This mount is for the working person who has a life outside of WOW. If the basement dwellers laugh, Mom will tell them to keep it down.

I've counted three laughs. You know how much I care? None. I have a pretty sparkly flying horse full of stars, GODDAMMIT!!! And this is from someone who currently owns TWO 310% speed mount and is working on a third.
So why get it? Well, because I have many, many alts that will likely never be raided with. I get a beautiful mount from the moment I create a new toon, and since it both flies and rides, it only takes up one button on my hotbar or one keybind. And $25 is very cheap.
The XT pet is cute, too. It uses the XT sound files when summoned and when using it's idle animation (falling asleep), and apparently folks not even partied with me can hear him say "I'm so tired..." I'm going to pull this little bugger out during our 25-man Sindragosa. "I'M READY TO PLAY!!!"

$25 is very cheap?

It represents just over an hour's work for me, so yes, pretty cheap :)

Ah crap, there's another $50 to Blizz. I know my wife's going to want one too. :S

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing.

Give it a lick; it tastes just like OMGPWNSAUCE.
...wait, how'd that go again?

Mmmm, sweet lemonade; yeah, sweet purchasable lemonade...

It's a butterfly! It might, in fact, even be a moth.
Barinthos Apr 15th 2010 12:46PM
It's full of stars.
Well, there goes $50 for the steed for my wife and I. Well played Blizzard...well played.

I came.
Earnshaw Apr 15th 2010 12:47PM
I saw.
SaintStryfe Apr 15th 2010 12:48PM
I got out the AMEX.
Ozzard Apr 15th 2010 12:48PM
Blizz conquered?
Barinthos Apr 15th 2010 12:52PM
Et tu, shiney star filled pony?

Today is, in fact, the ides of April...
...and now the winter of my discontent is made glorious summer by MY FLYING FREAKING HORSE WITH SPARKLES!
Daniel Apr 15th 2010 1:13PM
Seriously, that would make a great ad campaign. "I came. I saw. I got out the Amex." They could do it with the Italian National Tourist Bureau (or whatever it's called.)
The visual scenes just build themselves.

... I just came.
