upcoming Mount Changes

Quote from: Zarhym (Source)
In the next major content patch, we intend to adjust mount requirements to further improve the leveling experience in World of Warcraft. In addition, cast times for summoning all mounts will be reduced to 1.5 seconds, down from 3 seconds. The following is a breakdown of the upcoming cost and level requirement changes we are making for each riding skill.

Apprentice Riding (Skill 75)

* 60% land mount speed
* Requires level 20
* Cost: 4 gold
* Mount cost: 1 gold
* Mail will be sent to players at level 20 guiding them to the riding trainer

Journeyman Riding (Skill 150)

* 100% land mount speed
* Requires level 40
* Cost: 50 gold
* Mount cost: 10 gold
* Mail will be sent to players at level 40 guiding them back to the riding trainer

Expert Riding (Skill 225)

* 150% flying mount speed; 60% land mount speed
* Requires level 60
* Cost: 600 gold (faction discounts now apply)
* Mount Cost: 50 gold
* Can now be learned in Honor Hold (Alliance) or Thrallmar (Horde)

Never say never... But the prospect of giving a refund doesn't look good. Much use has already been gotten out of the mounts currently in play. Enough that it is certainly worth the original price payed for it. So, more than likely no refund.

Q u o t e:

Thanks for making cheetah form even more useless, cheers!

It was all me and I'm not sure that it's useless, but I'm sorry. Totally my fault, mea culpa. I'm sorry you're angry and hope my apology makes you feel better.

Q u o t e:

Crygil, do you know the status of druid flight form? Both when it will be learned and the speed? Will the quest be kept in tact for those who might want to experience it and will the swift trained level be reduced to 70?

Cheetah form is not useless, only really good as a 'run away' while in combat button when your dash is on cooldown anyway ever since mounts at 30 (or if you can't afford the mount at 30.)

I know many a starting player who would be hard pressed to get the gold required for the mounts even now if they don't have alts. What this does is makes it for those of us who scoff at that much gold to level our alts even faster than we already can IMHO.

Not sure on the flight form just yet. I've put in an email to development and they will get back to me. As soon as they do I'll be able to adequately respond to this concern.

Q u o t e:
Post if you spent 1000g on your epic land mount--pre-BC, when 1000g was actually a lot of money.

Not I... I had 900g and was saving it, but then I bought the mats for Arcanite Reaper.
