Blizzard is Printing More Money!

We all knew it would happen again, the question was not if, it was when, and that time has come. Last year Blizzard introduced, for the first time ever, an in game mount for all of your characters that was purchasable for 25 dollars. It was the celestial steed and God it had to be the ugliest, re-skinned piece of crap I've ever seen:

However, the playerbase proved their willingness to spend real life money on ugly in game mounts; if you will believe it Blizzard was making 500,000 dollars an hour for the first four to five hours. That huge pile of cash for a mount that essentially was the Algalon skin strapped onto the Invincible model. Of course they would do it again! They had to!

Recently mmo-champion datamined some screenshots of a flying lion thing and there was speculation of what it would be. Now Blizzard has released an official screenshot of it and said that it will be the next mount added to their store; it will probably cost $25 bucks like the star pony.

First I'd like to say that this mount looks way better than the star pony, at least they put some effort into it this time. I still won't be buying it though as I don't believe paying for in game items in a subscription based game is worth my money. But, I respect people's right to use their money however they see fit and Blizzard's right to do this as long as they don't start giving in game advantages through the store. And I'm sure thousands upon thousands of people will buy it and Blizzard will effectively print another truckload of money.

So I pose a question to you readers, would you pay $25 for an in game mount in a subscription based game and do you believe that it is "right" or "ok" for Blizzard to use development time on premium content only available to those that pay more?
