An Invincible Bidding War: Is Goldcap on BMAH for Arthas’ Horse Worth It?

Staff's Avatar by Staff

We recently covered a very lucky player getting a rare mount from the Black Market Auction House for very cheap. However, that player got theirs from the mystery box (which was also very cheap, so double luck there), but now we have a real bidding war on our hands!

Why Would You Buy it if You Can’t Even See It?

Ah yes, ye olde Invisible meme. The mount still very much drops from the Lich King encounter in the Icecrown Citadel raid and is actually quite visible. On top of that, it also has a much higher drop rate from the Cache of Timewarped Treasures iconCache of Timewarped Treasures you get from the Ulduar timewalking quest. Add a lot of alts, which many players now have after the MoP remix and the Anniversary XP buffs, and the mount is easier to get than ever. However, it seems some players just want to throw money at the problem!

It’s not quite at the 9,999,999 gold cap yet, but we’re pretty sure it’ll get there. This is a pretty interesting look at how players see the game. Many argue it makes no sense to spend that much on a mount you can farm constantly, not to mention the timewalking cache. Others very clearly either have gold to spare or are just tired of the hundreds and hundreds of runs needed to get the mount.

Where do you come out on this debate? Presuming you had more than 10 million gold (but not much more), would you buy the mount? Or is it silly to spend that much on something you can farm, but also not see a drop for years?
