    so long as this whole ordeal doesn't get out of hand, and its kept to vanity items, sure, why not. Hell, throw in some donations to Jerry's Kids and the Ronald McDonald House while your at it. At first glance, it does look fishy, but the more you actually think about it, a lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that this micro transaction type of thing is gonna ruin WoW... they have 2 pets up. whoopty do. when they start selling gear upgrades that are better than what you can get in game, then its time to QQ and go play Aeon.

    I don't play Korean games for this very reason. Pet shop...my ass.
    So... I guess the money blizzard gets goes straight to their pockets and their servers run off of rainbow juice?

    1: You aren't forced to buy one
    2: It's for a good cause
    3: I used to play Maplestory and there you can buy items that makes your character look different, other emotions etc. I see nothing bad with.
    4: This kind of selling have already been out, heard of the TGC?

    No achievement for getting the the Pandaren Monk, but it does go towards the Lil Game Hunter achievement.

    as a mater of fact, they are ran by rainbow juice created from the tears of laughing unicorns. These unicorns are laughing at the leprichauns who are actually the blizzard GMs. Though according to National Inquirer, some of these leprichauns may in fact be circus midgets and carnival folk (non-darkmoon variety) who are from mars. Rainbow Juice ftw

    I wouldn't probably pay out cash for a vanity pet that every man and his dog can have but

    "we’ll donate 50 percent of the $10 purchasing price to the Make-a-Wish Foundation in an effort to brew up a little hope, strength, and joy in a child’s life."

    makes me think at least part of my money is going to a good cause, so yeah why not I may buy one.

    And is there something wrong with a for-profit company, whoa, trying to make a profit? Spare me your uneducated bullshit about how much money they make a year and how it somehow makes it trivial.

    I'm convinced some of you people have an IQ of less than 40.

    And hey Rugus, you know there's a solution to your dilemma, right? Stop being a customer of Blizzard. Problem solved.

    You guys weren't under the impression that Blizzard a charity or not-for-profit company were you?

    Re: Introducing the Pet Store

    Normally I wouldn't spend money on stuff like this, but I'm buying the pandaren monk because 50% goes to charity.... and it's pure awesomesauce.

    Re: Introducing the Pet Store

    Yay, I am so going to buy them both !

    Oh and people c'mon... sure, Blizzard could make these available in-game via an achievement or whatever, but it's not like Blizzard is selling tier gear for money akin to how some other games sell items for real money. WoW isn't a microtransaction-supported game. These are just fun items that you can buy... don't people also buy the loot cards on eBay for pets and mounts? Instead of going to some random lucky eBayer, you're now supporting the company you know and love (or possibly hate right now :P).

    I've seen tons of changes lately: PvE to PvP, gender change, race change, faction change, etc. That's fine. But trying to drag more customers in the net of Blizzard just whispering the word "charity" makes me feel bad and embarrassed for being a Blizzard customer.

    ITS OPTIONAL. You dun hav to buy itz, cheap poor guy, lulz

    Besides, your essentially just paying $5.
    Don't you want to help someone not as fortunate as your sorry ass?
    Most classes spend their entire /played time wondering if they made a difference.
    Paladins don't have that problem.
