You think we are QQing? Seriously.

I am making fun of the people who will pay for this and defending it under the umbrella of charity.

I haven't bought either since the only toon I really do achievement stuff with is my druid, that already has the 75 pet achievements. But you didn't answer the question. I just think it's silly to make such a big deal about it.

Meh, I'll probably get 'Lil KT. The whole laughing at your PvP foes is worth the price of a good six pack.

People who will buy these are the same as those paying for a custom/epic/manga hair cut on their characters. I too find this silly, but who am I to judge what people do with their hard earn money. After all, I pay 65 euros a month in subscription fees for a video game, which a lot of people would find silly.

I am not shocked that Blizzard sells this kind of service, and I find it good they give some money to a charity. Now, I would have found it much more classy if they would give the whole amount to charity, and not only half.

I think you would be hard pressed to find any console gamer who doesnt buy 1 new game per month(new games 60$). I am actually excited by this and hope they open up more options for purchase. ATVI is a stock I like to short every couple of weeks and this will no doubt increase earnings. I make more money the more everyone spends! Win/Win

500 million on MW:2 pre orders helps too. ;p

I would like to point out, that there is NOTHING extra above and beyond your subscription fee that you are required to pay to play the game and enjoy every bit of it's content from lvl 1-80, apart from xpacs, which are huge and reasonably cheap to buy.

And yet, they offer extra services (which DO NOT give other players any kind of advantage) for money to offset some of their extraordinary costs (if you believe that Blizzard is making all the money they get from subscriptions you are sorely mistaken and far from reality)

If you do not wish to support Blizzard, and think they are just out to get your money, wtf are you doing on these forums. You are not here because you hate video games, even if you don't play WoW you support some other game in some way or another.

Good on Blizz, and great on them for giving HALF their sales to charity for the panda monks.

I bet you don't spit on coca-cola for selling you a product which costs them nothing to make and has a profit margin of over 5000% do you? Yet Blizzard offers services that the community has been CRYING for, and they are making them available for people. Could you imagine the frenzy it would cause if they were allowed to be free? server xfers? faction / name xfers? .. don't be so stupid please. Stop hating on a company who gives you what you want just because its not free.

Yes, Blizzard is owned by a company who enjoys profit. guess what, if you were a shareholder in Vivendi Games, you would too. The world is driven by the market, and wherever you can make money from people willing to pay for it is fair game. Grow up and join the real world.

PS sorry for being so rude and obnoxious, I blame my Swine Flu.

haha i was just making a point how they are two coming out with new things to offset the economy's problem, i dont hate the new things they open crap ive done every one of the services other than the character recustomize
