25 Fucking dollars for a goddamn mount. I hate how, ever since Blizzard was purchased by that company they do nothing but ask for more money. Activision bought them and then what happened?
Race Changes! Faction Changes! Let's sell pets! All because of a company that wants nothing more then money. I understand money is important, but they are doing NOTHING but milking WoW. That's it. This is the exact reason I didn't want WoW to quit being pay to play, because they would have to resort to people paying extra money to get better stuff.
Edit: I can understand these other changes can be nice for some people, but it's retarded how much money they are making off their consumer. If Blizzard was doing this at least it would be THEIR product, and not that of some greedy ass company that puts EA games to shame.
/end rant.
