Not seeing the diff..The difference is this: If you were to buy Sam & Max and you have TF2- Great, you get new hats! It's a little incentive to buy a whole game. This mount thing is BUYING CONTENT for a game. It's not an incentive to buy the same, you're paying your way up the ladder.

Blizzard just made $2M in 4 hours.More than Tieno will make in his 10 lifetimes. Tieno
Have people noticed that this horse is half the cost of an expansion? Have people noticed that many other games, like Champions Online or City of Heroes, offer more items for less cost? Has anyone noticed that this horse actually provides an in-game "advantage," as all of your alts now no longer have to purchase mounts with gold, they'll just have the horse to ride around on from level 20 on up? Where is all of the standard whining and complaining? What makes Blizzard allowed to do this and other companies become the devilspawn when they try it?It's ok, it's Blizzard!If this was any other video game company, especially Cryptic or Gala-Net or even Turbine, people would be rioting in the streets. Instead, I drop by the World of Warcraft forums, and I find a huge thread of people defending the addition of the overpriced mount.So, let's recap. 20 dollar backpack expansion from Allods Online: Bad. 10 dollar respec in Champions Online: Terribly bad. 25 dollar mount in World of Warcraft: OMGEPICMUSTBUYT3HPRETTY!!!!!1@2. Also, the latter comes with odd amounts of drooling, seizures, and compulsive credit card stroking.We seem to be engaged in a horrific double standard. We have people who find spending 25 bucks on a single item appalling when it's done in a F2P game, but seriously ok when it's done in World of Warcraft.
Character respecs are available in those games for in-game currency as well, but they make them available as a microtransactions too.
There are idiots on every gaming platform and there are idiot fans of every genre. Ones like buying expensive maps for MW2, others hats for tuftoo and others pets like this.

Yeah, but if you /could/ she'd actually be someone you'd want to fuck instead of some SCA rhinoceros woman.
That's the thing. If you see someone on a Frost drake, Icebound Protodrake, of even the Violet Protodrake; you know they EARNED that mount through hard work.
