So buying anything fun is a waste then? Maybe youre just bitter you dont have a lousy $25 to spend on a cool item? Been hearing crap like this for the last 24hrs and its the same crap blah blah blah you spend $25 on a mount in game you guys a dumb blah blah blah. I have a few thousand dollars invested into a car I only drive on the weekends, Im sure people will call me dumb for that too but you know what? its not a big deal to me because its not going to make or break me by the time my mortgage and other bills are due its something I like to do and can afford to do, dont hate on others people ability to buy things. If I didnt spend this $25 on the mount I probably wouldve wasted some other way that would be alot more forgettable

It's my view that's all. Same as it's your choice to spend $25 on a pretend horse. Each to there own i guess. I suppose nuts was to strong a word for this. People have different priorities in life, but I wouldn't dream of spending $25 on a mount when I can get one in game for no cost.
Would have been far better making the horse some kind of reward for questing. Fair play to Blizzard they see this kinda stuff sells so they put it out there.
They must be laughing all the way to the bank :)

Let's see, we all spend 15 bucks a month to play a pretend game where we pretend to be orcs/elves/trolls/cow-man/spacegoats, to get pretend armour to flex our e-peens, grind instances for more pretend horses and pets... you see a pattern here?
All I have to say is I love the Celestial Steed; I've wanted the Horseman's Mount for so long(well ever since Hallow's End came out) because it's a scaling mount, and was the last mount you'll ever need. Now, with the Steed, my low levels can learn it, and just need the riding training at 20/40/60/68/70, and it will scale up through all the speeds.
If you don't like it, that's fine, but don't &*!@# to us because we enjoy having something fun and special in game to use alright?

I kinda feel the same way. Honestly I would like to have it, but I don't want to shell out another $25 for it. I have no problem with people buying it. Heck two of my coworkers have gotten it, but I do not see myself buying one. Now if it came with something tangible that I could actually hold then I might be more inclined to buy one, but for now I will just sit and watch everyone slowly parade around Dalaran

You realize that there are millions (possibly billions) of folks out there that think you and I are complete idiots for spending $15 a month to play a video game?

One thing that bothers me however. Now that it has been proven that a lot of people will spend real money for in-game items, pets, mounts, I wonder how much more this idea will commercialize the game? Will we be seeing coke commercials on the walls in SW pretty soon or will there be new mounts with some company logo on them? Will there be raids that you can only access if you paid a certain fee to get into which drops different or special gear? How about a new Toyota mount that you drive around (without sticky the sticky accelerator pedals)
Would never happen, due to the people who will quit the game; Blizzard isn't stupid(no matter what random bloggers think), and they won't ruin their game like that; if advertisements like that popped up, the entire RP community would leave Blizzard in a second.
I think they would have sold a lot more if this new mount was just a set of arch angel wings. Click, your character sprouts wings out of their back and off you go. Or a jetpack =) which im surprised hasnt been put into the game yet.
God no, no Aion references in our sacred WoW!

It has, if you count the temporary jetpack you get for the ICC gunship encounter :p
Goblins are getting a rocket belt also remember. Just a matter of time. Then we can have engineers with jetpacks going "lol im boba fett!" Because, you know, we need another name that a million people are going to have countless variations of in the game.

Let the haters hate....it just shows their sad & pathetic inner selves when they do. Personally, I'll be buying this "pretend" horse for both my accounts...and the new pet too! So, for those that need to use their toes to count...that's $70 of MY hard earned money...not yours...so quit your b*&%#^'n.
What bugs me about the Blizz Store are the Gryphon & Wind Rider pets and the fact that you can't buy just the in-game pet. I don't want a damn plushie! Would love for Blizz to sell just the pets for the $10 that they sell the other pets for.
