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?

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.
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.
Sadly they sell many. They sell them in batches like twice a year and they sell out in seconds.
