Burning Crusade profession items

[Professor Frink]

Blizzard made the change intentionally. If the skill to ride a flying mount is going to require the skill to ride an epic ground mount as a prerequisite, then they are obviously well aware of this and will adjust the cost of the flying-mount-riding-skill appropriately.

Trust me, they are not going to accidentally overcharge people 900g to ride the flying mounts. Whatever price they want people to pay is what people will have to pay. They are not going to put an accidental and pointless roadblock between their masses of core customers and the ability to ride around on a pretty dragon. They may well put some quests and other silly tasks in the way to add more "content" for those core customers to pay to go through, but that is the nature of the beast.

I haven't checked if my Commander got epic-riding for free (I assume I didn't). Saving gold was never the point (even if my time is worth nothing I probably spent more in consumeables and repair costs)... but it'd be kind of weak to have to buy epic mount solely to get a flying mount.
