Well you don't need to do dailys to get gold selling greys by them selves is a very easy way to get gold.

As a hunter, I make a nice chunk of change leveling pets in Icecrown. Not only do those packs of champion guys (help me out here, I can't remember what they're called but they're for one of the Argent Tournament quests) give quite a bit of money themselves, they also drop frostweave cloth out the butt, not to mention tons of greens and even blues here and there. Just getting one pet from 75-80 often nets me at LEAST 100g, if not more, and it generally takes about an hour (if I'm slow). That's not including dailies.

There are plenty of ways to make money in this game. You can gather, you can do dailies, you can farm those "champion guys"..... Sure, it might take a little longer if you don't do dailies, but it's not like there is only one option. It all depends on how dedicated you choose to be. You can't blame Blizzard if you get bored or frustrated with dailies (I admit I'm bored of them too, but that's my problem). If you really put your nose to the grindstone, you can get loads of gold pretty quickly. It's just a matter of how much time and effort you choose to put into it. It's in no way unfair to any casual player. Getting gold does not require that you be in a hardcore raiding guild (in fact, raiding often causes a loss of gold, lol), or that you have the best gear. It's available to everyone. YOU have to decide, "Hey, I really want that mount, I'm going to do dailies for a couple weeks," and that's it. Just get out there and do it! If it takes a little longer, that's fine. But I don't think making mount speeds cost a couple hundred gold is reasonable, considering how easy it is to make money. It should be something you have to work towards, not just handed to you. And if an individual doesn't want to put the time required into obtaining said goal, then that's that individual's problem, not the game's, and not anyone else's.

So in conclusion, I feel that 5000g is a fair price for this new flight speed. I imagine that the 280% will come down in price to balance it out though. Maybe something between 1,000 and 3,000?

Edit: Saving up for my chopper is going to cost 12,500g at LEAST. It's going to take a looong time to save up for that. But you know what? That's fine. I know what I have to do, I just have to make myself do it. Not like I have to rely on a guild to get money, I can do it myself, so I have no reason to complain. Do I think it's a bit ridiculous that it costs that much? Yeah, a little .....but to be honest, I'm fine with it. It's not an impossible goal, just a time-consuming one. But if I want it bad enough, I know that I have the motivation to do what needs to be done.

The problem lies in the fact there are daily quests. But dailies get tedius and boring for me and take a fair amount of time to acomplish on one toon, let alone the 5 80's I have.

In theory 20 dailies a day nets 200 gold. Times 10 days = 2000k gold.

The problem is the quests get repetative, boring or are to frustrating and or out of the way or worse can't easily be soloed by yourself.

20 dailies a day net you more than 200g. You get around 13g per daily in Northrend, and on top of that you get vendor greys, greens you can DE, auction, or vendor. My husband and I make roughly 200g from just the Argent Tourney dailies - that's what, 8 (we don't do the jousting for seals one)? Of course that's counting the 3 purses, but still. We knock those out in 1/2 hour.

Its not big. I've gotten epic flying and cold weather on 5 characters already... Gosh I just realized I play this game too much.

Darn


~ Anyway I don't spend gold on BOE's or crafted gear, since I know it will get replaced soon enough as it is. Frost Badges used to net me a lot of profit since I would always turn them into Primordial Saronites and sell those, they used to be 2200g or so but now on my server are around 700.

Before I would do Argent Tourney dailies, then use the seals to buy the Non-Combat pets to sell on the neutral AH. Those used to be 1800-2000 when they first came out on the Neutral.
