But there's some that will get mad because they think you don't deserve it, people that will say it looks like shit and rant on about that, or people that abuse you because they think you got it off the BMAH. And of course the /spits. It's been a while since anyone has said anything, last one was some guy a a month or two ago. I was waiting at Nalak and he kept whispering my alts on different characters (he was probably waiting for Nalak too) just calling me rude names and saying Sha mount was shit and that I 'probably bought it'. So many /ignores that day haha.
But that happens with other stuff too. Anyone with the spider mount can justify that if someone thinks you dropped 1-2mil + on a mount they will happily tell you you are an idiot and it's a waste of gold and yada yada. My guild still gives me shit (jokingly of course) about dropping 1.5mil on the Archi mount.
Personally I prefer dropping gold on mounts rather than spending gold on gear that will become useless come the next raid tier (unless it's actually good for tmog).
