It might surprise people that I have a standing policy against spending money on anything I could possibly get any other way. I pay for server transfers with cash, of course, because I refuse to compromise my account - god forbid Aestu should get hacked - but my X-53, my riding turtle, my new Spectral Kitten...and now these plushies...were all paid for with gold or favors. The plushies cost 15k gold; I'm pleased with this price.

The plushies arrived in the mail today. They come in these ultrasuede baggies, which are actually quite high quality; I'd like to have reused them, but they are emblazoned with big faction insigniae and the name of the enclosed pet, so I will throw them away. The pets themselves are bling - they feel very tight and ponderous in the hand, not at all "plush"; they are bright but unartistic; they definitely do feel like a cheap, soulless, mass-produced product, kind of creepy actually. I wouldn't even give them to my cat.

It really feels bad adding them to the landfill. What a waste of resources. If I could have just bought the virtual codes, I would have - with gold, of course.

I just feel the wastefulness was terribly tragic.

What's the in-game thing you get from the plushies?


If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.

So you got a spectral tiger mount with in game gold? That's pretty cool...they are going for 1K USD on ebay irl...if anyone ever spent that on WoW, they should promptly shoot themselves in the face.

No, the spectral KITTEN pet. I paid 30k for it, which went toward the person's purchase of a Mimiron head.

Two accounts updated with WotLK, paid for over four years.

I'm sure others paid more with all the faction changes, transfers, in-game items, etc.

Kinda sickening, actually...
