Quote:Blizzard has said that the way to get flying mounts will involve more then just paying a ton of gold to a vendor. I expect something like the pally or warlock quests, something that everyone can do but will also be additional content.Well, I was a bit off as far as Expert Riding goes, but read yourself the latest news bit from the BC Beta:
No need to act like the sky is falling regarding mount costs. While 900g for an epic mount is a lot of money for a casual player, it is very very achievable through the two years we have had the game. I would not worry that they will make flying mounts cost more gold than their core customer can get in a reasonable time period.
