Is it true the journeyman riding skill will be reduced to around 54-590 gold when TBC is released? If you can provide a link to where you got your info also I'd appreciate it.

Currently on live, riding skill 150 costs 900gold (810gold with rep discount).

Currently in beta testing, riding skill 150 costs 600gold (540 gold with rep discount).

By man shall his blood be shed
For immunity of God make he the man
Destroy all that which is evil
So that which is good may flourish
And I shall count thee among my favored sheep
And you shall have the protection of all the angels in Heaven."

It has been reduced to 600 on Live now after the update on Wednesday. Still way out of reach of the average casual player though :(

It must be Thursday, i never could get the hang of Thursdays.

You can get a mount now from BG's, i think its 40xWS, 40xAV and 40xAB no cash just some time investment in PvP, if you dont like PvP then I guess you have to farm $$$, but theres 2 options now.

Ofc still need to pay 500g for the skill, but at least the mount if FREE.

Herbalism + Fishing + Skinning + Cloth drops = mount

I don't see how anyone can complain about a 200g drop in the mount price.  I have 350g currently on my second character.  I have leveled both Tailoring and Enchanting on my 2nd 60 and it only cost me around 30g.  Money is not a hard thing to gain.  Once you hit 60 everything you come across can net you cash somehow.
