Still, I can understand the idea of being a 'collector' or just having vanity stuff you enjoy – and used to use the Firefly pet constantly in TBC and the majority of WotLK.

Yet now goblinish ways are setting in and I've not done a single 'vanity' achievement for months, let alone vanity pets or mounts.
