Like most mounts, this one wasn't even a trophy signifying any kind of accomplishment or hard work... I'm reluctant to use the word 'immersion' after it's been meme-tized, but yea, ruined my immersion.

And that was the day I lost my faith in the invisible hand of human rationality.
I think cash shops are inevitable nowadays. People want a choice in whether they fork over money each month. Even GW2 has a cash shop. The cat's out of the bag now, man. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
