[QUOTE=Jugulum;21385196]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.[/QUOTE] It's not really that bad, they're only selling vanity pets and this mount. It's nothing game changing.
It's ugly.
[QUOTE=Docc;21385286]It's not really that bad, they're only selling vanity pets and this mount. It's nothing game changing.[/QUOTE] Are they still recycling a shitload of boss/mount/vanity skins though? They did when I played, and I didn't really blame them then, but after seeing them put out all these pets with unique skins (And significantly more detailed skins than most in game pets even) for sale... Also, compulsory 'slippery slope' argument.
[QUOTE=usaokay;21378352][QUOTE=Dr. Freeman;21377911]Holy shit, what fun it'd be to work for them.[/QUOTE]I second that motion. You already fucked up Black Mesa, might as well cause another Resonance Cascade at Activision/Blizzard.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and why don't you ruin their microwaved casseroles aswell while you're at it :colbert:
Ugh. Facedesk'd

[QUOTE=Kommunist;21384750]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.[/QUOTE] Maybe you should play with them? People have different tastes you know, like some people prefer games with new content rather then old games?

Where do I submit my resume to work for this godly company?[/QUOTE] [url]http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/[/url] [editline]04:59PM[/editline] Holy fuck click the link and scroll down to the pictures, you get paid for that shit!?
It fucking sparkles.
That is one fabolous horse.
You fuckers need to stop speaking ill of sparkle pony. [editline]03:17PM[/editline] Also it's worth noting that buying this horse gives every single character you made the horse. Plus any character you make in the future recieves the horse in the mail, so it's not like you payed 25$ for only one mount.

Okay have fun with that.

Garry is watching this thread and thinking.....What to add... Hmm
it's a horse, what did you expect?
[QUOTE=Mryamanami;21386279]it's a horse, what did you expect?[/QUOTE] For that amount of money, it'd better be shitting gold nuggest or something!

I think we all need to take a step back at take a look at this seriously. Let's do the math: - $2,000,000 in the first 4 hours. - $25 per person, assuming everyone only gets one = 80,000 people with one. - $500,000 per hour for 4 hours [QUOTE=Tyler_Durden;21380001]That's almost as sad as people buying Sam & Max for the items in TF2.[/QUOTE] Indeed, this distinguished gentleman has a valid point. However, so far there have only been 2 instances where people playing TF2 have received content by buying other games. They are: - pre-ordering L4D2; Bill's hat. - Sam & Max; the crazy bunny shit that I don't really care about. Important to note here though is that unlike with L4D2, Valve has made limited edition [I]weapons[/I] for the first time with the Sam& Max content. This is reason for sadface; because unlike hats, weapons can change gameplay. Unlike WoW though, most TF2 vanity items are free.
This is something my brother buys instead of fixing his car so I have to drive him to work everyday. I hate you blizzard.
I haven't played WoW for months, as in my account is just laying there, waiting to be payed and played again. I would most likely buy this, if I were still playing. Because: - Raids/instances are boring, and they usually have some fancy mount drop of some kind. - Gaining reputations just takes waaaay too long, and most includes raiding.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;21378056]Blizzard are geniuses. I can't believe people are saying they're terrible for this. It's not their fault morons are willing to shell out $25 for something that is utterly useless. They offer a useless product people are willing to pay for for some reason.[/QUOTE] E-peen boost. Although I don't know how riding a horse made of magical stardust makes your e-peen bigger.

Wait this is flying and ground? For all characters? That would save you a lot of farming.
[QUOTE=A.C.I.D;21389471]Wait this is flying and ground? For all characters? That would save you a lot of farming.[/QUOTE] It's only flying if you have the flying mount skill, same for the speeds on the ground. It just matches your skill.
In fact depending on how many alts you have it could pay for itself in saved game time.
World of Warcraft hahaha
