I'm all for spending real money for mounts, to a point, and minions. I think anything over 10, if it isn't glamoured to all hell is not worth it.

I mean I don't know how much cash I blew through when I played wow trying to get the Swift Spectral tiger, took me years to finally get it, and I probably would have saved just buying it outright from eBay.

With that being said, 99 runs takes literally a few days with dedicated people. I don't want to see any of the primal mounts on the cash shop, solely because I farmed 99 totems for them, and it would feel like a slap in the face. Even with Sophia choosing to give me a bird on my 98th kill >.>
