Cash shop pricing is getting a bit much...

.. only not. the most equivalent game sells their mounts and and cosmetic items for equal or higher prices.

It's not reasonable to ask for things to be on sale simply because you personally do not want to pay for them at the going rate.

Which is where they got their prices from. Everything on there is also account wide. Sparkle pony was $25 USD as a charity item which started it, along with 1 or more that followed until they just started releasing them without the charity attached and made it the base price.

You know what WoW also has? The Spectral Tiger, maybe if you ask nicely SE will let you buy a mount for >$1500 USD too.

No, its perfectly reasonable to be seeking lower prices. We know why Blizzard chose their price, why did SE other than to copy the competition? Do they not feel they could increase the volume of sales or is it the same stubbornness leading to cyclic content? Steam works for a reason.

Maybe the "going rate"... Is bad??? /think

Bad. To someone who can't afford it? sure. Bad in a sense that it's overpriced? The amount of people buying it says it's not.

I'm not sure why you're mentioning steam. Steam has sales, so does the mogstation. Seeking lower prices? sure. Claiming inflation where there is none, complaining about set prices and saying it should be lower simply because you don't wish to pay? That's entitled. The spectral tigers price is set by the players, imagine if people could sell the zentetsuken emote or the 1.0 gobbue? That would probably be just as prohibitive.

Copy the competition? Sure that's smart, look at what the going rate is and price accordingly. How is that a surprise or a devious practice?

It's not a conspiracy, it's not a devious plot, it's a shop you can choose to use or not on your own.

For those who haven't played WoW...what is this? Is there really a mount in WoW that costs that much???

There is. They used to have a card game, and some cards gave you codes for mounts or minions. the game has since been discontinued and yes you can find ebay posts (usually not realistic) for that price.
