    you have to spend 1000g at 78 to fly in northrend. so you can get by with that.

    but there's tons of shiny vendor stuff that takes tons of gold. mounts mostly.
    and of course you'll want money for crafted things/gems/enchants.

    everything is inflated to take into account how much gold is floating around.

    Dude, Zul'Drak has a quest where you ride a storm giant and step on everything in sight

    Zul'Drak is an amazing zone - I skipped Grizzly Hills because it was pissing me off.

    I dinged 77 right at the end of the ZD quest chain - it's not too bad at all without a flying mount. Especially with how the quest hubs work there.

    I do agree that the story is extremely depressing, though. I mean, holy shit.

    Hey cool, those are like my rolls on everything. Hence why when I'm not doing guild runs, I only get loot if every other player in the entire raid has already gotten something.

    I kept hearing from guildmates that borean and grizzly hills would suck. But I really loved the two zones. I think other people just don't have that love of story that I do. If I skipped zones or quests in northrend I'd feel I was skipping chapters in a book.

    After the first time around, I think it's acceptable to blow through content and just get the levels efficiently. To continue my book analogy, I get pretty bored re-reading a book I've recently read.

    I'm on the medium to high pop Stormscale server. We had short, read under 5 minutes, queues during Christmas break, but before then I never saw a queue since I transferred here a week before WotLK. I've also never seen the instance lag that people keep mentioning in the raiding thread and I raid on Tuesdays which seems to be the day everyone bitches about.

    THe only thing I dislike about phasing is Icecrown I found a nice place to farm for cloth I know it's phased when I complete a series of quests so until I am 450 in tailoring I refuse to do them

    This is one of the main design issues with phasing.

    I mean, imagine it was implemented all across the game.

    So, you beat up all the Defias, run Deadmines and BAM, Defias are defeated. You leave the instance, and now Westfall is phased and all the Defias are gone and everyones happy nd slaving away on farms again. Great right?

    Till you need Linen Cloth. Oh look, all those Defias you were gonna farm for it? Gone.

    It's kind of an interesting quandry.
    Suddenly Linen and Wool is almost as in demand on the AH as Runecloth.

    This is not true.

    But it should be true.

    If you click the mount rapidly as it's being cast, and this goes for Mechanochoppers too, the Vehicle icon will turn green for a split second and you can hop on, party or not. It's a bug yes, and it takes perfect timing, but it works.

    I've tested this with both the Mount and the Choppers.

    Increasing mount speed wasn't the issue. I think it was giving up a trinket slot specifically to do so, because it wasn't "fun," it was just a hassle. During the beta they had looked at making riding crops a way to enchant your mount, so to speak, but their system that encourages multiple mounts made that a pain in the ass so they scrapped it.
