World of Warcraft's Real Epic Mount



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?

You know, I don't imagine finding my next sex partner that way, but if it worked out for the parties involved, I say more power to them.

Oh, and by the way: nothing screams "I'm a virgin" like assuming that a woman with a slightly goofy haircut and a not so flattering camera smile must necessarily blow in the sack.

I, for one, never said that she must be a terrible lay. I just said that she is incredibly unattractive.

You must have one of those resolution-enhancing thingies then that they use on TV all the time. All I can tell from that tiny, blurry photo is that, well... it's a rather unflattering photo. wink

Why did no one ever explain to women that only a minority can really pull off bangs like that? I shudder to be so reminded of my cornfield upbringing.

There's enough detail to see that she's not attractive.

So... Most women I know are whores. Hell, going by that strict legal definition, I'm a man-whore because, in my last relationship, I let the girl I was seeing pick up the tab on most things (actually, we would fight about it, and she would win by threatening to go all diesel dyke on me).



To clarify....There must be a negotiation that explicitly states that "consideration x" is being traded for "sexual favor y".

If, in the course of arguing over the check for dinner, the agreement was that if she paid for dinner, you would perform certain sexual acts with/too her (and if you paid for dinner you wouldn't) then you have prostituted yourself (and possibly commited "attempted extortion" or "extortion", but we'll save those legal definitions for another time).

THAT's an unlikely scenario. I love sex way too much to ever use it as a bargaining chip.

And our arguing over who would pick up the tab was mostly, "I've got it," and then, "Nonsense! I'll take care of it," followed by, "I'm a man, dammit! I'll buy," which prompted a response of, "I'm not falling into heteronormative gender roles with you. I'm paying, and that's the end of it," to which I would reply, "Yes, efendi".

Actually, I believe the incident you're referring to was the one that happened in Korea. In China, MMORPGs aren't games, they're strictly business.

And the game wasn't WoW, either. I seem to recall it being in Lineage II.

I'm always weary with online games, I mean I play WoW and RF Online these days and level up and mess around a bit when I'm bored but to some kids this shit is strictly life.
I remember a while ago when I played WoW some kid kept trying to beat me in PvP, he was so stubborn and always lost. A few days later some guy on the same server as me recognized my username, he went to college with the kid and said he did nothing but bitch about how I kept managing to kill him, even going so far to miss classes to try and level all in the effort to beat me. I mean I felt kind of sorry for him a little, that this game meant so much to him that he'd fuck up his real life just for some satisfaction in the game.

Also this story reminds me of the girl in everquest who had sex with about 3 guys just to get all the gear she wanted, back when that was popular.
