Printing Money??

So yesterday the "Heart of The Aspects" mount became available. This to me is obviously the best looking mount they have ever made to be purchased in the Blizzard Store. If you haven't seen the mount here is what it looks like.


Now being an MMO it seems a little weird to buy a mount for the purpose of advancing your character. I know it doesn't give an unfair advantage so it doesn't really apply, but still. The only exception to me would be if the money itself goes to charity, which is why I have bought a few of the pets. Regardless of that many people like to purchase these mounts.2 As you probably know they cost $25 a piece. With that in mind you may wonder how much money Blizzard makes off of these mounts. Well here is a little idea. Within 5 minutes on the North American store it looked like this

That is 40226 x $25 = $1,005,650. That is right over a million dollars. So it is safe to say that making a mount like this is a license to print money

My Winged Nightmare

So for anyone who isn't aware Blizzard has announced that the mount above will be coming to the Blizzard Store. Now for all those people who are already going on about the new TRH but calling it the TRL are just not even thinking. First off the least I could say was that the my little pony sparkle pony was something that could have actually been put in game for killing Algalon. Now even if the mount in my opinion looked silly and overdone that was in fact true. This was highlighted in Totalbiscuts TRH video "Even you could pretend you killed Algalon". The problem I have with this mount is I cant get the picture below out of my head while looking at it.
Yes that is the Lion from the Land of Misfit Toys from the movie Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. So if you liked the look of the mount I am sorry for ruining it for you, but as Edmond says in the Count of Monte Cristo "they must suffer as I have suffered". Don't worry you can thank me all later.
