@Blizzard - ya I logged into WoW last night and there was 15 or so ppl standing around on this Celestial Steed. I was like huh? is this some new holiday mount. Went and looked it up, and they wanted real $$ for it. Also introduced a new pet, Lil' XT - which is really annoying when there are 20+ in one city all saying XT catch frases >_<

But I can't believe ppl pay real $$$ for in game items. just blows my mind .
