Such as? That's like lunch for one day, maybe 2 magazines, 1 dvd or 1 cd purchase. $25 is not a lot of money and is essentially pocket change for minor purchases, there is nothing else you can spend it on that will change your life in a meaningful way that makes buying the steed any less pragmatic a use of it than any other option.

In regards to the steed, I brought 1 + the 3 pets (would have brought the 2 plushies as well but wind-rider is out of stock atm) and have no issue with Blizzard selling meaningless items such as that but the moment they put weapons, armour, potions, or any other form of character upgrade up for sale is the moment I cancel all my accounts and am done with WoW and I'm sure they understand that just about anyone feels the same way whether they support things like the steed or not.
