Posts with tag epic mounts

What was your greatest challenge when traversing Azeroth?  Of course there are epic monsters to conquer and countless bloody PvP encounters, but character after character I find that the most challenging and time-consuming obstacle in the game involves acquiring a mount.  Even though I consider myself a conservative spender, I've never reached level 40 with anything near the 100 gold needed to buy one, and the following hunt for gold in all its forms usually lasts for several levels of scrimping and saving.  And after all that work, there's nothing quite like running furiously back to town and buying that mount.  There doesn't seem to be a single quest or monster that occupies my time as much as the attempt to acquire that first mount does every time.  Is anyone out there with me on this?
