The Reins of the Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur mount recently launched in China for 888 RMB (around $125 USD), bundled with 2,000 Trader’s Tenders—a stark contrast to its $90 USD price in the EU/US, where it doesn’t include any extras.
Mixed Reactions from the Community
While some players are excited about the new mount that comes with an in-built Auction House and Mailbox, others, like the player who just bought the original Brutosaur (or “longboi”) with 9.99 million gold before this release, are understandably frustrated.
Different Region, Different Monetization
This isn’t the first time China has received exclusive or bundled content, previously, a 6-month subscription there included the Reins of the Swift Spectral Tiger for free.
Would you pay another $35 to get an additional 2,000 Tender?
The mount’s price tag has even led to a noticeable spike in WoW Token prices, as players exchange in-game gold to purchase the Brutosaur.
