The reason they won't put in anything faster than 310% mounts is because we'll get too close to hitting loading time hard limits, and start flying faster than terrain and textures can load.
does anyone else find this rediculous? its 5k for a 30% increase in speed! Really Blizzard, cant you give us a break? The best way to do this would be to upgrade all 280% mounts instead.

5k gold? I'm reconsidering engineering if you all say 5k is nothing.....
Considering I'm reluctant to pay the 4k gold for 280% flying for my 71 Alt (never mind all the other alts I have), then I am none too pleased at the continuing costs for flying.I appreciate some people feel that gold is easy to come by in WotLK but for the casual player who doesn't have hours to commit between raiding, farming and leveling alts, coughing up potentially 4k for 280% and a further 5k for 310% becomes restrictive and forces the game to become about farming for gold rather than enjoyment. Never mind x 10 alts that you may need to do that on :(I don't think 310% should be given away - I have a 310% mount which took ages to get and that was a great level of personal satisfaction for me when I did get it - I think 310% should be gifted to those that have it and continue to be tied to certain achievements - do you think people would grind through the Event achievements (that can take 2+ years), if they could grind gold in a month or two and buy it?Or, perhaps an alternative - gift it for those that get a 310% mount through existing channels and make it carry across to all 280% mounts (such is with the Celestial Stead and Druid Flight Form) and make it say 25k-30k for those that are impatient and can't be bothered with acheivements - at least there is an option available to players. Farm gold or farm achievements.My more immediate concern though is the 280% cost - I think perhaps 3k and 2.5k with rep may be a little easier to swallow :\2c*edited as after reflection, I think if I'm going to spend 2 years on the brewfest et al achievements then someone who can't be bothered to do that can pay through the nose for lack of patience... :)
Worst change so far, legendary mounts not so legendary any more, and nice way to stop gold selling blizzard, 5000g wasn't enough for artisan? I'm not about to grind dailies for the next few months. So I'm off to buy some gold.
Heh another 5k for 310%? I can pass on this. 280% is really enough for me and its just a 30% difference anyway. As long as no payment required to fly in EK and Kalimdor it's hell of a good news enough for me.and oh forgot to tell this whatever or even if everyone has 310% speed mount speeds you guys got there as long as those pallies have "Crusader Aura" they'll still go faster than you. Not a hater just simply trying to say "Paladins FTW!"and forgot if they use Aura Mastery+Crusader Aura = GG. Ferari of WoW
hmmmmmm, 5k gold to get my epic flying mount to from 280% to 310%.......30% for 5k gold? not worth it.going from 150% to 280% for 5k gold is worth it, but increasing by only a mere 30% for 5k gold is NOT worth it and so i will NOT be getting the training....AT ALL until they make it a more realistic price.
Time to farm ulduar 10?
so if we already have flying in northrend we can fly in azeroth right or do we have to spend the gold to fly in azeroth like we did for northrend i would like to know so i can decide if it is worth trying to get a 310 mount before the expansion
woot my old flyers are now practicle agin i love my protodrake and rocket but i missed my nether drake/rays and wyverns
