This means there's the distinct possibility that the "Gigantique" Bags are as big as they'll get. This kind of money sink is just what the game needs.
With so much money flooding into the economy , the last thing Blizzard wants is having nothing for players to spend on and having gold become worthless. Although a lot of players spend for things at the Auction House such as epic gems and recipes , this money goes right back into the player base.
The only way to properly control a game economy is by having real money sinks like flight training and designer bags from NPCs. This way, the money spent is gone forever.
For role-players , Haris Pilton also offers the ultimate testament of love and money -- the Gold Eternium Band. At a staggering 3, Gold, it is the ultimate bauble. I used to enjoy sending one of Griftah's Infallible Tikbalang Wards to all my Filipino friends as an inside-joke. This was, in its own way, a small money sink. It is ridiculously more expensive than any vendor item ever.
Aside from the prohibitive costs, all her wares are limited stock items that are hopefully on very long cooldowns, making them truly exclusive, if pointless, items. How many suckers eager players will Haris snare with her new line of merchandise? More than a few, I'm willing to bet.
And with an inflating economy to control, that's a perfectly good thing. All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.

Comment by Teer The name, the look, the attitude I just love Blizzard.
Comment by Eldariel I do really think the should move her to the Shattrath prison though. It isen't very fair if only the allaince can visit her in the Stockades. It would be so busy there you would have to buy a ticket : Well, In the new to build shattrath prison then. Comment by i wonder what she drops. Anti-depression pills, dog treats and Anarexic pills. Comment by They should've put her into Arcatraz and made her an optional boss. Comment by mistwalk Preety funny blizzard :D.
Comment by Isnt she supposed to be in the Stockades? Comment by She has no point does she? Just there for giggles Most important NPC in lower city. Not part of any quests. Comment by Haris Pilton is actually almost based on a person i believe. It should be Paris Hilton. They just switched her first letters of her first name and last. Her real dog is actually Tinkerbell too.
As you see, Haris Pilton actually looks a bit like Paris Hilton. Hope this helps why he is there and why her name is like that. I just figured out about 5 minutes ago! Comment by They should make a Spritney Bears too :D That would be awesome, so she could have someone to play with. Comment by What many people doesn't know is that Haris starred in a popular TVshow called "The Hard Life" where she and Ricole Nichie spent hours farming mats for leatherworking recipes.
Comment by Lvl I guess you can buy everything for money. Comment by make her like gamon! Comment by In patch 2. Update: All rings are white and serve no purpose but for shows. And, of course, another money sink. Comment by Dealoras No, she is NO longer associated with Lower City, so all the items she sells have fixed prices and you won't get a discount.
Comment by I love the fact that she's selling a rather expensive bag :D, you hardly ever see "Paris hilton" without a expensive purse ;? Comment by Herbhaven Blizzard wants you to hate her. And they're doing a good job at it. Comment by Flameenix I personally don't think these will impact inflation too much, as the products are aimed mainly at those who already have a lot of money. Inflation affects the poor more than the rich, they're the ones who struggle to keep up with the competitive prices, and they're competing only with the other people who still havn't maxed out their skills and enchants etc.
Who also are going to be too focused on fulfilling their own goals in terms of gear etc. Essentially, these bags will be a last priority for most people, so therefore by the time you can afford these, you won't be dabbling much with AH prices anyway. Sure money is taken from the game, but only from the very rich. And inflation is a real problem, on my server Deathwing, EU we've experienced Greater Planar Essence jumping from a steady 5g to a now seemingly steady 14gg.
Comment by Ahhh How many people are going to be torn between buying her items and their pride of hating Paris? Waves hand People, you don't want to buy from her. Comment by no no, you're all confused, Haris Pilton IS the 24 slot bag Nice Touch! Comment by I just wish there was a quest where you could just go in and kill her.
Comment by Lemma So you guys think it's cool to have a Paris Hilton in-game? Are you serious? I can only imagine the Blizzard designer that actually conceived this idea; He probably watches those celebrity stalker shows.
And now, in patch 2. Comment by im buyn at least 3 of the 22 slot bags. Comment by Flameenix The basis of my argument though is that these supremely rich people, these people with g to throw on 2 bag slots, already have all that.
Yet I don't believe that this alone is what is causing inflation. The source of inflation isn't rich people with a lot of money, splashing out on items whether they need them or not. It's the daily quests which are causing all of the commotion. Think about it, people who complete daily quests, to be truthful arn't making the best money possible, there are far greater methods, to name a few All methods dominated by the rich who know what they're doing, whatever that method may be. However, the daily quests are inducing inflation, inevitably it is a lot of money coming into the game.
Rich people don't "create" this money, they simply trade their raw materials whatever they may be, for it. The rich are essentially, not to blame, they just happen to end up with the money, nor are they they people who splash out all their money on the AH raising prices, if anything they'll be on the look out for the cheaper items over which they can make some profit.
So who is causing inflation ultimately? Well in fact, it's the average joe, completing his daily quests, their majority hence average is the influx behind the money pouring into the economy, and the apparent sensation of being a little bit "richer than before" probably pushes them into buying over priced items, and afterall, what choice do they have? Comment by None of the items have any level requirements, which of course means you will have the best looking level 1 twink or bank alt in the game.
Comment by This is basically going to be the money drain shop. If you are serious about your gold Don't waste ur money here unless your desprate for extra bag slots. Comment by Gusstavv Haris Pilton is an American celebutante, singer, actress, model, and businesswoman.
