A few days ago a story started making the rounds about a lady who placed a craigslist ad offering to trade sex for a flying epic mount or at least the 5000 gold required to buy one. While buying gold is clearly a violation of the TOS, this situation isn't specifically called out in the rules. Her toon is Horde on Uther which puts 5000 Gold at a street value of about $639.45. As you can imagine this story made it to just about every WoW related forum on the web with people taking special note of the photo the poster included, especially her bangs. We all pointed, laughed, and assumed that was the end of it.



We were wrong.Very, very wrong.

Apparently some strapping young nerd took her up on the offer, threw down the loot, and got a mount of his very own. We know this because she posted a new listing on craigslist bragging about it and showing pics of her newly purchased flying epic mount. Of course it was filled with a lot of rubbing-it-in-your-face-shit and ended with these words for all her critics:

So talk all the trash you want, I got MY flying epic mount AND I got laid which is more than most of you failures can ever hope for.



I wonder what I could get for some pre-BC BOE purples I've got collecting dust in the bank?

Looking at the pic I think I would rather make out with a Murloc then mount that for 5k!! Scary thought. At least she was concerned that the John (that's what they call guys that screw Hookers!!) was drug and disease free! I wonder if he took that into consideration himself? "I grant ye 5000 gold and an epic mount for herpes! I thanketh thee!"

I don't play that game anymore, but they never delete your account (they just freeze it...probably because they know it's like crack and you'll be back), so I still have lots of stuff...never knew I could be using it to get laid.

She looks okay to me...I'd hit that for 5k.

she's only 31! you'd think that devoting most of your time to video games would help one age a bit more gracefully than she has.

i doubt it, despite people selling gold, such actions are technically against the contract of the game. There really can't be a market value decided on sex. As far as the government is concerned, she had sex with a guy and the guy gave her ingame money.

So paying for sex is illegal but how about bartering?

I'm no attorney, but I recall other WoW legal issues in which virtual items are not considered property, and so you can't charge someone with theft for stealing your sweet snicker snacking Vorpal sword, etc. So, I would assume that because she recieved only virtual money (legally, nothing) in payment, it wouldn't count as prostitution.

It's not outside of the realm of possibilities, but I've still got my money on this being a hoax.

I think I know who took her up on this. It's kind of a shame, the guy being a rock star and all, that he'd have to stoop this low to get a groupie.

Bangs
Above your eyes your hair hangs
Blow my mind your royal flyness I dig your bangs
Bangs
To drape across your forehead
To swing concordant angles as you incline your head
Once with a girl I fell in love sometime ago now she had...
Bangs
Are that on which the world hangs
I'm only holding your hand so I can look at your bangs
Bangs
Are like a pocket T-shirt
As casual as that while fully intentional
And in case you think I'm here cause I like making chit chat
Just remember what I said the money's under your hat



There is a very fine line between cute/nerdy love song and "getting downright creepy." This song has been crossing that line in my mind since I rediscovered it on their boxed set.

If the street value of 5000 gold is $639.45 then she is the most expensive ugly hooker I have ever seen. whatever
