RAF Pets, - Flogging a dead horse

So, clearly we are all pet collectors who want these pets, but if we had 4 friends who we could have absorbed into playing wow, we would have done that already, Am I right?.. Blizz knows this and knows the way their falsely inflated sub numbers will go up is if every pet collector here buys 1-4 new accounts at $20 a pop and then puts $30 of game time on each account ($15 refundable as a free month on your account) I would much rather dodge all this bullcrap and have them put each pet in the store at $35 each and let me cash in one a week with no fake account making, and jumping from account to account needed. Which brings me to pricing of the pets.. the blizz store has always been $25 a mount and $10 a pet... yet now I can choose either 1 mount or 1 pet?.. I understand its a business and its all about the bottom dollar first and foremost but consistent pricing would be nice. Why cant we get mini tyrael or murky as pets from RAF? "But they are limited offer pets, you say?" well so was my Swift Zhevra until they wanted more money... /Rant over

TL;DR, Blizz business model sucks, I'm butthurt my Mount is no longer going to be rare also.

Quite frankly, your zhevra mount is still going to be rare.

Pet collectors will take the 4 pets over a zhevra mount any day of the week and anyone doing the recruiting now will take the zhevra mount as a last option. The Rocket, Nightwing or Emerald Hippogryph are all flying mounts. Much cooler.

I am really, REALLY glad I got a number of game time cards cheap. I was planning on using them to trade for pets, but now I have something to use them for. Sucks I have to use 4 of the 5 for RAF, but it should work out.

I got the rocket as well because they announced "limited time only" and when they are gone, they are gone... why dont they make all the old WoW Collector Editions digital download as well.. I'll fork out for all the CE pets I missed..

I think that this will happen when the game dies. Or, when they do this, it will cause such.
