What is the most valuable mount in World of Warcraft? I believe that the first thing that comes to mind for many players is the ghost tiger. However, if it is said that the Ghost Tiger Mount will enter the Merchant Stack in the near future, it is estimated that many players will find it incredible.
A few days ago, there was a very interesting revelation in the waifu, the content is based on the latest data mining, showing that the ghost tiger may soon enter the business stack. After this news appeared, it quickly spread before the foreign server players, and it also spread to the national server.
The reason why the Ghost Tiger is precious is mainly because this mount was exchanged for trading cards back then, and there were only 1,000 genuine Ghost Tiger cards in the national server that year. Although there is a chance to get it every New Year, the retention rate is still very low, so that during the normal operation of the national server, the price of Ghost Tiger has been very high, and the regular price is around 15,000.
Due to the large number of ghost tiger cards in the United States that year, the price of the ghost tiger was not high in the early and middle versions, and the ghost tiger can often be seen in the auction house in the 4.0-5.0 version stage, and there have been national players who have spent 20W gold coins in the United States to buy the ghost tiger in the auction house.
With the passage of time, the number of redeemable Ghost Tiger cards has become less and less, and the price of the Ghost Tiger in the United States has also risen, and the average price before the closure of the national service has reached more than 4,000 dollars, and now it has directly risen to 5,000 dollars.
In the face of such a high price, players also have different opinions on the news that the ghost tiger has entered the trading stack:
Some players believe that it is impossible for the Ghost Tiger to enter the Merchant Stack. The reason is that World of Warcraft Director Ion Hazzikostas made it clear in a 2023 interview that the Ghost Tiger is unlikely to return in a promotional way, as he himself knows the value of the mount and what those who own the Ghost Tiger are paying for, and it would be unfair to these players to return at will.
Others believe that it is not impossible for the Ghost Tiger to enter the Merchant Stack. The reason is that since version 10.0, Blizzard has returned a large number of out-of-print mounts in the Merchant Inn, such as the Ghost Gryphon and Ghost Wind Rider in November 2023 and the Fiery Horned Hippogriff in May 2024.
The Spectre Gryphon and Spectre Windrider are just recruiting mounts, while the Fiery Hippogriff is a proper distributed card mount.
The average price of the Blazing Horned Eagle Beast has also reached about 1,000 knives, and Blizzard can let this mount enter the Merchant Inn, and naturally the Ghost Tiger can also enter the Merchant Inn.
In addition, in April, Blizzard also did a survey, asking players if there were only three mounts in World of Warcraft, which ones would they choose? At the time, the out-of-print mounts were at their highest, and Blizzard backhanded the addition of the Fiery Horned Hippogriff to the Merchant Inn in May. If it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental.
As the saying goes: "A few families are happy and a few are worried", ordinary players naturally hope that a mount of the level of Ghost Tiger can enter the store, but for those players who already have a Ghost Tiger, especially those who have hoarded the Ghost Tiger, this change is too cruel
For example, this player who stockpiled 17 Ghost Tigers before the national server was closed. I was very depressed when there was no news about the national service, and I was happy when the official announcement of the national service on April 10, and now there is the news that the ghost tiger has entered the business inn, and the mood has plummeted.
However, at present, this news has not yet been confirmed, and as the impact grows, the foreign server player who broke the news has also begun to "stack armor", so it is still necessary to wait for further news, hoping that the national server has hoarded 17 ghost tigers to stabilize first.
