It was simply a choice between how to spend my time. I get nothing out of grinding any factions while i get my gold. So i bought the gold and it make my epic mount much easier to obtain. Its really a convience service imho.
And that's exactly the problem. Epic mounts weren't intended to be a right. They're a luxury. The biggest gripe I have with the gold selling system is it lets lazy fuckers just buy their mounts with RL money with little to no game time invested. This is a game. All things you achieve or acquire in the game should take in-game time. It's my personal opinion that you should be forced to grind for weeks in order to be ALLOWED to use an epic mount.

If you work 55 hours a week, then good job. You obviously have a very successful RL. Doesn't mean you should have the sole risk that comes with BWL spoon fed to you.

I didn't say "never have, never will" due to morality .. I feel no guilty feeling from the buying or selling process. What pisses me off personally is I have invested time to achieve my goals and so should everyone else. Wow. Big surprise: mmorpgs are time based. IMO if you don't have alot of time to spend you should GTFO. Spending a couple hours in BWL/AQ40, repairing with your bought gold, then logging off completely defeats the purpose of the game.

Also, for those of you that said you hate Stratholme: the reason you hate it is because you make yourself hate it. If you can't set aside 2 hours of your time to just dick around in there killing stuff, then that's sad. If your RL is so hectic you can't spend 2 hours then it boggles me why you do BWL+.
