Why is the white armored griffin 19 times more expensive than the other armored griffins?

There is no discrepancy in their unarmored counter parts.

By making the price higher it will be more rare and therefore more special of a mount to have.

We need more gold sinks like this.


Q u o t e:
Aren't you the dude that ninja's the brewfest mounts that you already own just to sell back to players, and you consider this a generous act?

But then the conundrum arises where if everyone has easy access to the mount, everyone would think that everyone else would buy it, and therefore nobody would buy it, so that only a few people would have it.



..or am I thinking too much into it?

Apparently quoting CM's gets your signature removed by some angry CM protectorate so I'll quote myself

Definitely thinking too much, but I guess you can boil it down to everybody can perceive things differently. Either way, it's there if you like the way it looks and/or just really want it. I recommend the traveler's tundra mammoth for uber-nerdiness or the hog/chopper for style points.

It costs more to make it rare and because it is rare people will pay more for it!

Kinda like DKs - everyone could easily make one when WoTLK came out, so people assumed everyone else was making one only a few people actually made one...heeeeey, waaaaaaait, that's not how it works at all!

It's not an expensive status symbol without a brand logo, in my opinion.

I kept reading this line again and again, it was like I couldn't stop and my head almost exploded.

Anyway, I'll just say 'sure' to your statement.

Doesn't help that they were the 310% flyer of classes accessible to everyone until a recent round of nerfs when they were made something closer to 280%.
