Selling in-game pets was bad enough, but now in-game mounts as well? When is it going to stop? Some people argue that it is only a cosmetic item and that is certainly true. That doesn't however make it correct. No item should be accessible to players because of real life money. Doesn't matter if it is an in game shirt, a dance, a pet, a mount, tabard or extra emotes. When a company that is free to play does that it is somewhat understandable because it is their only source of revenue. When a company that already charges people a monthly fee to play a game does this it is obvious that they no longer care about making their customers happy and only wish to make a profit.
This has nothing to do with being "poor". I currently have multiple accounts and I assure you, if I can afford to pay for 3 accounts I can spare $25. Blizzard has been a successful game because WoW has had such a great reputation. It seems to me that with their new MMO getting closer and closer they are starting to care less about maintaining that reputation and more about getting more money.
