World of Warcraft: will you spend 5000 gold for Artisan and Expert mounts?

Perhaps it’s just a case of preference, but if you’re one of those players who don’t spend their precious time trying to earn some silver, then perhaps the 5,000 gold price tag for training an elite mount probably isn’t worth the ride. But for many budding entrepreneurs, it’s a deal too good to miss!

Epic and Artisan mounts do require hefty investments and not only in training the pet, but also for the player to be able to ride the mount. But since all of the elite mounts require players to be at the Level 70 cap, grabbing one should be an easy buy. After all, there’s nothing much else to do at 70 than to drop by at the Arena, participate in some battleground combat, or join up with a good guild and raid yourself to boredom.

Okay, so maybe elite mounts aren’t much useful anymore when you don’t need to skirt around places in speeds that could shame that Level 60 epic mount. Perhaps Blizzard has something else in mind for the mounts, but apparently, it’s just a good-and-bad kinda thing, depending on your taste. After all, not everyone wants to look cool, all decked out with purple slashers and chassis.

But for those who think purple “bling-age” matters, a sweet Netherdrake, a gallant Gryphon or the near impossible-to-grab Black Qiraji Battle Tank (we know, it’s just legendary but it sooooo rocks!) is just the thing you might want to bring home to your mommy. Because anything green or blue just won’t cut it, plus the fact that you can outrun practically just about anyone is just the natural trade-off for being cool.

With only limited Artisan and Expert mounts and the “no fly zone” sanctioned over the skies of Azeroth, everyone would be looking pretty much alike. Unless Blizzard can provide their own version of “Pimp My Ride,” these cool mounts might eventually just end up the usual norm. Hear that, Blizzard? Yep, it’s time to cough up some new mounts.
