Calling people lifeless fatsos who should get out of their basement or whatever? For no good reason whatsoever. He's insulting people for not agreeing with him. That's inflammatory and harassing behavior, which deserves a warning at least. Don't try to make it seem like less than it is.
No. People like the looks. Some people even wanted a creature like that as a mount ever since WoW launched. Like with the bats. People are allowed to want to buy certain things, and much to their chagrin, like them. While still disapproving of the whole store. They don't deserve any blame or insult for just buying something they want very much.
Noone noticed the WoW logo hasn't any expansion subtitle attatched to it in the trailer?
It's like it had been released in vanilla times.
What try? Lol. Of course it is over-the-top. What were you expecting? It's catering to 12+ , and on top of that, everything in WoW is over-the-top in one way or another, so this fits. As silly as it may seem.
And if you hadn't notice, sarcasm doesn't transfer through the internet very well.
How do you give this as a gift to someone?
All these tears.. Makes it even more worth the 20 euro.
Considering mounts are purely for looks (aside paying gold for the specific riding skills in-game, which you still have to earn, although trivial for veterans), I don't see that happening. Blizzard isn't that stupid, and if they start selling gear and shit like that, you know the 'pay-to-win' tide will crush any remaining subs...they are a company that wants to stay relevant in business, and are most likely aware of the "pay-to-win" problem that has caused many F2P and non-F2P MMOs alike to fall.
Mounts, pets, and transmogs I think should be the limits of the store (as they are purely for looks, nothing more). I'm a bit concerned about the level 90 boost if they decide to add that, but it still isn't gear/hard to accomplish achievements being sold. At the end of the day, it is the player's decision if you want this stuff on top of your sub. The perception that you "MUST BUY THIS SHIT!" is clearly wrong.
"This is truly a mount of a conqueror". You get it from paying money and nothing else. Lol.
I can't deny that it looks pretty cool though. Hope we'll this style art for some mounts in WoD.
1. Goddamn that mount is so freaking cool part of me wants to resub now and buy it even though I've just bought 3 mounts (2 on discount) as a christmas pressie for myself, and I currently am suffering from a bad case of RSI so can't even play besides doing the damn Tillers Farm to make money. I'm not going to resub though lol.
2. So this is how Blizzard is thinking of making money while the subs bleed out because everyone is tired of SOO already and nobody knows when WOD is coming out, lol, while a good way to make money in the short term, they are pissing off so many people right now they're gonna regret it. Here's my estimate, at least 2 million less subs by the time WOD comes out. They freaking deserve it too, giving us all this hype since cata about getting more content out faster. Then not even giving us a decent amount of five-mans and even less in WOD considering it's for ten levels instead of five. It's a good thing for Blizzard other companies are unable to make decent MMORPGs lol...
Well sure mod can go ban me like i care. I have lost all my respect to this website because of the fanboy mods that let people call haters "retards" only if they are "fanboys enough".
I wasn't gonna get this intially, then I noticed it has two heads, and it twirls, and it has rocket things. Mine!
Kinda sad Blizzard is doing this. Turning into a micro-transaction company + subscription. Making all the new mounts go right into the pet store. I love mounts but im kinda reluctant to pay for it. I love putting effort in the gamee for this. Farming the Time lost proto drake sort of thing or a rare drop.
I am against the pet store if all the new mounts and pets are from out of game sources. Incredible. I don‘t blame Ghostcrawler for leaving Blizzard. The mentality is turning into money above everything else. Pet store is fine for the occasional mount and pet. 2 mounts in pet store in 1 month time.
People will still buy it.
I managed to buy this around 4am EST before they locked it up and I have to say the mount is pretty awesome. It has custom flying animation and does barrel rolls with jet trails randomly through flight. For me personally, it was worth the $25 I would have spent on 2-3 drinks going out on the weekends. People complaining about other people spending their own money baffles me. The server restarts are either to fix the error with people not being able to buy the mount, or they are going to be removing it from the store entirely. I'm leaning on fixing the bug preventing people from buying it since Blizzard released a video of it for EU servers earlier this morning.
It's $25 people. If you can honestly say you haven't spent $25 on something more meaningless in life, then kudos to you.
Yes. Because that is totally comparable.
In the end, I was not expecting you to go so low to imply that I would have the same thoughts. And I figured it would actually be in context of the game, or games in general.
Passive aggressive smiley in response to yours. Just out of courtesy.
And where is some new content for subscribed customers who pays monthly fee? /disappoint
