Cold Weather Flying is now purchasable!

So basically I get to pay 950g to use a mount I already payed over 5,000 gold to get... even though I can already use it now! Woot! And the reasoning is that buying it would be easier for players to do than a simple quest chain. -.-

They removed the quest?

Yes, they
did
.
This somewhat annoys me. I haven't been able to save up for my Swift, so I was hoping to use the gold I gathered from leveling to 80 on it, but now I need to spend it towards the Cold Weather Flying.

Yeah, now it's just the 950 gold.
Edit: Graveless beat me to it. XD
I don't mind much that it's 950, nice to know it doesn't cost a ton, so as soon as I hit 77 I can buy it and fly.

It shouldn't be a problem for people who already have their epic skill, but for those that don't, I can feel your pain. 6k gold is pretty #$%^ing rediculous.
Also, I LOVE blizzard's reason for doing this. It was so that players would have better access to CWF. ROFLMAO. A 3 step simple quest vs. 950g? HMM WHICH REQUIRES MORE TIME?
-.-

It feels as thought Blizzard doesn't want us to get anything too easily, but I for one enjoy the questing aspect of this game. I realize that it would be much easier just to pay the 950g you'll no doubt have by the time you're 77 or higher just by questing, selling all the trash and dailies at 80.
However, I just want to do an epic quest, and I'm sure that there are some spenders like me out there who just want to gear up and hit the raids and heroics instead of spending their hard earned gold on basically retraining your 300 riding skill (yeah, I'm one of those people who still doesn't have a epic flyer)
I don't understand why Blizzard just can't put two options in there like they did for the 10-man and 25-man raids.

You don't need to buy it in order to finish leveling in those zones. You can "rent" a mount.
Also, you are still able to do the quest.

You don't need the epic flyer skill to get cold weather flying. So no need for 6k gold. But otherwise I agree with you.

^ what I meant was 6k investiture for the people who do have/want epic skill and CWF. It's a pretty huge money sink. I hit lt. gen. in vanilla wow just to get the war mounts because it allowed me to ride an epic mount without having to buy the riding skill. I hate huge gold sinks because I hate farming.

If they want to put in new gold sinks, they should at least come up with something new instead of making us pay 1,000 gold for something we already payed 5,000 gold to be able to use in the past.

Really lame decision by blizzard on this one.
"Making it purchasable makes it easier for players to get. I understand you have 3 alts to feed and as each of them levels up they will get the gold to purchase it.
We haven't given an exact total number of new daily quests that will be available in the expansion, but there will be more of them to do and along with all the new quests I don't think reaching this number will be an issue"

They're still making us pay an additional 1,000 gold for an item we already payed 5,000 gold for (6,000 if you count the regular flying mount).

Well, at least 1k gold is less than what you earn by questing from level 70 to 77. And compared to the other gold sinks in WotLK, it really is a very minor sum.
But I still would have preferred a quest line. Even if the quest line involved paying some gold - that didnt stop me from doing the tier 0.5 quests for example.

That's a tiny sum of money... I'm not even upset about the fact we have to pay to use what we already payed for, just think they should have put it in a more creative way... Like do a quest, and only then you can purchase the skill... not outright here's the skill...
Also, am I the only one not surprised by it... I was one of those people who always knew we were going to have to pay to use our Flyers in Northrend... as soon as they made the announcement back in like June that we need to be a higher level to even use them. I find it funny how surprised people are by this.

Apparently Blizz thinks it is not clear enough on how to get Cold weather flying,
