Any Reason why the CE Mount of Pandaria is on the Cash Shop?

[Gimlix]

Any reason for this? Because it's the only one they put on there. A bit odd and a big FU to collectors who got em through Collectors edition.
Feels a bit to please China.

Because Mists of Pandaria was the first time they gave players the option of a Digital Deluxe just for the pet and mount instead of only the physical Collector's Edition.

But there was no system set in place yet to separate that out when WoD popped in as a new game upgrade with its own Digital Deluxe upgrade option, so Mists of Pandaria Digital Deluxe got removed. WoD and beyond, after expansions, they started adding expansion mount/pet packs in their own separate categories to preserve them without having to make their "account upgrade" system too convoluted.

Mists of Pandaria just happened to not be grandfathered into that system, so instead the mount and pet are sold separately on the store.

[quite an expert in wow]

mostly to give a big FU i guess, which is a good thing if you think about it

I am not sure what the problem is. Jealousy?

Feels a bit to please China.

Not this again. Yeah. China is really happy people will buy the items and the profits goes to Blizzard.

Who cares...

[XDurionX]

I suppose it's there to sell it and to earn money, just a guess.

[Baneto]

They needed another cash-grab, obviously.

[Lolites]

Because it's the only one they put on there.

its not... since WOD you can buy "collectors edition" digital edition, which c ontains mounts too...
and if im not teribly mistaken before MOP there was no mounts in collectors edition...
so you can buy all collectors edition mounts on shop...

[Baneto]

I cant have been the only person thinking "CE = Cutting Edge" when first reading this topic.

Wonder if that would cause an outrage though?

[Krakan]

Paying more money for something isn't really a way to be special or standout. Why not milk those who do?

Because they can do what they want with their IP without the approval/permission of a bunch of angry manbabies who need rare items in a game to validate their sense of existence?

All the other CE items after that one are also on the shop as part of "Digital Deluxe" item packs. The MoP mount was the only I was missing because I didn't have a job at the time. Now I can finally ride that sweet quilen.

[Lochton]

Because it is a product they can sell?

I bought the CE myself and I don't mind it being available on the market much later than it was for me.

[meroko]

let's not pretend it's a special mount, at all. I could care less this mount is sold on cash shop.

Nah i don't care at all, i just wondered why the typical Asian Mount was on the shop. While other CE mounts werent on there.
Felt like cocksucking to China like most companies do nowadays.

But it seems to have a valid reason.

Yeah, this.

The digital items from CE's haven't been rare since they started selling Digital Deluxe. But, the digital stuff became better with Digital sales as then they were making these items for a larger customer base. Prior to that, we got a pet and that was it... Usually a rehashed pet whelp.

I get the CE for the physical items. If they one day start selling pieces from the Physical CEs on their gear store, I'll muster a sliver of outrage. Maybe.
