I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

That thing is still earnable every so often in game if you catch it on the black market

Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.

Yeah it's always been a status symbol. Nowadays it isn't even that useful because they put auction houses in the expansion cities anyway, so it's basically just a status symbol for people who spend WAY too much time on the auction house. This mount isn't even half as P2W as people would have you believe.
