On the plus side this is probably the most legal way to buy gold. Pets are selling for 1500g-2000g on my server.

I need ATVI to go up, so whatever they do to increase profits and appease shareholders is fine by me.
How dare they charge for an in game pet, how dare they charge for people to go to there stupid convention and get an in game pet! Is it not enough that I pay for 5 accounts? They should give me a free KT IMHO for each account I already have!
Honestly I don't care, I might or might not get it, really non of us in this site can say much with out coming out as hypocrites since we multibox. Lets see, some one pays $10 dollars for and in game Pixel we pay our main account $15 and then another $15x4 (X9 if you 10 box) for pixelsX4(x9) more. The only people that can complain are those that have a single account, and that still goes by the wayside since no one that buys these pets is going to care, what other people say, and we that multibox and pay more don't care what single boxers that complain about us say.
And again if you read what the blues posted this was something people wanted, so some one or multiple some ones said I will pay for an in game something if it looks cool and its cute and stuff. So what is Blizz going to do? Not do it and lose out on cash, or do it and make lots of cash.
Lax really can't say much he makes a SW that you can use with WoW, he saw an opportunity to provide a service that he can make some cash on and he did it, how dare he not provide this service for free! Oh and lets not forget Keyclone, he saw a need for SW and he sells it, how dare he make money of his work, it should be free!
All these people should just put a bullet in there heads for thinking they should make money out of a service they provide, it should all be freeeee!

Yah, sorry but like i said I don't care about the pets. I'm just responding to your claim that blizz is super totally awesome for the charity in doing this when in reality they are just cashing in and sending your donation to charity in their name instead of yours.Originally Posted by Svpernova09
freakout more kthnx
When it comes to a point where people have to start paying cash for gear I'm out.
Now on selling gear I would have to agree with you on this. If they ever start doing that I will close my 5 accounts and move on to some other game that does not do this.
Anyway we slice it, anyone selling anything will always look at a way to sell more of it, regardless of what it is, and why not? If people are willing to pay for the service/product why not sell it, now this might sound like I am saying they should start selling everything because they can, but we all understand the rules of the game and what people expect out of it and Blizz has set there rules and said they will not sell in game stuff that would make you OP they will sell only cosmetic stuff. So same with anything else if you break your word then you will lose out on any future business. If they said nothing on selling other stuff then we would think sure they are going to be selling gear, premade char's and there mothers for a profit, I hope it does not go this way but if it does I have the option of quitting, so in the end its all on me, I have the choice there is nothing that says I cant stop playing the game (other than my addiction).

lol You and FatTire are the ones going all chicken little about the whole thing. I didn't say they were "super totally awesome" I just commented about the charity. If you actually read my replies, you'd see I agree with you on the cash for gear, if it ever gets that far.
I cant play any other game than WoW. it's like a monogamistic drug. (is that a word?)
Don't forget that they basically do the same thing with the CCG, except people sell the card/codes on ebay and Blizzard gets no profit from it. The demand is there, so they're just providing it for the few people who want it. $70/mo for 5 accounts, what's a one-time $10?
Also as far as the "China is shut down, they need money" BS, the pets were datamined from the PTR in August and I doubt they'd add the pets without knowing exactly how they'd be obtained. Not to mention the coding required for the online store/code generation/etc, I doubt they just whipped that up in a couple days :P.
If they want to make hundreds of mounts/pets/titles or even an feat of strength for "Gave Blizzard $1000!" I could care less. It doesn't affect gameplay at all and that person has no in-game advantage over a person who just pays the base monthly fee. Hell, maybe they'll make so much money off these useless sales that they'll lower their monthy fee to further entice new players!
I never said anything about they should do things for free. I have no problem with them charging for extras.
I was just speculating that the "free game" model is probably where they are heading with their new MMO, since it can be extremely profitable (the point of a business), so it made perfect sense for the point to be brought up.
Those kel'thuzad pets are a riot. I got 4 of them, they do the kel'thuzad death laugh when you kill people in pvp. Not sure if it's on my client only but I'd love it if other people could hear them (I know you can hear other peoples' kung fu panda things)
