Technically it's less than a day old, so not very old ... but we've been having a rousing discussion about it on this thread: http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1589

I'm not going to bother. Sooooo many people have one. So, I'm going to take my Baron horse, and I'm going to take my Azure netherdrake, and say "Ha! Mine are cooler AND less common!"

1st day out on Nesingwary and Skywall Dalaran was swamped with people proudly showing the mount off. I had some mad money left and got one for my account because I like its look, I can use it on all my toons (a feature I wish that would have been implemented with the Swift Zhevra mount), and that it scales with my toons riding skills.

This is what I figured. Plus someone, somewhere (wish I could remember it, dammit!) called the starts celestial fleas, which is just awesomely cool! xD

I really like it and now my alts won't have to buy flying mounts. A silver saved is a silver earned, no? ;)

I agree with you to some extent Azunara (not cooler, sorry ;P) but my netherdrakes, protodrakes, and regular ol' drakes don't scale. Why on earth would I ride around on 280% when I can go 310%?

For me that has so many alts, this is quite tempting. I was in a 40-49 BG on my paladin the other day, saw a tauren warrior with it. To have a mount mailed to every toon, that will count as a mount of every tier... so tempting. Plus it is kinda shiny...

Yeah i bought it so my alts dont have to buy mounts and it scales so my Tauren Shammy no longer has to ride a Kodo God do I hate those mounts.

I also believe that any future toons you create will also automatically get the mount. If that's true (I don't remember what it said) that's going to make it more then worth it. At least to me. I got mine. I like the whole constellation look to it also. I've always been into astronomy.

It's true, zedxrgal. It's like the boa pets from the Blizz store, any new toons get them.

So have I. But my mom and step-dad say the animation for the run looks weird (seeing as it's copying the hippogryphs, they say it runs like a pony, which I don't mind at all) and that it's a waste of 25$. I have fifteen atm. I'm screwed with getting one. :(

I love the look of the sparkly pony. I've been begging my boyfriend to buy it for me so all my alts can have a cool looking mount. =P

I just don't like the people that sit on that mount in Dal like it's some huge achievement and they are so special that they have one. All you did is pay $25. Get over yourself.
