    It's pointless debating it though, we all know once 20+ players have this mount on a realm it's suddenly less "cool" and people forget about it.

    Again, the spider mount, specifically, has nothing to do with Blizzard selling gold. They aren't giving tokens away, or selling them at a loss. They profit every time a player buys gold.

    There is no conspiracy theory. Blizzard wants players to purchase gold, otherwise, they wouldn't be selling tokens.

    The only thing that has and ever will control the amount of gold is the cap. No matter how many sinks you put in there will always be those at the cap pushing inflation up and up.

    the only people which have a problem with this are those who are against people being wealthy and showing it off, ie: supporters of Bernie Sanders

    Thing is the stance of price isn't clear cut, there are people that will be objecting to the cost by itself regardless of what the mount is, but also those that take issue with a unique mount being behind such a paywall.

    We got so many reskins in WOD of boars, wolves, and elekks, but as the game currently is we have 5/6 world mounts that are insects/arachnids. All of those require rep grinds to Exalted or are a store bought/Arch grind with rare drops. If they add another spider, that may be fine, although it will then likely completely demolish interest in spending 2 million gold for one.

    If one is added, it will also depend how you get it. Exalted reps might work, but they've said rep grinds won't be that bad this expansion. Rare drops would also work, since people still farm Slabhide and others for drops.
    If you set a man a flame, you keep him warm for a day. If you set a man aflame, you keep him warm for the rest of his life.

    Have any devs actually confirmed that's how it's going to be priced on live ? If not... Well you know it's Alpha and those sorts of things change on live, right ?

    Newsflash. Gold could be seriously inflated as well with the new cap. Still 1 mount for that price is not an issue. It's one out of many.

    Good. Nice to have a mount that takes some farming to get to. Hopefully the whiny sods won't be listened to. Anyone complaining should realize this mount is not for them. It is for people who play the economy of the game. Hell I'm never getting it because I'm crap at gold making. And if it is an ugly ass spider like people are saying well then there is prettier stuff like the Firehawks and Astral Cloud Serpent.

    Showing off with one of the most disgusting mounts ever implemented to the game. Great.

    Gilneas horses say hai. Oh hey guys and girls here is a brand new faction.... mounts are basically human ones without the saddle/armors.

    It's still nowhere near as disgusting as a spider mount. Ugh. The less people have it, the better.

    The more I think about this topic, the more I like 2 million for the mount. BMAH mounts that are farmable gold cap all the time, and the market rate for the Archimonde mount is 1.5 million. Expecting to see plenty of spiders in Legion

    Except that this mount has no traders or any other special effects like 2+ seaters. And it will be most likely reused in the future. Its like paying 2m for the albino drake.

    Subject to opinion. I think spider and insect like mounts are cool. Grinning Reaver, Amber Scorpion that sort of thing. Like I said I will never buy it because I am not the audience the mount is aimed at.

    Mythic Archimonde (+FoS, Achievement, Monument, Title), Loot, Bonus Roll, M Mount, HC Mount & Ring upgrade are worth 1 Mil. It actually never was more worth - and my guild was the first one starting to sell it, afaik. The price is still stable.

    Spider Mount will always be there, the model will most likely be reused several times... its not even worth 500k in my opinion, and I've 30m disposible gold.
