I hereby reserve the right to claim "I told you so" when things do go south Jon.
I never said things wouldn't ever go south. I just said that what happened yesterday isn't actually proof of anything and that if people keep losing their minds over things that prove nothing, when real proof emerges, and someone cries foul over it, no one will listen.
Things like this (charging subscription fee AND RMTs) rarely happen in big steps. Champion Online started with worthless, fluff items but then now recently introduced a free respec.
That is how it starts, harmless things at first, but later more and more are sneaked in. Just wait and see...
I believe as well that this is a slippery slope... and once started, will commence with whatever we ALLOW them to charge us additional money for.
Apparently you don't understand capitalism (which makes you a liberal). WoW has competition from other mmo/games, so if they start charging more and you don't like it move to another game.

Sounds like a good Idea to me. But in any case 14.99 is too much to pay anyhow. I played for two to three years and most of the time was spent soloing. One feature they should think about adding into the game, is soloability. If Turbine(D&DO) considered it. Then why not Blizzard(World of Warcraft). You want people to play together. But I honestly think people are afraid to make freinds in an mmo. They feel might get wrong in some way. So when you can find what you looking for in any mmo move until you find what your looking for. Specially when it come to sub fee. Even though they all charge the same amount.

These aren't game altering pets/mounts. You gain nothing other than a different graphic to take you from place to place with the mount.

Done.
BTW - I understand capitalism very well. I just don't like it.

I don't think Blizzard would put items in an itemshop that would actually affect the game. Just like they would never lower the subscription fee, even though they have an 11 million player base wich I kind of doubt. No quite the contrary. They rather have you trudge along. That way they can suck up as much money as possible off there player community. To be honest with you World of Warcraft is kind of outdated anyway. From a graphic stand point anyway. Blizzard had some good ideas. But they also had a lot of bad ideas. We'll just have to wait and see on which side of the line this one falls.
P.S:If they really cared about the player base you would some kind of real respose. NOT automated. They would also ask the commuity what content should be add. Not just spring it on them at some cheesey ass cinvention.
But they don't really care about the player base. They care about making a profit. They only care for the customers insofar as it keeps them as subscribers, or generates more subscribers. I swear, some of you seem to think that companies actually "Care". Do you also believe those stupid mortgage and insurance commercials that tell you the companies care?
Nope. Besides it called buissness. Of cores it's about the money
