Yes, I was aware. I didn't sub to it back then and I use it every once in awhile now. It was an ease of convenience feature much like paid 90s will be and much like how server and faction transfers currently work. Why wouldn't they charge for something that makes things just a bit easier for people? Are you also going to debate that server and faction transfers should be free at all times as well?
My point in my post was that there is nothing stated that proves that developing pets/mounts/whatever else is being charged for is taking any time away from the creation of new content. Yes, they have stated that the new models took time to develop and that content took longer to make because of it but the character models is something that everyone will get to use (or not use if that UI option stays). There is no proof that what has been already put into the game has directly taken away from time to develop other things. No one complained about the TCG during BC because the content was still there. Like I said, people are just upset because there is now a button in the game. Furthermore, people on this site seem to have a misconstrued view on what Pay To Win actually means. I just don't get it. I have 8 90s atm. All that I have put time into, if people want to buy a 90 then that no way lessens or cheapens what I had to put into the game. It was still enjoyable to me.
