It seems to me you fail to understand out business works. If the store doesn't have customers, it shuts down. If people are willing to pay for items at said store, it stays open. Now granted, this is usually because the cost of overhead and whatnot causes the store to close if they can't stay in the black, but in this situation if people don't give them money for resources spent behind another pay wall then they'll stop doing it and said resources SHOULD be spent on the game content we already are paying for.
Meh, I wanted this to be part of the collector's edition or something, not another 'spend dosh to look posh!' mount.

This really make me sad - I pay for a game and they still want me to pay for best looking mount -_-
I would not complain if game would be F2P, BUT IS IT NOT!
I seriously love the people who love to use the if you don't like the blizzard shop just don't buy form it argument like it's the holy grail of excuses for the shop to continue to excist. Now I have an question for those people though.
What about the people who hate the ingame shop idea but love collecting unique mounts/pets? Cause they are pretty much screwed.
fuck yea pay4pixels !!! i want to to see BIS epic items and legendary weapons from blizzard store too ! lets make all the awesome items obtainable only via irl cash rather than in game accomplishments !
Some people work for their money, and treat themselves to small luxuries. Don't hate on them for being able to spend money on things they want.
25 bucks here and there is nothing to someone who's earning something for themselves.
It's a cool mount, i'd buy it.
I fell in love with at first glance, still thinking about buying it.
I've allways thought the store to be an extra to the game, but it isn't different from buying a collector's xpac, for example.
I regret buying the shitty yellow serpent or whatever. jeez.
Considering it's a Teen-rated game, they're not far off then...I was 13 when I started playing. I'm 22 now, and I can accept the cheesy trailer knowing it's probably targeted at the younger players. Not worth getting upset over it, it is a vanity item anyhow, I think the trailer served its purpose.
Being a mount collector, I will eventually buy it, but I don't need it right away (which a lot of people are already bitching about as if you have a gun to your head to purchase it).
Somehow I suspect it was an error and won't be available till Xpak, although if some people did manage to buy it early, I wonder how Blizzard will handle that.
That's the point though most people aren't hating on people buying extra's for themselves. Me personaly though am hating on Blizzard and people definding the shop like it's their live passion. Because blizzard is making me pay for content I shouldn't have to pay extra for and the people are defending that there own bank acounts are basicaly being plundered by an greedy company.
Everyone who buys it has been exploited, according to CEO of Blizzard. But yes, people have the right to want to be exploited, and even defend their exploiter. Mind is weak, so it happens in all areas of life.
Oh another mount of me to spend my cash on! Keep em coming Blizz!
I don't hate the mount or anyone who wants to spend his money buying one.
The promo is over the top ridiculous though. That's what everyone is laughing about.
