Mounts in game hold value because of what is required to get them, sure they look nice buy if all you did to get them was give blizzard 25 dollars instead of actually accomplish something in the game to me that completely defeats the reason we log in every day doesn't it.

Sorry to be negative but the selling of in-game items is a very slippery slope and I'm really worried what its going to turn mmo's into. Mounts are something that provide a real benefit and advantage to other players, its not huge but its certainly a benefit because you opened your check book. This just opens the door for blizzard to rip people for more and more money due to the large e-peen competition that exists in wow. I guess its genius if you love profits but its definitely going to change gaming in a negative way I believe. The fact that you guys are literally here waving your proverbial e-peens around that you spent 125 dollars on it is really disappointing to me. I'm not trying to piss in your cheerios I just really feel like people aren't giving this the thought it deserves.
Nothing wrong with supporting a game you enjoy IMO.
