Curious why the timing of the release matters in the slightest.
You either want to buy this stuff or you don't. Wouldn't you want the stuff you want to buy to come out sooner so you can, you know-- BUY it?
I see people complaining "TOO SOON" and then saying in the same breath that they're buying it anyway. WAT?
I would think if you were truly indignant, you would wish to speak with your dollars-- the only voice that matters-- and not purchase it.
It's not like it goes on sale for a week and disappears. It's there if you want it. So take it or leave it.
You humans are weird sometimes.
You normally don't meet people like that in real life because people don't act like that normally. Yes there are exceptions. But for example, if everyone is standing around saying an item in a store is a ripoff, you won't see someone walk through the middle of the crowd and say, "I spend my money on stuff that brings me pleasure. Sorry if mommy won't buy it for you people." Anonymity brings out the best.
This will most likely be a model for mobs in wod and available in-game with different color. It wont sell anymore at that point. Blizzard is in huge debt after they loaned money to buy themselves from Vivendi, and Koticks latest exploitation innovation has been to sell future mob/mount models with cash before you can get them in-game.
They must be bleeding subs badly to release another RMT mount so soon. Got to keep those stockholders happy somehow I guess.
Shame they're so short sighted though. This "pump up the next quarterly report" mentality is killing this game. Such a shame for a once great gaming company.
LOL at all the whining people. I like the $25 dollar mount so i will buy it, like last night i spent around the same on beer i just pissed out this morning. I will buy what i like, and you don't buy what you don't like.
If you're comparing the use of a certain argument by a customer playing a game to the use of a similar argument used by child molesters, and using that to say "using x argument is bad because people who've used similar argument under different circumstances used it."
Then yeah, you are not sitting in my box, thinking my way. I am glad that isn't 'my way'.
BRING back the wizardcrab blizzard clearly he was the voice of reason. Also I like to think those arent rockets but carrying cases for loot, like what bikers have on bikes.
i thought this was going to be the 10 year Anniversary mount, guess not all they want is money.
Seriously blizz, did you really have to make it a store mount? I mean come on, we already pay you 15$ a month to play the game plus the price of buying the game, it isn't like you are losing money by having the game running!
There is nothing to defend. I am not planning to buy this particular mount but I have no problems at all with buying a $25 mount. I am an adult with disposable income, and I am free to spend it any way i like. If you honestly think less of me for spending my own hard-earned money on some pixels that give me a bit of enjoyment then I feel sorry for you but will not feel myself diminished in any way shape or form. I do wonder what made you so high and mighty that you feel you can judge your fellow man so easily. Must be the whole internet anonymity thing. Oh, and the fact that your mommy probably just blocked your allowance so you probably feel the need to lash out at the world.
Cool mount. Sucks to be a shop mount. But oh well, fucking Blizzard now only see $$$$$. Always wanted to pay expansions and subscription for a game only to have to pay some more if I wanted to obtain something in that game.
I don't mind the store mount..but did it really need a trailer...could mean we have -trailer/ cut scene in wod QQ
The one time I bought a store mount I regretted it. Not because it was bad looking (I got blood wing) but the idea of having a bought mount bugged me. I feel like mounts are status symbols, some sort of achievement no matter how small. Walking/Flying around of a bought mount makes me feel retarded, like I had nothing more important to spend my money on and am now showing off that fact.
On the other hand this sort of stuff keeps people like me (3D artisits/animators) employed. So that's great!
I can't figure out how to change credit cards on the in-game Blizzard store. It keeps wanting to use one from 5 years ago
