Default Blizzard Launches World of Warcraft Pet Store
Looking for some companionship on your travels through Azeroth? Then you're in luck! Blizzard Entertainment has announced that they've launched a World of Warcraft Pet Store today, allowing users to purchase in-game pets for cold, hard cash. Currently available are the Pandaren Monk and Lil' K.T., the Littlest Lich. Priced at $10 each, half of the proceeds from Monk sales will be given to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Hit-up the official Pet Store FAQ to learn more!

Oh my word, haha, coincidence you can get your Pandaren pet only after WoW is rejected from China?

I bet Blizzard is already deeply involved in designing a shop where the avid WoWer can purchase a Girl/Boyfriend better suitable for the gamers' special needs and day rhythm than the one usually available in Life ® !

Is there anything in the game u cannot pay hard cash for lol.

When i said 2 years ago blizzard started milking i never expected they go this far, i expect this kind of things from free to play MMO's where they need that kind of cash to keep the servers up.

I'll bet a friend of mine that still plays wow will buy one, he bought one of those 175 euro wow dolls.

Nearly the entire game? You can't buy gear, you can't buy levels, you can't buy exp. So they are selling crappy in game pets that have no real bearing on the actual game, no big deal.
