its nice that thier lowering the price and lvl of cold weather flying...makes it a lot easier for low lvls to get it...now they just have to lower epic flying as well

So... you rather have no flying mount at all during WotLK expansion? I doubt that. You payed the extra 500 g to do the end-game material with flying mount. Now that Cata comes, Northrend is and will only be a leveling zone. So quit your QQ.
I paid $800 for a Betamax when it came out. Blu-ray players go for $200, I should get a refund! See how entitlement makes you look stupid?
I think this is an excellent idea. Someone who already has a level 80 and is leveling an alt can already buy the Tome and the 500gold saving while nice is not essential. But for new players who don't have a level 80 or lots of gold it will make leveling through Northrend a lot easier.
Another price lowering...First Dual Specialization and now this?Thank god I have enough money not to care (8 characters with epic flying and cold weather flying. 9 characters with Dual Specs. 500*8 = 4000 gold, 9000*9 = 8100 gold, 12100 gold loss due to price decreases).
bah, must the prices be lowered.. 500g back plz :/ ah well..
Refunds would be nice, but it's not a big deal. Although I'm still bitter about them giving the Blue Drake to everyone.
The problem is alts. It's reasonable to ask somebody to essentially stop playing the game and spend a bunch of time grinding out gold if it's a one-time expense, but the more alts you have, the more you get penalized.I'm content to let 310% remain a luxury item, because we're talking about an 8% speed increase, the lack of which is not going to make anybody cry. Epic flying is a 50% speed increase over regular flying, and that's a huge penalty especially when you're still levelling and grinding out professions.Blizzard appears to be aiming for a model where you can get all of the things you need just by doing quests and looting mobs. Riding, epic riding, and basic flying all got tuned to where you can afford them as soon as they become available. Dual spec, professions, and cold weather flying are being fixed the same way in Cataclysm. The only thing left on the list is epic flying.
Epic flying is still a luxury in my book. Maybe if they'd left basic flight at 60%, you could argue lowering the cost of 280%.
