Paris Hilton Parody Curbs WoW Gold Inflation
To help curb the rampant inflation in World of Warcraft, Blizzard has crafted the game's largest money-sink to date and managed to comment on America's (least) favorite socialite, all at the same time.
Though the "Haris Pilton" character has been in the game for months now, Blizzard has finally given her something to do, aside from illicit snickers from players who recognize the reference.
Beginning with patch 2.4.3, Pilton will offer players a line of high-end bags and jewelry designed to free them of their excess cash. The "Gigantique" bag for instance, is larger than any other general-purpose bag in the game currently, but will lighten your wallet by 1,200 gold.
Just be sure to wash it before you strap it onto any delicate parts of your body.
"Gigantique" and the Gold burn of Patch 2.4.3 [WoW Insider]

why not just have her give blow jobs, flash her twat, or make porno's with the players? don't elevate her w/ fashion accessories, bring things down to her level. oh, and her lazy eye.

As a former WoW player I can tell you right now that this stupid money sink will solve nothing. People will just buy the gold with real life money just like they have been doing with every other money sink.

"YAHOO front page? really?"
Ya, Yahoo is slipping faster and faster every day.

Because none of us have enough things to care about in the real world, we now have an imaginary world from which news stories are vomited forth. Is this really NEWS WORTHY? People at Yahoo I implore you to think about it!

I can't believe Yahoo chooses to report on this instead of more attention-worthy news, such as the situation in Darfur or the war in Iraq. Our society has fallen so low.

I think it's funny and i don't really go to yahoo for CNN-worthy front page news (for that, I go to, uhm, CNN) so for me, it's ok for yahoo to post interesting nonsense. Maybe they can label it as such so as not to offend the sensibilities of other readers.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S EASIER. LOSING YOUR STUFF DURING PVP. This is Why I never Play WoW! There's no point to PVP'n against someone else, it sucks, and this one sink hole won't help.
EVE Online is alot better since everything's Player controlled and you will lose your ship. That's why there's more WoW players, they cannot handle the loss.
