Kind of a rip off for not that much faster than is already available.And no one is forcing you to ride around on a bright pink drake (which is actually insanely awesome, if you don't realize that it's your own fault), so if you don't like it, then don't use it; it's not like you get to your destination THAT much faster anyway. Stop complaining!
why have 330% mounts?... y not give us teleporters? o you wanna go to this exact corrd... ok here ya go!... i swear im not trying to be sarcastic at all... *wink*
that's why im saving my gold! ur talking 6 lvl 80s here for a total of 30k! lol
My main already has a +310% flying form :)
@ DardanDK Flying in cataclysm is free. Once you get the training in Outland you could go straight to Azeroth and fly.5k for 310% speed is definitely worth it. It costs the same amount to go from 150% to 280% and which is a 130% increase (since they buffed Expert Riding). Going from 280% to 310% is the same increase, but we'll be making a lot more in the expansion.I wonder if Epic Flight training will decrease, but they already let it decrease with rep, and with spell ranks removed, we won't get that giant loss of money every ten levels. We don't really know how the gold rewards will end up in 1-60 zones either. If you use your professions you could probably end up with 5k pretty easy, even while leveling.
my opinion? 5000g is WAY much. lets look at this.is it now 10g for +60%? 60% upgrade, 10g.then about 50-100 for +100 witch is a 40% upgrade for ~75g?after this, 100~200g, 150%. 50% upgrade, 150g.finally, 4000-5000g for 280% for a 130% increase. it almost doubles your speed for 5000g, but still a lot compared to the others.now, 4000-5000 more g, and we are increasing to 310. only 30% more. that is nothing compared to the other increases, and I for one, will not spend 5k on 30% speed. the old curve of speed was:----/---/--/-//now it is:---------|---------|---------|---------|_____/if you guys know what I mean. it is not worth it at all, at a money to speed ratio.
Peeps paid that much for the difference between flying and epic flying. Imma gonna go out on a limb here and say that YES peeps will pay 5K for 310% speed. Queue starts behind me.
Needs to be 10kFor anyone who does dailies on occasion, or has profitable professions, or simply knows how not to throw money away, it's easy to acquire 5k gold right now during LK expansion.With Cata, simply leveling to 85 will most likely net you an easy 2k from quest gold and vendoring unwanted quest rewards. Or mining, skinning, and herbalism will make large amounts of gold early on via auction house, due to those who actively work on their professions to max it out, and THEN make their gold with their new items they can craft.Some people work their asses off to earn their first 310 mount. Whether it's getting a black/plauged proto drake early, or farming up your rusted/ironbound and icebound/bloodbathed. Whether it's waiting around for a full year to get simple yet annoying achievements, or getting lucky with a rare mount that is 310 already.Selling 310 for 5k just seems way too easy for the hard work people put in.
Heh, remember something here.... you don't have to buy it; if you want to stay at 150 your free to. Any and all mount payment after 60 is for vanity reasons after all; you want to go faster after all.
