I have to agree with the above statement. even though I am still tempted to buy the mounts. They are pretty sweet. The only thing holding me back is the fact that its not right for them to make you pay for the mount.

Get 5 phoenix mount like this one http://www.wowhead.com/item=32458
Now that is a nice mount and VERY hard to get due to its crazy low drop rate. Gear all your toons with it and then show up in dalaran next to some idiot who has spent his money for the paid mounts. I guarantee you that his epeen will shrink to a minimal size if you do that :)
This is LOL to see somebody on a boxing forum talking about wasting money on games.
People with means, enjoy your monies however you want.
I personally like the look of the argent hippogryphs better and will be going for those for my peoples.
As long as its optional and an aesthetic thing then im all for it...
If they sold alar phoenixes I would gladly pay 100 euro (about $135) for each one of them, but that ghost like mount... just doesn't cut it. I would like to see it ingame to see how transparent it is.Quote:

It looks like this mount will be pretty profitable in the coming days/weeks for certain individuals. There are some people advertising that they are paying 50k for the mount. You just buy it with RL cash yourself and gift it to them in exchange for the gold. Pretty good deal if you ask me. ;p 200 dollars in gold for 25 bucks. Who says blizzard is the only one who can make RL cash off the lowest common denominator!~
The purchase of these mounts in no ways impacts on anyone else in the game. Everyone one who sees you riding one know where you got it from.
IF they are to make other items purchasable for RL cash (e.g. gear, gems, enchants, etc.), THEN Blizzard will have walked down the slippery slope.
In the meantime, if you want to buy one go ahead, if you don't then don't. The choice as always is yours to make.
But it does impact other people in game, but in a positive way!Quote:

Ha, not really, they just made the purchase totally worth it!
Damn you Blizzard. I reactivated my main account just to get this. Now I'm considering getting it for all of them...
The prancing... oh god... I can't stop prancing on the star pony...
BTW, where do you find out the remaining stock? I didn't see any indications of it.
EDIT: Found my answer after a bit of digging.

"As there appears to be some concerns regarding the availability of the new Celestial Steed mount, we’d like notify all players that may be interested in picking one up that this mount is not currently intended to be a limited time offer.
If these plans change at any time in the future, an announcement will be made to notify our players."
The queue was supposedly thrown up in response to the rush as the first half hour saw many customers unable to complete purchases. The remaining stocks were supposedly of the first batch of codes generated. Maybe Blizzard changed their minds about the limited offer. Maybe it was a gag to drum up interest. Who knows.
