No. Buy one now. There is still plenty of time for you to save up more gold before the expansion, and in the meantime, you'll get to enjoy your epic flyer for a good number of months. =)

I'd buy the mount - the earliest possible time the price could drop would be the release of WotLK, which probably won't be until November at the earliest.

And even then, the price may not drop, depending on what they do with siege weapons / flying mount in Northrend tax.

He never said the 5k price would drop, only that if they add another level(375) to it the price would be lower. You'll still be shelling out 5k.

I totally agree. When you look at the 5000g price tag, first thing that springs to mind is "damn thats going to take a long time" but in reality what with all the daily quests and regular quests giving a good 7-9g at 70 it doesn't. Not to mention you can easily make 2000g just by levelling to 70. Then add professions into the mix and you can make the gold for it easily. Yeah it takes a bit of effort and some hard work but its well worth it (to me anyway).

When Wotlk is released i hope its lowered and the next level of skill riding if there is one, won't be too high. After all most of us have paid 5000g, the next one shouldn't be as steep.

I have 6 70's with 2 more to hit 70 in the next month or so. That being said, three of them have elite flyers. Until you have one it doesn't seem like such a big deal. Then once you get used to one and have to play a toon still using a normal flyer it feeling like swimming through pond scum . . . in winter . . . with ankle weights.

I am interested to see if anyone else agrees with this. Not flaming your comment, but I love my epic flyers and don't think it's that bad, once you determine to do it. I've bought 2 of my own and one for my friend, and my drood will have one whenever she makes her way up there.

AH Epics are replaced, but 280% is forever.*




*Offer excludes 71-77.

You're the first person I've ever seen say this. I bought my first one when I was pretty much a noob, and it was a pretty hard grind for me to scrape up that much gold. I never regretted it though. The speed of the mount made farming so much easier that I was back up over 2K in just a matter of days.

And now, I've just gotten an alt up to 70, and the pokey slow regular flying mount is just to annoying for words. I'll be buying another shortly.

I had the same experience roughly that Dan said in his reply. Took me forever to gring that first 5k, but it was so worth it. I love flying fast. Makes daily's much more lucritive.

I was back to 2500k in 2 weeks. And I'm a casual player. My second 70 had her epic flyer about 10 days after she made 70. That was pretty cool, and I'll do it again.

Why the heck would Matta's comment be voted down? He didn't say anything offensive, and he's certainly entitled to his opinion. I swear, sometimes I think this comment system is just bullocks.

As far as epic flying mounts go, they are certainly worth the investment. However, I would really only get one for toons who have gathering professions.

I agree completely. I have 2 70s, and no intention of buying an epic flyer on either of them, particularly since the vast majority of my time is spent in Azeroth.

If I could use them in Azeroth (even just as a land mount), I'd be tempted, if only to save the bag space, but even then, probably not.

I certainly see the use, and why many would go for it, but to me, the usefulness is outweighed by the astronomical cost. 2000g would be far more appropriate.

Was voting this comment down really nessesary? S/He's not being rude to anyone, flaming, or trolling. They stated simply stated they're regret. So what it's not the exact same view of everyone else here and going on about how easy the money was to obtain. No reason at all to do that to them ya'll.

wow, bad typos *sigh* sry guys... Remove a 'stated' and make it 'their' not 'they're'
