Ask yourself this: if it was like the pink elephant, and only you could see it, would you still buy it?

There are a lot of pets and mounts in the game. I don't believe people so many people really prefer the ones that cost money. I think when they pick the pet, there's an element of, hey, look what I just bought. That's what conspicuous consumption is about. It isn't a intentional decision to flash your money, it's being happy because you have something other people want.
