Why would I possibly consider buying an obscenely priced Yak when I can't even use it for other characters? If it was account wide at least I could say, "Well it's only a few thousand gold per character". But now?

My mechano hog is on a character I don't use much anymore, and I was really looking forward to using it on anothers. I'm not going to buy another. This goes doubly so for the Vial drake.

Seriously, way to completely undermine this feature.
