What are you willing? WoW Power Leveling

The Celestial Steed and Lil' XT went live the other day to the delight of many, the disgust yteroiaqw of a few, and one mother of a checkout line. Toward the end of the day as I write this, the line for purchasing the mount in the North American store clocks in at 148,108 and climbing. I think it's safe to say that the shiny horse, at least, has been a runaway success.
I haven't yet bought anything from the Blizzard store, but I come from a long line of WoW Power Leveling suspicious New England cheapskates for whom saving 10¢ on bulk toilet paper was a day for the diary. Most people don't seem to have a problem with RMT (Real Money Transactions/Trading) as long as they're kept to things that don't exercise any real influence on the game. If they're just for fun and they don't give anyone an unfair advantage -- we ask reasonably -- what's the big deal? Then again, it makes me a bit sad to see brilliant new pets and mounts head straight to the store while things like the moonkin and Tree of Life models have languished for years without updates. Oh well. Everyone has mounts and pets, but not everyone plays a druid (more's the pity).
Blizzard quite clearly believes that players wow power leveling should not be skipping through wow power leveling heroic instance wow gold bosses to get to the last boss ... But do the players?
Qot: I'm wondering if there might be a role division on this topic. If you're DPS, you spent 15 minutes in the queue. Spending 10 extra minutes clearing trash and doing the optional bosses isn't awful and bumps up your badges/hour. If you're tank/heals, you spent a minute or less in the queue. In the 10 extra minutes on optionals, you could've finished this dungeon, gotten your two completion badges and be half way through a Nex or DTK random.
Gamer am I: It's sad that heroics have become so easy that people feel entitled to skip to wow gold the last boss. I think that's one of the new emblem system's failures: giving people raid-quality gear without giving them the content to use it in. As such, they get bored with heroics but don't run anything other than them, so they just want to get them over with quickly.
Docp: I think the problem is, is that people are being forced to do something they don't like in order to achieve in another aspect of the game. I think giving Frost as an incentive was a mistake; it should have just been two extra Triumphs and left at that. This way, you'd only have people who actually want to run heroics going. I'd rather have longer queues than be forced to team with grumpy people who really don't want to be there.
uncaringbear: @Docp I think you have a legitimate point there. The original idea of wow power leveling rewarding Frost emblems in heroics was to give incentive to high-end players to participate in heroics and help newer/less-geared players progress through heroics and build up their emblems. Instead, what has happened is that heroics have now become a farming ground for the high-end players who have no desire at all to run them, except to get the two Frost emblems. Many players who genuinely need to run the heroics end up being abused and criticized by the raiders for wearing level-appropriate gear and making honest mistakes.
When you force people to play a part of the game that they don't want to play, this is bound to happen. And yes, these raiders can opt to not run heroics -- but for them, that is not a choice they would ever make for fear of falling behind in progression.
Here is a suggestion: Remove the Frost emblems from wedding dresses the random heroics. This will ensure that wedding dresses the people who run the heroics are the ones who really need to run them. As an alternative, make a series of daily quests that need to be completed that will reward a total of two Frost emblems. One of the quests can be a group quest. The people who want the Frost emblems can get it on their own time without making others miserable.
Are you a speed-runner, or do you like to aion gold savor your heroics? Do you think removing aion gold Frost emblems from the daily heroic would help alleviate the teeth-grinding, "let's get this over with" attitude of some players?
I have to admit that Blizzard selling formerly TCG-only rewards like the fdshfuy1aq Path of Cenarius might make me reconsider, although I'm not sure it'd be great policy for them to undermine the card game's rewards. Have you bought anything from Blizzard's store, and do you think they should sell anything in addition to pets or mounts? Or, to put it another way, what would you love to buy?

Thanks for reading and have a good time.
