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, no matter what the final costs actually are, you WILL need to buy an elite steed (riding skill) before you can buy (and quest) a Netherdragon. That's all I wanted to say;)
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.
