Throw in a my-pretty-pony for free and I might consider...
.....nah.
So when are they gonna start charging to read their dev blogs? I think that's one money-making scheme they haven't explored yet.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Perhaps they will tell us how to use Firelord Ragnaros' burning poop to get all the heating we need for the coming winter. Surely, this worths 40$ even in the middle of the financial crisis.

I dont see how charging to go to a convention virtually is any big deal.. granted, maybe 40 bucks is too much.. Id think 20 would be a fair price.. but whatever.
