but then what? you whiners are finally going to stop playing? well i hope so. then there will finally be peace on the forums.
I can understand why you don't like it, but it's not entirely true either. I think that giant, flying robot mount was pretty damned cool, and it's from Engineering. They should do more stuff like that.
Though in truth, you don't NEED these mounts. You don't HAVE to have them. So in a way, the complaint has merit, in another way it's irrelevant.
It's not about making someone better or faster. When you're paying for a game, you'd like to see that money put back into the game for yourself and others, not to be converted into more pixels that you cannot touch without opening your wallet once again. Our reward is grinding daily's for rep so then we can buy rehashed/reskinned mounts, while Blizzard goes balls out on shop items.
Because people expect an ever-changing MMO that's been around for 10 years to be the same for 10 years and that their wants and needs from such a game have nothing to do with how they percieve the game and what they want from it.
In short, people are too short-sighted and narrowminded to realize that no MMO like WoW will keep them playing forever and that the reasons for them quitting isn't all Blizzard, but also themselves.
Are the store mounts really that awesome that it's such a big deal not having them? I don't know about others, but I prefer my Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger and Red Flying Cloud over any mount on the store.
So by that logic you should get at least one expansion for free because it's content you need to pay extra for to obtain. Hell, if you're subscribed to the game non stop every expansion should be for free because it's content you need to pay extra for to obtain. I like to treat content as something I can be a part of, not some flying pixels that look different from my flying pixles but fly at the same speed.
We pay for server costs, for people who develop and keep this game up. That's what s subscription is for and nothing else. We don't pay Blizzard to cater to our needs, we pay them so they can have the money to develop this game further.
When you go to a restaurant? Do you complain about not getting enough steak or potatoes on your plate because you paid for a meal and you think it should have more of a certain ingredient?
Nope, it's not a reskinned phoenix. Just because they're both birds doesn't mean they're the same.

Except for the chimera all the other shop mounts uses an in game skeleton.
The shop items doesn't have much more work put into them, they just fit the mists of pandaria standards, you just have this impression because the latest in-game mounts such as the Iron Juggernaut are out of your range.
The problem is that peoples on this thread compare the shop's mounts with with the mounts they could easily get with a bit of luck - the mounts that comes from previous expansions.
The quality of the mounts in the store always fit the quality of it's time.
I am pretty concerned about the number of people who think its ok for Blizz to double dip into their pockets for content.
There is what I can only call a strong vocal group of people who are determined to accept this and slap others who disagree down.
Love the fanbois defending their beloved Blizzard, who have managed to turn WoW into both a p2p and b2p game at the same time. Why people choose to defend a billion dollar corporation while they are being robbed by said corporation is a great mystery.
As far as the laughable notion that "its cosmetic, it doesn't effect gameplay," cosmetics are a huge part of what WoW is. Do you not consider the thousands of hours people spend running old and new content for transmog gear and mounts to be "gameplay"?
*~To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.~*
The fact is that without the store thoses would simply not exist. The store is a way to put the content that doesn't fit in the game available.
Paying 14 bucks a month for a games that ensure me several complete days of playing in the month, damn what a scam.
This "Bash blizzard no matter what" movement is really ridiculous.
