It's a horse with armor on, and the caption tells me that it costs real world money and so on. While I don't think this is a huge improvement a panel from this◊ is still an improvement.

...my first reaction is "meh".

Too much text.

As I said, the current one has nothing going for it. I'm not fond of the one I suggested, but the current does nothing.

Yeah, current is definitely JAFAAC.

The suggestion is way too textheavy for my taste. Then again, the current is prime JAFAAC.

What about something around TF2's absurd collection of hats? Perhaps this collage◊ or a small portion of it?

Alternatively, a screenshot from the "Mann Co. Store"; specifically one where Ze Goggle's description is shown?

Motion to pull, JAFAAC.

I am neutral on the suggested replacement, but the current pic doesn't help.

Could a purchase screen (not necessarily in World Of Warcraft) be a good option?

Clock is set.

By my reading, Helter, Strata, Septimus and myself are in favor of pulling the current image, and nobody has objected to that. Shall I go ahead and pull it?

I don't really mind it, myself.

I don't think it's bad enough to pull. Certainly bad enough we should be looking for a better one, but not bad enough to pull with no replacement.

Maybe a few panels from this comic: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=300 I'm thinking panels 5+6 (maybe 5-8), plus the last panel for fun?

Alternatively, I pulled this from the page: 1◊

I fixed the link, you can't hotlink in here.

Thanks.

That would be an improvement, yes.

For variety (with regards to this topic, though probably not the wiki as a whole), panel 3.

I like that one.

It's pretty funny. However, it does serve an in-game purpose by giving the player an advantage. As such, I'd say it would be a better fit for Bribing Your Way to Victory.

I could have sworn we used that bear one for something at some point...I know I've seen it on this forum. It's probably the best one so far. In any case, no matter what we decide, I still say pull the image.

Agreed, and the tropes are already... murky enough that we don't want to risk any confusion. I say add the Tetris one to Bribing Your Way to Victory, which is currently imageless anyway.

Using a suggestion I made before, here's something I put together based on TF2's online store: [1]◊

Things to note in the picture: Ze Goggles do nothing and the requirement to spend the $20 in one purchase to qualify for the "free item".

The Tetris pic works great for Bribing Your Way to Victory. I can't look at the TF2 pic right now on a computer, is it at wiki size?

The proposed TF2 image:

I could get behind the TF 2 shop image, but I'd cut out the bottom row. Needlessly long.

Also, the whole Goggles Do Nothing is kind of lost on me, since I didn't know what that "Nothing" meant. I assumed it meant there was no flavor text, personally.

But all-in-all, it's still a good image.

EDIT: And I know this is off topic, but are the item prices in pounds? If so, why does the banner say $20?
