    Re: Purchasable Warcraft Mount Nets Blizzard Over $3.5 Million in Half of a Day

    I play wow as window mode and often enable winamp to be always on top so that it appears to be an addon. I also frequently enjoy hulu or similar in the corner of my screen while I play using a 3rd party windows program called Power Menu. http://www.abstractpath.com/powermenu/ There might be a better program but this was the first I could find that worked in windows 7. Winamp has it's own always on top.

    CBH Viewport resizes the game window so the bulk of my addons do not take of view space. You can add black space to as many sides as you like.
    Vuhdo is my main raid ui and healing addon when I raid 25 names will fill the space between my bars.
    Chatter is my chat addon along with WIM (wow instant messenger) for instant msgs.
    SexyMap allows me to take control of the mini map.
    Dominos is my Bar UI.
    Buffalo3 for buffs.
    TIPTAC is awesome for tooltip replacement!
    KONG hides any frame I don't always want showing up. I have many other bars on the sides and a few above the black area that are currently invisible.
    When moused over they will show you can also configure stuff to show up in combat or even hide during combat.

    without kong enabled


    Hulu playing in winamp's web browser. Current skin doesn't offer browser and it's easier to just use hulu's popout and power menu.



    I've recently become the life of thrall with my auto tune, the mass has started calling me tpleasure.

The average mentally challenged person can make much more than 25 dollars working at mcdonalds in the time it would take to farm the equivalent of that mount. You're only possible argument is that playing wow at all is worthless.
        25 bucks is severely overpriced for something which is not worth that kind of money on its own. It has nothing to do with farming or how much money people spend on even more trivial things (right... is it possible?). It doesnt make it alright. Its not priced by its value, but because they expect a lot of idiots to give up that kind of money for a few pixels. Its very much comparable to the ridiculous DLCs on consoles (various costumes and weapons for single player game).

        There is no way you can justify spending this much on this little. And if people do this in real life on god knows what, they are usually called idiots. Like I said, if you feel you want to throw away some money, I can point you towards a good charity.

                Basically, you read an entire post regarding in-game addons of a game you apparently don't even play. This resulted in you asking a question that does a pretty good job in showing how much of an id...

                  Its an RPG, theres a lot of grinding and it doesnt require you to click like a madman all the time. Im actually amazed by how many addons and functions WoW has in order to make it more multifunctional in its slower moments.

                      Blizzard is acting like 310% mount speed with be trainable in Cataclysm as a riding skill upgrade. They have also stated that mounts will more than likely not go above 310%.
