The reason being is because I don't find any value in glowy items, forum titles, access to an empty room. I wasn't interested in being drow, I didn't need more character slots, the head start is useless (who cares !? who are you racing?) and beta access that I was able to obtain through the internet anyways. This is my opinion now.
Furthermore, a Rank 3 Horse Mount from the Zen store was $30. I don't know why people are throwing around higher numbers. If you want a different type of mount, fine, but the cheapest (and usually most practical) Rank 3 Mount was an Armored Horse for $30.
The Dire Wolf and Panther companion can be great and all. They can be purple and the darkest purple on the planet. It still won't change the fact that I absolutely loved using the Cleric companion. With that being said, the Zen Cleric sucks and the packs don't come with a Cleric. So I find no value in the companions that come with the packs. As established, you don't have use Zen or purchase the Pack to get a good companion. Their are just as favorable ones, IMO, in game. Especially if you agree with me that the Cleric is the way to go !
So, for my example, I spent $100 = 10,600 Zen (standard rates for this example).
3,000 Zen = Rank 3 mount
2,000 Zen = 2 Big Bags (24 Slots)
2,000 Zen = At 500 AD Exchange, will convert to 1 MILLION Diamonds.
3,600 Zen = Left over for whatever you want !! rune wards, more bags, more AD, etc..
I am not saying the Packs are bad. I'm just stating that from my own opinion, which is a min/maxing standpoint, as it pertains to actual in-game benefits, I believe Zen to be the better value.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the mount and companion from the guardian pack is available for every character that you ever create, whereas the mounts and companions that you purchase from the zen store can only be used by a single character. This makes the guardian pack a huge value over buying individual zen items.

you are right, also they got their numbers wrong, Ive been playing since BW1 and the price of a rank 3 mount is 4000 zen or $40, but yah with zen you buy per character with packs it is usually per account
Don't feel bad about it I read it and was like "that isn't what I typed wow that seems very horrible and was not my intention."
I had typed it in word then copied and pasted over here and I must not have selected all of the text.
I am really sorry for how that posted sounded.
These forums are renown for losing parts of posts, it happened to me about 10 times so far. The worse time was the first one when I typed a 200+ word explanation of stuff and it got cut down to 4 words .
Anyway as to Zen vs Guardian Pack, like I stated else where the pack is better value for money unless you dont want a horse or a big Wolf.

Last I knew the Zen store mounts were account-wide. The companions are per character.
