. You should definitely do that! haha

Wait, wait, this downgraded gear system, would that be a setting or default (and thus rendering soloing old raids impossible)?

I assume it would be a setting like H or N.

*nod* I'm pretty sure at blizzcon they said it wouldnt affect the ability to solo.

Mounts on the bmah go for alot less than you would think sometimes. Ive gotten 3 mounts off ours which i bought for 210k, 363k and 365k. All things i either worked yonks for and never got or the last one id have no chance at solo.
