Quote:Ever wondered why Blizzard was suddenly so "generous" to give players access to the whole palette of finest elite mounts for just 100g each (90g with faction bonus) in patch 1.12.1?
<speculation>
:baffle:
Look, an epic mount costs about 1000g. It still costs 1000g. The flying mounts are going to cost something in terms of time and/or money. If they kept the old 20g riding skill, then the mounts themselves would cost more. Or if they were going to be quested, the fact that the are counting on you paying for journeyman riding means they can cut out a quest step where you have to turn in 25 felsteel bars or some such.
If you want to have cross faction mounts, it just got 810g easier. That's all this change means.
