If you prefer to grind for you pets, then why not try some real-world grinding for your real-money pet?

Skip the $5 coffee for four days and pocket the savings. Tada! You can buy both pets. Feeling like you should have a more intense grind? Collect aluminum cans for a month and sell them to a recycling center. Are you truly hardcore? Sell blood and plasma a few times.

Oh, and quit your whining.

thank you!

On mmo-champ yesterday one person was complaining that to play the game "His Way" would require a faction transfer, and a server change. he complained this was unfair.

I just shook my head. It's not a right, what it is, is a convenience. A Server Transfer is what, 40$? And a Faction TRansfer 35$? Total 75$?

Let's pretend you don't earn much: 7.50$. It would take you about 12 hours of work to do that (with taxes).

Can you level a new character to 80 in 12 hours? No? THEN IT'S A BIG FARK CONVENIENCE NOT A FARKING MICROTRANSACTION.

And I trust Blizz never to sell a game-changing/un-balancing item. Blizz has treated me right for the most part for the three years I've played.
