I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

At least it's not Star Citizen prices:
More like Scam Citizen.
What the fuck? Do people actually pay that for virtual bullshit? That's like the price of a used Honda!
There's also a pack containing every ship they've sold which you can only see/purchase if you've spent one thousand dollars in their ship store. I'll spoiler the price so you can try and guess how much it is first:

$48,000, not counting the $1000 you have to spend to be able to see it.Edit: I should include the source for that price since (as mentioned) you can't even see the pack until you've dropped $1k
It's intended for whales and for the 65 crew members to split. But I can't imagine they sell many.
Sadly they sell many. They sell them in batches like twice a year and they sell out in seconds.
That's still a little bit over $46 a player. So you'd have to have 65 whales agree to split it.
$46 a player isn’t unheard of, even outside whaling.
