WTS epic mount
Leeroy Jenkins can breathe a sigh of relief tonight, as someone else has finally challenged his fame on the Laughing Skull server. A yet-unnamed (although everyone seems to be working on it) night elf druid from New York City posted an ad on Craigslist offering to sell her body for an epic mount. "Make sure to send a picture of yourself and a screenshot of the 5000 gold!" she writes. "I play a 70 night elf druid and would prefer someone who was into roleplaying (I have a costume!) but honestly anyone will do as long as you have the gold."
Of course, this has sparked its own forum thread and ytmnd, which is good because the original post got deleted off of Craigslist. The druid didn't respond well to her infamy, writing a follow-up for the ages: "Hi, I'd just like to thank the (expletive deleted) who thought it would be funny to post my picture all over the internet and make 50000 threads about me on the wow forums. I got my epic mount in about an hour that was very enjoyable for both parties while all you idiots probably spent hundreds of hours farming for yours or don't even have them. ... So talk all the trash you want, I got MY epic flying mount AND I got laid which is more than you failures can ever hope for." Wow, she sure showed us. All I have is my lousy 60 percent speed mount and my self-respect.
I'm pretty much ready to call shenanigans on this dealybob, particularly since the whole thing went down in two days and I just can't believe anyone would do this. But there's no telling what some people will do for money (or in this case, gold.) Do you think it's for real? If it is, what do you think about it -- legitimate business deal or prostitution?

ewww. Nobody has enough gold to make me want to do her...
I farmed the gold for my epic in one week thanks to mining. I'd rather farm for a week than have sex with the kind of scary fat wow player that would actually do this girl. Yikes. This is just... a nightmare.

I love ingenuity and I love supply & demand. Capitalism FTW!!

Fake... and hilarious!

Well, if someone is willing to get their guild motto tattooed on his butt to get money for his epic mount, this is not out of the park...
It's SICK, but not unthinkable...

What's with the sterotyping of WoW players? Geez...
We're not all fat basement virgins. I'm married, my toddler enjoys watching me use 'Daddy's Bird' (I don't let him see me kill humanoids)...
The sick thing is, I think I went to HS with that chick...

Thanks to my wife playing WoW with me, I can have sex with a hot NE Hunter, a cute Gnome Mage, or a fierce Dwarf Warrior whenever I want, and best part is, she and I can help each other on quests, too.
It doesn't cost me 5000g. Sometimes it costs me a night running around Netherstorm, but that's the kind of stuff you do for love.

Well...wow...I have no idea what to say to this...Is it possible? Of course. Do I know girls who would do something like this? Perhaps not for WoW stuff but for other things they want, sadly yes. Is it prostitution? Well, the way she went about it it is and if it is a joke she better watch out because posting that and saying that the transaction was completed online can land her in jail. Many other craigslist prostitutes have landed in jail including one that was just on the news....wow...

@4 lol!

Hilarious. I hope she realizes that after the next big patch update, you'll more than likely be able to get your own epic flying mount through a series of solo quests.

if she found someone to take her up on it, more power to her

Hey, it's her body, she can do what she wants. If 5400 gold is worth selling her body for, why not. It's no different from those who get "tested" on by the drug companies, only difference is this involves the "s" word that the US is so afraid of.

Lol - what a bunch of prudsters. And fuck self respect. That and two cents buys you... hmm nothing.
If I had the gold I'd done it in a second provided she looked more like an NE and not a Tauren.

@4 - Reminds me of my favorite guild "STD's are BOP"
Anroth Apr 10th 2007 12:05PM
well, yuo all thinking of a babe who sold her body to a fat, pimpled, sweaty nerd for the gold for a epic mount...
assuming that this isn't a joke, i bet that transaction was similar to two smelly boars going at it under the sheets... for about 30 seconds... :D
even so, i do think that if she wants to slut it out it's really her problem... and if the other party wants to pay to lay, it's his problem also.
if the porn video industry is legal in usa, i think it's kind of hipocrite to ban prostitution...

I'm not a lawyer. BUT i know for a fact that is legally disgusting. ew.
plus, the fact that she had to say "in about an hour that was very enjoyable for both parties" means it was horrible.
Karl Apr 10th 2007 12:29PM
Is that the costume she was talking about? If not, I think I have seen an actual Troll (probablyt a Hunter)...
Gotta be a hoax.
BaboonNL Apr 10th 2007 12:38PM
I'd sell my body for gold too, but I'm sure no one would buy it. :
wowtard Apr 10th 2007 2:11PM
Hick faced bar tramp meets fat pimply and desperate nerd for gold. Film at 11.
Heymish Apr 10th 2007 12:51PM
Well, women are a whole lot slutier these days. Wouldn't suprise me if it were true.
