Quote:From reading the preview, it sounds like it will be more than just money.
If I were to speculate, I would guess it will be similar to the early armor upgrade quest-line, requiring a mixture of expenses, grinding and instance boss(es).
If you watch the video, they explain that you can get them from Questing, Shopkeepers, Reputation, or combinations of those.
edit: and to throw in my own two cents, I think there will probably be one major path available for each gamestyle. So solo/small group players will probably have something like the 0.5 quest, as you say, PvP guys will probably get access to a PvP version of the mount, raiders might get it from having high reputation with a certain raid-faction.
Clearly they are very different from the Epic Mounts in that they are necessary for large chunks of content, so I suspect they'll be easier to get than some of the most cynical expect. I expect they'll be actually cheaper than normal epic mounts, but require more "effort" in the sense of having to do long, complex quest lines like the Onyxia chain.
