I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

I was going to say who cares if they're selling a mount skin, but if on-the-go access to the auction house and mailbox isn't normally accessible, this seems shitty.

The thing is, they won't be able to sell a Mount like this again in the future. This is kind of a "break glass" type of situation.

It's one of the most overhyped things in the game. I can more than afford it (both through $$ and in-game currency) but I just do not care. There's easy to get mailboxes and the auction house is in every main city now.

Not to mention the amount of people who have the original auction house mount and the influx of people with this one - it is barely a convenience.
