ROAAAR.
I want to get in a few 50-59 games to parade around on my kitty. :P
Epic kitty FTW!
Get the gray one. I personally think it looks the best with all the tier sets for rouges. All there black sets look really good on a Gray cat.

You buy like 10,000 Runecloth and turn it in....Hard..?

Considering it is close to the same price as an epic mount (and cheaper when you're finally exalted), yes. It's much harder. You have to buy the runecloth, find a way to manage it and make countless trips back and forth from the auction house, mailbox and the cloth quartermaster.
Plus, if you want to save 100-200g, you bid on runecloth that's the lowest price instead of doing buyouts.
In conclusion, yes, obtaining exalted status is much harder than buying the actual mount. :P

I never said it was harder then buying an actual mount, and no one's making you get the runecloth you buy as soon as it's in your mailbox, (besides that it's like two clicks away if you're in IF), and turning it in is just a little more walking around, I'd hardly consider it "work". :P
But then again I've actually earned the gear I have, so work to you is probably going to be a lot less then to me in general.

Who dosent earn their gear? I mean you have some idiots that get a 60 join a good guild and then the guild just gives them free gear. But in sidohs defence I know he probally busted his ass in a million AV/WSG/AB games to get to wear he is know. I can pretty much tell you the same for his priest since his guild runs like BWL and MC every weekend and shit.

It's a tiger. Why the fuck would I be in Ironforge? I've had my Hearthstone set to Darnassus for 3 weeks. Nothing in this game is "work." Comparative to other MMO's (not including GW), this game is rediculously easy. By "work" I mean time. Anything that consumes time in this game should be considered "work" if the term is used at all. It costs around the same amount of money and takes up waaaay more time. Therefore, it's a lot more work. You can simplify it by saying what you did a few posts ago, but it's totally irrational and overly stupid.
If you think that it is even arguable that the time and money additively spent on buying the mount is easier than obtaining the faction, give me figures. Show me numbers. Otherwise, I'd appreciate it if you didn't speak out of failed attempts to seem mystically wise.
I haven't earned my gear? Do you realize that healing is, in general, the most difficult, attention-whoring role in the game? You have a lot more room to slack off with any other class. If you don't think I've earned my gear, I suggest you try playing a Priest in high-end instances before you come to such rash, incorrect conclusions.
I really don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I've worked damn hard to be where I am now.
Isn't screenor like 15?

Not usually. I definitely don't think so in this case, at least.
Screenor, you joined a guild with BWL on farm status, when I joined my guild, we were not even close to Rag, now we're on Broodlord Lashlayer. WHAT YOU'VE DONE IS NOT WORK. Thank you, that will be all.

Another good point. I joined when we first started to down Vael.
What does he know about real work? He probably doesn't have to do any real work to earn money to pay for his game time. ( If he is 15 )
I was not talking about the priest, you yourself have posted many times how people send you weapons, in my case I've farmed for every peice of gear I own. (It's ALL pvp gear, thus I've put a huge amount of work into my rogue.)

Just...shut up. The only peice of gear I've gotten from them is Nightslayer Gloves, what I've done with my character is infact work, and by Sidoh's definition a huge amount of time. Me getting into a good guild was my reward, my server has two guilds actually farming BWL, me being a rogue I was infact possibly one of the luckiest people there is to get in.

The fact that I'm 15 doesn't matter at all, I do infact take care of this whole house I live in because my parents are rarely here, much less I have a younger brother that I need to keep inline and make sure he gets what he needs to get done. I'd damn well say I've earned my money to play this game. (Chores or not, it's work, and a lot more then you will find most people my age doing.)
QuoteIt's a tiger. Why the fuck would I be in Ironforge?
Well, IF is a lot easier to make trips back and forth from the mailbox, I'd just fill up my bags with runecloth and then get a portal over to Darnassus. That's how I'd do it if I were a human, anyway.
Furious: How old are you? You act as if I'm not here in your posts. What do you mean "real work"? If you're doing something that makes you money, it's work. Period. You're a moron if you think anything else. For instance, my step-dad has a friend who all he does is sell things he finds at yard sales on ebay, and he lives in an amazingly nice house, and he's a good 55+ years old, and has more of a party life then most college students today, and he has all that free time to do so because he makes his work so easy, and knows how to make a comfortable living for himself.
I guarentee you that if people like Sidoh or Newby wanted, they could make more money then people twice their age, with half the physical "work" you seem to be getting at. Age is not an obstacle for most anything in this world, so I recommend you go rethink your logic.
When I actually do work, I generally get paid twice as much as my dad.
EDIT -
For clarification, I mean by hour.

That's not work, that's being a part of a family and helping out, that's a responsibility. They feed you, cloth you, let you live there, you owe them.

It's not a valid comparison, considering you've probably only worked once or twice. -_-
I've worked several times. I pissed my money away like a kid, but I make incredible money when I actually do something.

Most people can...
Isn't incredible relative? If most people could make incredible amounts of money, then it isn't so incredible. :)

It depends on your frame of referance. That aside, I said "can," implying a possiblity, not a continuing existance.
Well it wouldnt matter if it was even just possible. If I said "I can do this!" and someone else said "Well, so can I", and thousands of people chimed in, that wouldn't make what I can do very incredible. It just has to be possible to negate the incredibility. :P

Potential isn't incredible. I said most people could. I didn't say most people have, are or will apply their potential.
Well, let's put it this way. My parents payed me $20 for around 5 minutes of work, reformatting two computers for a garage sale. Figure that my dad makes $20 an hour.. gross ($10 takehome) and I'm making 12 times in net what he makes in gross.

Your hourly pay is higher. Your net pay is not. Parents often pay their children large sums of money for small amounts of work. It is their way of rewarding their child for staying in line and encouraging them to continue that pattern.
His net pay would be listed on his pay check. I'm nearly positive that number would be a lot higher than the one listed on your "paycheck." If not, you'd probably be living in a refridgerator box. :P
It was less of me staying in line and more of me having an IT monopoly over this household, but yeah, I see where you're coming from.

Your point? I don't see you saying I don't know what real work is anymore. If I wasn't here taking care of everything they don't do I guarentee this house probably wouldn't even be standing. This may sound conceited but it's how things work.
