About the QQ over the Winged Lion mount.

There's just so much QQ going on about this mount at the moment, before it's even released, that it should be considered rather pathetic really when you think about it.

1. There are plenty of cool, rare mounts already in the game. E-peen strokers have no shortage..well, in their pants..or brain..but not in rare stuff to feel shiningz on.

2. This mount uses an old model, the gryphon. I assure you all it will be bugged, small, look hideous for most races to sit on and just be forgotten in 3 days after release. I just cannot imagine a lion looking good with the movement animation that the gryphon has...LET'S HOPE they used the saber mount animation on ground at least!

3. IF it indeed looks better than the screens suggest, then so what? If you want a good looking mount that requires you to spend 2-12 hours in-game rather than outside it EARNING REAL MONEY and then spending it on whatever you like, then there are at least 5 mounts for you to pick and choose from...ICC raid mounts, Ulduar raid mounts, Cataclysm raid mount. There are also rare drakes you can farm with friends and hope you do not miss out when it finally drops.. Off you go!

4. People buying this mount have money. That suggests that they are in fact in most cases doing something a bit more worthwhile than sitting in front of a computer going "Omg prohaxl337 I/we just toally one-shot that shaman/boss and wtf is that healer/tank/dps doing he's retarded!!!!!" for hours on end.....it makes me laugh when kids say people buying this mount have more money than sense...how, exactly, is it worse having money than playing a game that is suitable from 12 years up, with plenty of the playerbase being younger...?

5. Get over yourselves, all you lot who try and down the mount, Blizzard or those buying the mount. It's a big game, lots of stuff to do, if a bunch of pixels sold for usage IN the game but without ADVANTAGES by Blizzard for real money upsets you that much then might I suggest you seek help?

6. This is Blizzard's game (mostly), they have every right taking it in any direction they'd like and personally, not being heavily involved and not allowing the game taking over my soul, I'd say it's a really nice gesture of them making nice stuff buyable and especially when they allow some of the money to go to charity (such as with the moonkin hatchling I believe?). Some people will no doubt be happy about this mount for years to come. Others stop using it eventually but it's the same really with anything in this game. Some people want stuff because they personally like it, others want it while it's somewhat shiny and new, some want it ONLY if it's shiny enough to spill some of that shine upon them....outside the AH...while fake AFK...

When it comes down to it, it is coming, it will be part of the game and that's it. It will be around until the game dies, and my god...I wonder..what will the people that are the most upset do with their time then? When WoW is dead and they cannot QQ about it?

Congratulations to everyone that are happy and will eventually buy this mount, I personally will wait until I see what it's like. To all the QQers/haters.../shoo.
