[QUOTE=Lambeth;21380484]I could never understand WoW. I was only able to get to level 30 or so before I got bored.What's more, I quit playing just around the time they started making it easier to get higher level content.
:sigh:[/QUOTE]
Well at least you tried. You should try again when the expansion Cataclysm comes out. They are supposed to be renovating the leveling system.
This is koticks doing. Mike morhaime (former ceo of blizzard, before they merged with activision) now answer to kotick. Kotick can ream morhaimes ass raw, and he can't do shit.
And I who thought the MW2 map pack was a horrible rip-off.

Now Coach I ain't one to shoot my friends but y'all better let me on that computin' machine.
Oh please, no one's forcing you to buy it.
If you owned a company and had a chance to earn fuckton of money for pretty much nothing, would you really let it pass?
[QUOTE=Zoo;21379967]Patch[/quote]
You mean bugs that should have been fixed 3 versions ago that were only just getting fixed?
:what:
And here is me, believing that you can't buy something more overpriced then the MW2 map pack.
So long as the money goes in to developing Starcraft 2, I really don't care what they badger these idiots in to paying for.
I gotta congratulate Blizzard - they sure do know how to gain money from idiots.

Quoted for truth.
I don't see why people complain about this being a rip off and all that. It's just basically a vanity pet, it gives no advantage to the player who buys it, it's just to look good. Whereas the MW2 map pack is actual content, and they are making people pay stupid amounts for it.
If they started charging $25 for a piece of gear or really good weapons on the store then that's when I'd loose all hope for Blizzard.
This is just like some kind of collectors item for some WoW players, and I know a lot of people who are willing to pay for shit like this. If your stupid enough to pay for something so expensive then it's your own fault.

Sure, it's each owns fault if they buy something like that. But Blizzard didn't need to put the price that high in the first place! If you look at what we paid for an expansion pack back in 2003, for example Road to Rome for 20$, it's just a ridiculous high price.
That said, I never played WoW anyway.
Wow, why would you even want to buy one???
It's not exactly like you're going to be the only one with it
What's the big deal, it's just a mount on an online store that gives no new benefits
It isn't essential to the game or anything, so I wouldn't call it some kind of thing to demonize WoW over
[QUOTE=UserDirk580;21377907]I could think of so many better things to do with $25.[/QUOTE]
Exactly! you could buy two real chickens for $25!
The Sean Government of the United States is going to fuck them up.
who the fuck would pay 25$ for a vritual item ?
its just crazy
[QUOTE=MR-X;21378324]Yeah, i don't see the fuss. Could be worse things to buy..*cough* MW2 map pack *Cough*
[/QUOTE]
How is this better than that? It costs more and it's just one little thing.
I can't really blame Blizzard. They are just making money of the rich and stupid. It's actually GOOD that that dumb horse doesn't have any special abilities.
On the one hand ~£17 for a mount.
On the other hand it would look god dam purdy ingame...
I hate WoW so much. I'm almost losing some friends because they got addicted to that damn thing, when they used to play CS with me. Now they just spend the whole day playing that crap and don't give a fuck about having a life anymore.
So screw WoW. I used to like Blizzard before.
Incredible fan base non the less. I couldn't buy it myself 20€ is just too expensive !
'Fancy Horse' sounds like the name of a gay Native American.

Just like all the other video game developers?
Meanwhile at activision blizzard they are laughing their fucking asses off at everybody who bought it.

Your friends suck.
Ah well, glad I got off that train last year before they began with the micro transactions.
Anyone that can answer me if they've fixed vanish yet btw? Haven't been following the patch notes lately.
