Patch day today and the main thing everyone is talking about is that mounts are being brought down to level 20, epic mounts to 40 and flying mounts to only 60. Question is, are you happy with this change?

Yes. Very much so.

Not having to run through duskwood on foot anymore=awesome.
Not having to run through Ashenvale on foot anymore=awesome.
Being able to fly through Hellfire with a faster mount than it was before (60% turned into 150%)=awesome.

There is no downside to this change.

Since I don't play any mroe what I think doesn't really matter. But it's good as we are long past the days of mounts as status symbols, except the rarest ones of course.

Damn, the first months of vanilla World of Warcraft were good.

I got my Epic flight this time last week. I lost 750 gold thanks to this change. Luckily, with a level 80 character I can get this back within a week, and it's not like I can't buy more crap with it anyway.

Nobody really "plays" the old content anymore. It's just to help the grindfest to get to 80 faster.

I hated running through Duskwood. Hated it so much that I cried blood.

Oh yes there is.

Allow me to demonstrate:
*ahem*

"BACK IN MY DAY, WE DIDN'T GET OUT MOUNTS UNTIL LEVEL 40! AND WE LIKED 'EM JUST FINE! PAID OUT THE ASS FOR 'EM TOO! THESE YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO WORK FOR NOTHIN'! THEY'RE A'RIDIN' ON THE COAT-TAILS OF THEIR BETTERS, S'WHAT THEY'RE DOIN'!"

Point: Demonstrated.
If it means more people make it to top level to enjoy raiding content/top level PvP? I'm fine with that.

I'm not douche enough to wish boredom on another person I've never met simply because I can or some crazy "LOL I HAD IT HARDER!" wish.

You know who else had it harder than us?

Cavemen. They had to hunt all their own food, live in caves with shitty fires wearing naught but the furs they skinned from animals. Guess we'd all better go back to living in caves because we "Don't know what it means to work

/You might have been facetious (I'm not entirely sure), but I've seen your argument used seriously

Im all for it, with my main char being lvl 24 Im very much in the market for the new riding rules, the new lower price for training is just an added bonus.

WELLLLLLLL, back in my day or raiding... thats when Molten Core and Black Wing Lair were considered HARDCORE!!! everything you had to do to experience that was earned!!! thats why i quit WoW, as gettin attuned for dungeons came free, i felt ripped off for all that hardwork i did and thought "F*ck it, im a get a social life, and 40 man that for a bit" still workin for my Tier 2 set in RL though :(

Good, makes the game more fun, it's boring to have to wait all the way to lvl 40 just to get by faster.

Gah! No! i hate the idea, seriously its just the thought of any Noob not knowing anything about whats going on can get to 60-70ish these days in about a week or 2 with these constant nerfs. After all the hard work the more experianced players put in it. seriously the hero class idea was awesome brilliant idea but now, what was really the point in putting all of those hours in? i should of just waited and done it now and it wouldent of taken me about a year to figure everything out -.-

Don't even get me started on the atrocious raid instance that is Molten Bore or Vanilla WoW balance (Do you have a heal button? You're a healer. Are you a warrior? You're a tank. Everyone else is DPS. No exceptions.)

With Blessing of Kings as a 31 point Retridin talent. Lacerate (77 damage over 21 seconds. 11/tick) was the 31 point Hunter Survival Talent.

When all Paladin blessings were individual only, lasted five minutes and had to be cast on forty separate people. When druids were brought along to Innervate priests and battle res the stupid DPS and maybe toss out the occasional heal. When only Dwarf priests had Fear Ward and thus were so much more valuable than any of the other five priest races which caused endless whines on the forums about how Alliance tanks had it easier because they didn't have to stance dance on Onyxia/Nefarian/Magmadar/any other fear bosses.

When you would spend months gearing up your MT and then he'd decide to jump guild and because you'd been showering your precious MT with epics you'd have to start farming MC again to get him the gear.

When only Cenarion and Felheart would drop.

When one of the morons who was AFK (because in any one Molten Snore raid, about 15 of the 40 were AFK at any point) manages to blow up your entire raid on Geddon.

Oh yes, I remember Molten Core. I just wish I didn't.
