Mammoth Buyer’s Remorse
Ever since word leaked out that there was a mammoth mount in Wrath with vendors I’ve been stockpiling gold. When more details on the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth came out (including it’s outrageous 20,000 gold price tag before reputation discounts) I was still really, really pumped about someday buying one.
Well, the day has come where this epic mount can finally be mine but I just can’t bring myself to make the purchase yet. I’m already suffering from a severe case of buyer’s remorse before it’s even been bought.
Do I really need a mount that carries passengers when I mostly play alone? Will this be that useful in a PvP setting like a battleground to justify the expense? Am I really going to want to run around on foot when I can normally just fly everywhere much faster?
The biggest hurdle for me right now is the fact that there is another mammoth option that costs a significant amount less in gold but more in time. The Ice Mammoth from the Sons of Hodir only costs 1,000 gold but requires a reputation status of Revered. Fortunately, I’m only another week away from hitting Revered.
I think I’m more pumped about the concept of a mammoth mount in general than I am about one with on-board vendors and passenger capabilities. I’m going to sit on it for a few more days but I have a hunch that as I get closer and closer to Revered with the Sons of Hodir I’ll go with their mammoth and save my money.
