They Need to Put Holiday Mounts on the BMAH!

Seriously, i have farmed Every god damn year! on 5-8 characters since these mounts were made obtainable, and i still havent seen any of em...
These mounts need to be put on the BMAH, ASAP!.
This isn't about me being a "i'm entitled to this give me NOW!" person, i think if these mounts were made obtainable on the BMAH it would benefit a LOT of people..
some people just have no luck with holiday mounts, like me. but would be willing to farm gold for weeks and weeks to attempt to win one on the BMAH.
These mounts would not lose their unique-ness and rarity, as it would still be rare for them to even appear on the BMAH, let alone for you to win it.
I just think it should be possible for these mounts to be able to appear on the BMAH

Why? Even if it was there, you'd know the price would quickly hit the 100k mark and you still wouldn't get it. RNG is RNG.

I think the mount is ugly so I'm not too fussed that I haven't got it over the years. Would be nice to have to add an extra 1 to my mount count but not hugely important.
I'm just so very glad it was, and never will be part of the meta achieve.

I kinda agree. I, too, have been hunting the mount ever since it came out. Before they added this new system of getting goodies from bags for doing it once a day, I farmed it, getting people to come and summon the boss for me, but I haven't seen it drop.
I would definitely bid on it if it was on the BMAH. Gold is easy to get, a mount with this droprate that is only available two weeks a year is worth spending money on.

I think the fact that it's only available 2 weeks a year and very rare (unlike the Horseman's Reins which is very common in comparison) is what makes it so appealing and special. I'm an avid mount collector, I run it every day on 4 toons (if only I had more 89+ characters!) and I'd love to have it, but I'm perfectly fine with it being so incredibly rare.
@Adamsm, do you mean the 1 million cap? I thought that was what the cap was, if it's really 100k than that's pretty terrible.

The gold cap is still 1m, yes. And I'd hazard this mount would hit it pretty quickly. Last time we had an Invincible up on the server where I play the bid for it hit gold cap within an hour or something.

If it meant i had the slightest chance of been able to buy it, after the years of farming and receiving nothing, a month of gold farming would be worth it.

Just because it would be able to appear on the BMAH doesn't mean it would be any less rare, i mean it still has to appear and then you have to win the bid, and if you play on a very highly populated server like me (Ravencrest-EU) then you would have a lot of competition.

Silly question that's sort of related to this thread.
If you put in a maxed gold bid on something, and while you wait for the auction to end you earn a little more gold. Then your bid gets mailed back to you. Do you get your gold back up to max and lose the rest? Or does the rest sit in the mailbox? Or can't you take the gold out at all until you have 0 gold on that toon?

I would assume you'd be unable to loot it until you could pick all of it up, since you can't split stacks directly in the mail. Even if for some unfathomable reason they hadn't implemented a stopgap of that sort so you'd lose part of the gold one way or another a ticket should sort that.

I'm fine with it being drop only. I got the mount last year on my mount collector - I don't know what I would have done if I had gotten it on an alt. I was looking forward to trying to get it on my alts this year but of course with account wide mounts it has gotten rid of that excitement. It's a shame really.

Nah I just meant the bidding would hit 100k incredibly fast then blow past it, meaning very few people would end up with it.

To be quite honest i've been asking around in-game and some people have been agreeing with me about this idea.
Could be a minority, but hey :) positive feed-back is positive feed-back!.
Also another idea i'm getting is to put ALL the holliday mounts on the BMAH
Brewfest Kodo, horsemans reins ect. updating OP.

Yeah but those people would also agree to having everything in game ever on the BMAH at some point too.
I like a bit of randomness / rarity in the game.
IMHO the BMAH just reeks of entitlement, it's one step down from pay to win and does nothing to discourage the illegal purchase of gold from gold sellers.
One could also ague that the only people against this idea are people who are very lucky, collect rare mounts just so they can say "Lol i got this mount and you cant have it, sup bro umad?" those kinda special snowflakes who don't want anybody else to have the things they have

I don't mind them putting removed mounts or the TCG mounts on the BMAH, but those mounts which just happen to have a low drop shouldn't really go up there.

I wouldn't mind them going up there, but I also am not too worried if they don't. I'd REALLY like mounts no longer obtainable to go into the BMAH. Or versions of mounts that are generally one faction only that have that faction requirements. I'd pay a fair bit of gold to use a goblin trike on my gnome.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

Some of the removed mounts like
Swift Zulian Tiger
would be awesome on BMAH.

Again I want somethings in the game to be rare and from one source only, I don't want communism in WoW, sharing the people's love rocket is not something I'm into.
I apologize if this sounds rough, but this has to be one of the most stupid comments I've ever read on the internet. Yeah, because it would definitely be communism to have someone buy a mount (people with good RNG got for free) for hundreds of thousands of gold.
On topic: I don't mind this idea. There are some pretty rare mounts that show up, some even that have been out of the game for years (Plagued proto drake as an example). I don't know what kind of RNG with things on the BMAH other servers get, but on my server we rarely see anything rare. We've so far in MOP seen one plagued proto, one alysrazor talon, one onyxian drake, one alakir drake, and that is pretty much it for rare-ish mounts. So on a server with thousands of players this is a drop in the bucket, far from the "game breaking" thing that people were crying about before MOP released. Our server has sooo many people with old meta drakes, no-longer-in-the-game mounts, tcg mounts, holiday mounts, half of the people in Org float on rare hard to get mounts, so one more person getting a rare mount in half a year (that's roughly how long MOP's been out) is not even remotely noticeable.
People like to act that BMAH is like an unlimited supply vendor where people can buy rare mounts for peanuts. They forget two things: 1 mounts show up extremely rarely, 2 on any server with a decent population they will be sold for large amounts of gold. So I really fail to see how putting several more mounts on the "loot table" of BMAH is going to affect things at all.

Hoping a blue looks at this.
