I'm surprised some people are so excited for it. Its a re-skinned/slightly re-modeled gryphon mount.

Well, there's not really THAT many ways for a creature with wings, to flap it's wings...

I can't wait to pay $25 on a mount that everyone else will have!!

We will look so cool on our $25 mount!!

See you in the capitol cities on our $25 mounts, cause we can't actually raid and play the game, we need to purchase mounts!!!

See you there!!!

I'm going to have a wingy mount and it's going to be awesome and I'm going to hug him and love him and name him Aslan and pet him and buy treats for him and he'll be bestest friends with my protodrakes and netherdrakes and frostwyrms and regular drakes that are just regular drakes but are just as awesome (they have self-esteem issues) and I won't ever have to ride that ugly-ass clunky wyvern again yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Blizzard should remove all raid mounts and make every mount 100% common to really give raiders something to QQ about since obviously they do not appreciate one single raid given to them nor the "Gear" they cried about all through wrath about, and seem to only give a hoot about the mount they can get from it. :]

Way to generalize the community, you must be a STRONG person AND player.

I can't even believe you'd spend so much RL money on a few pixels in an attempt to bring down the people you so obviously envy. Says more about yourself than the people who prefer riding a mount they progressed months for, rather than whip out their creditcard.


I'm not gonna judge people who buy the mount (ok, I may a little when our guild starts making jokes about TRL, TRH was getting old, not to mention more rare), you should do whatever the heck you want with your money. I do judge the Blizzard Store selling pixels, though. I like the plushies. Being an avid plushie collector, sure, the pets that came with them I didn't really care about. But 25 dollars, or even if it'd just be 5 bucks, for something that really, really, should be available ingame through ingame gold or better yet, through some accomplishment... Just no.

I might buy the mount if I feel like it. If it's charity, then sure, what the heck might as well. If it's not I probably won't feel like it.

Who the hell cares if you spend money on it or don't spend money on it or if everyone has one or if they don't. The point is if you like it and you want it. I bought my celestial steed and I am very pleased with it. Anyone who whines at me about it can just listen to me /mountspecial for the next 10 minutes or I'll just "umadbro?" and ignore.

I just don't understand the uproar from people. It's my money, if I wanna buy a solid gold curtain for 10,000 dollars then I will.

*cries*

I already have the "Tears of Noobs" to ride. Now I want this for my Witch(unless Blizz decides to sell a perma broom for her.)

{Yes, it's for the "So happy cheery girly" look for a mistress of the dark WTF contrast}

Now all they need is the Obama campaign mount of a white unicorn that trails rainbows as it jumps.

More Legs Please.

tiny wings lol

I think the lion needs to look fiercer.

The heads a little over sized and the face looks too friendly in my opinion.

By the way, am I the only one with eyes that insist on seeing the lion's head as a humanlike face? When I saw the early previews of it I was convinced it was more of a sphinx-like mount. Kinda creepy..

Too Alliance-y for my tastes. The only Horde race that it would fit is Blood Elves. I guess it's not as ridiculous as some orc or tauren sitting on a tiny sparkle pony.

It's sad, the first cataclysm fly mount with original skeleton it's a blizzard store mount...

Check it out, that gryphon grew a lion head.
Seriously tho, looks great.
(Tho sometimes all I see is a new gryphon skin when you can't see the face)

Original skeleton? It's the gryphon frame.

I will buy one if there is no flodding on the servers this just looks epic!

The mount looks really awesome just one thing that disapoints me. Same flying animation as gryphon.

That mount is cool, except for the idle animations. Ripped straight from the Night Elf mounts. Also, we all know this is going to be more expensive than the Celestial Steed. I'm going to say at least $35 for this one.

i don't care what people say that is 1 of the best mounts blizz has come up with yet speechless

In 2004 I bought an entire world of pixels with real life cash.
In 2007 I bought another world of pixels, connecting my first world. (Again with real life cash.)
In 2008 I bought yet another world of pixels, connecting both my previous pixel worlds.
In 2010 I bought an upgrade to my first pixel world, yes with real life cash.(O.o)
...oh wait, what. Can you buy this mount at the store for real life cash...
People must be really f"#¤ed up in their mind to spend real life cash on some pixels...

And for the record. Yes, I'll buy this mount, because it's awesome.
