Ten bucks for a minipet? Dang. And I thought race change was overpriced.
It was pretty much inevitable that they would start doing microtransactions for non-combat junk eventually - the trading card loot was like a primer on that - tabbards, mounts, pets, gimmicks, but ten bucks? seriously?
If they were just five bucks, i'd have bought both.
In the end, I really don't have a problem with microtransaction cosmetic bits of fluff like this, I just think the price points for them are really just a wee bit too high. I can't see myself spending that much for them. I'm sure thousands of people feel otherwise, and Blizzard will make a fortune from this and they will continue to drop little nuggets like this in the future, and they will also be over-priced, and unless it's a mechanical mount, I'm just not going to buy it.
Unless it's a mechanical mount.
Damn, I still want that rocket mount so bad.
Turns out, though, I might get a shot at a pink one.
I'll take it.

hehe, you beat me to it. I'm in the same boat. For Five bucks, or if the entire purchase was donated to charity, I'd consider it. But ten bucks is a bit steep. Unless, of course, I'm 2 pets short of the 75-pet achievement.
ReplyDeleteYeah, ask me again at 73 pets too. Am I the only one who feels like they need to drop in a 100-pet achievement pretty soon? Maybe the reward pet won't be an uninteresting as the existing rewards.
