Around Azeroth: Flyion
I've been trying to avoid posting excessive Winged Guardian pictures, as the purchasable mounts tend to evoke strong feelings in many players. But summer is a time for guilty pleasures: pink cocktails, Katy Perry songs, and shirtless men on HBO dramas. And this screenshot from Penumbra of Champions of War on Argent Dawn (US-H) is all kinds of pretty. Give in to temptation!
Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com. We strongly prefer full-sized pictures with no UI or names showing. Please include "Azeroth" in the subject line so your email doesn't get marked as spam, and include your name, guild and server if you want to be credited.

HBO dramas tend to have trouserless men these days as well.

I'm just a retarded lion mount.
Won't you buy me from the Blizzard store.
It's a real shame, but it's you that's to blame,
If they take me out of the game.
Because flying lions are lame.

I got a flyin' lion' as a gift from a friend. It's one of the sweetest gifts I've ever received, simply because it is pure luxury, unnecessary, and frivolous.

Bought it for both my accounts and love it! If people don't like the mounts or pets, don't buy them. It's as simple as that, but I am all for micro transactions as it keeps the game running, the money coming in, and nice stuff that don't effect game play for the player base one bit and is mainly cosmetic.
Who would have thought that Blizzard is in the business to make...money. How dare they!

You should've gone with the shirtless guys on HBO; the overzealous white knights of WoW are foaming at the mouth already.
MusedMoose Jun 26th 2011 3:35PM
Yeah, but this is supposed to be about WoW pictures.
I don't know if a pictorial of the shirtless guys of WoW would have gone over so well.
VioletArrows Jun 26th 2011 3:44PM
Actually I remember there was an Around Azeroth many moons ago where it was a bunch of shirtless guys in a sauna or something. I was amused, I don't think too many guys were. -_-
Fine, I shall find my own! *a few minutes later is running around howling with her eyesockets smouldering* WHY DO YOU BETRAY ME GOOGLE IMAGES!!?!

Anyone who hates on Blizzard for making purchasable mounts, please be rational...
If you could make easy money by ripping off willing idiots, wouldn't you do it?
Strawder Jun 26th 2011 5:14PM
Now ... you see....
Just a ......
Point. You have one.
MrJackSauce Jun 26th 2011 9:46PM
"Willing idiots" being those that work hard during the week so they can have nice things.
Agony Jun 26th 2011 5:10PM
/sigh
Haters.
Dey be hatin', mon.

Let's not be too oversensitive here - I can't see a single "hater" on this thread.
A reference to a funny machinima song, yes. But it's a good machinima!
It doesn't mean people who like the song hate the mount, any more than people liking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO3hosRy-S0 means they're ninjas :P
I think people are seeing hate where there is none.
MrJackSauce Jun 26th 2011 9:45PM
My mount macro for all my toons after purchasin the best looking mount in game hands down (lion with face dreads? f- yeah!!)
