This is why I stopped wanting to be a trooper.
Also if Blizzard does that: ALL MAI MONEHS!
Spoilered for bigness.

Spoiler:

Although sadly it probably is a reference to the Celestial Steed.
But we can pretend it's a my little pony reference!

I think the author's name for that article appears to be "Princess Celestia." Now what is she doing in our PC Gamer? Oh look, a poll about bananas!.... *shot to the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON*

I love that trooper article, it's so true. It's no wonder the trooper is the least popular class in our guild. I'm not complaining mind you, I like being in the minority.

As for the ponies, I'm a tad disappointed that they are making pegasi instead of unicorns, but I'll take it. Now the only question is: where can I find someone who can tattoo a pony's flank?

Trooper is the least popular class in general. Polls will tell you Smuggler, but that has slowly been changing the past few weeks. It is because everyone views the Trooper as the designated tank, when they can actually do many things with the class. Tanks, at least good tanks, is the rarest commodity in MMOs. My friend became such a good Paladin tank in WoW that guilds paid him to run raid with him. He wasn't even asking for money, but his skill made him renown as one of the best tanks you can find so people just started to offer him gold and items just to run raids. Luckily, our guild seems very balanced, according to our SWTOR page at least. Sure we have a few more Smugglers than everything else, but we have a good amount of everything. Plenty of people to be prospective tanks!

Awww man, you have to stay for the concert to get your pony. I prefer to leave early, as I beat the rush out of parking and I don't care for heavy metal.
