What has this world come to when developers offer optional downloads to make a little extra money for all the hard work they put into the rest of the game. It's almost like these people are trying to make money like everyone else. That's odd.

woah, hard work and world of warcraft

be careful with that irony, bridget

Buying extra items like that is just as pointless as paying a monthly charge to play a game. But hey who am I to judge.

Apparently Bridget has never played an MMO. These things are not optional because, in fact, you are forced to buy them due to the societal pressure within the gameworld to "fit in." If you don't, then you are exiled and not allowed into the accepted cliques and you end up raiding with the level 60's who can't buy the expansions and thus can't get the new mount. It's a vicious cycle.

$25 is a "little extra money?"
That cost them 20 bucks to make and they get $25 every time someone buys it.
Yes, that's VERY fair.

However, it's costs a few hundred thousand dollars to run a single WoW server for a day so...
