3000g is very reasonable. I'd drop that much for 30% faster flying mount that you can't farm otherwise.

There is a team from the highest ranked guild on Bloodhoof server doing the same thing. But they are taking the gold and not leveling the teams.

Buyer beware

I think that this is a perfectly reasonable price tag for such a mount even after taking into account the amount of work just to be able to possibly buy it. I mean with all the gear that you will have at your disposal is it really going to be difficult to purchase any of this gear?

Yeah seems pretty cheap to me :)

Put it at 5k with the training and people will stop complaining. ANd make it look like crap and give the .5% a better looking one.

Seems cheap to me, I can farm 2500 in a week easily if nothing is going on.

I did not pvp my ass off for 3 months only to have some guy with no pvp skills just pay 3000g to get the same thing as me. I farmed 3000g in 2 days flat. If Blizzard made farming 3000g take 3 months I might reconsider. But even then it's not even fair. The only reason I'm doing this is so I can stand out from everyone else. Being the only .05% player on the server to have this mount is the most important part.

3000g... cheap. x10 to seem expensive. 3000g is too easily affordable.
Would seem more appropriate costing if he was paying 3000g per person in the original Arena team.

I'd like to echo the above comments--while 3000g isn't exactly "cheap", it still is quite easily attainable. I think that the practice of buying and selling arena teams is unethical, despicable, and where can I sign up? I mean seriously, for 3000g to get the mount and full merciless gladiator gear? If I had know that it was that cheap, I would have, well, I still wouldn't have done it, but I admit that I would have been sorely tempted...

I second Arnold(#10). 3kg for an Armored Netherdrake? Yes please.

It's not about vowing not to display the title, the mount itself serves as a title (which lasts through future seasons, by the way).

Quote: His guildmates quickly jump to his defense, saying that the mount was pretty much the only thing he couldn't farm and compared the cost to the Cenarion War Hippogryph.

Yeah, it's the only thing he can't farm because it's not supposed to be farmed. It's earned. You want an armored netherdrake? Become a leet PvPer and EARN it.

he did earn it. by paying 3000g. you do have an inkling on how property, exchange for currency and all those other econ 101 things at work here function, right?

just because he worked smarter and not harder doens't mean he still didn't earn it. if you really think effort must equal reward, then you should be blaming blizzard for allowing such nonsense.

This is a joke. The reason the armoured netherdrakes are so cool is because they are VERY VERY VERY hard to get. In my opinion, making the drakes buyable would only promote gold farming and allow lazy people to do what others had worked very very hard for.

I think I know Madawk from my old server, Vashj. (recommended server, it was terrible..)
I know what he's like, and this doesn't surprise me one bit. But it still makes me sad. He didn't earn the drake, so he shouldn't get it.

Sure, and suppose I bought a pilfered Oscar statuette on the web. Are you saying I earned it because I paid what the seller was asking for it, even if I didn't slave away to perfect a craft and actually win it?

Or say I got an authentic Super Bowl ring made and paid big bucks for it. Did I still earn it even though I never played professional football?

There's a difference between earning something by saving up enough money for it (say, a sports car) and actually earning something through skill and effort (a trophy, a ribbon, a medal, anything that is supposed to reward you for an outstanding skill or performance).

Here, I'll leave you with a little something they don't teach in econ 101: not everything has a monetary value.

Sure, everything is for sale. It's a good price.
