I just want to know why blizzard dident implement an epic mount for warlocks and pally's this time around. not becasue i want a free mount but because iv always like the dreadsteed over any other epic mounts they look cool, most warlocks would probobly agree that we should still pay the 5k for the riding skill and maybe a little extra for a questline to get a dreadragon, or feldragon..and what ever the pally's call their mounts.

...im not trying to complain just wanna know

Perhaps they brought the price of your 60+ skills down to the same price as everyone else's, thereby eliminating the need to compensate you by giving you a "free" mount.

You should have to do an enormous expensive level 70 quest to obtain the epic item:

Because. That's why.

Of course you could get an answer from one of the lore guys so you can get the "There's no flying beast among the demonic plains that even the most powerful of Warlocks would be able to control." But it's just lip service. My answer is the correct one and the only one that is completely honest.

No need to be rude. He was just asking for a reason, not necessarily for it to be implemented.

If you weren't trying to be rude and I simply misinterpreted your post, my apologies. :)

ignorance is no excuse. the level 40 mount was the free mount. the level 60 mounts have long and involved quests, along which, it is possible to get a "fast mount" as a drop from bosses in the same instances. (the baron for instance)

all told, my pally epic cost well over 800g. While my hunters epic was "free" (well cheap) since I got it via faction in PvP.

even now, the level 60 training costs 540g with decent faction, and the mount 90 more, total 630g. the quest without taking into consideration items, has at least 400g of actual gold that needs to be turned in with quests. so if you are shrewed you might save a bit of cash.

that said, the warlock/pally mounts cost mana to cast too, and are spells, both of which have disadvantages to them.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, there is.

I put "free" in quotation marks for this exact reason. I know what's involved in your epic mount quest, and what a pain in the rear end it is.

Eh, because we didn't want to. The Warlock and Paladin have their ground mounts, which are definitely still just as viable in Outland as they were in Azeroth for ground travel. Really we wanted to implement a flight form for the Druids which we had intended for the original game but could just never get to work quite right, and this expansion happened to fit 'like a glove' so to speak. There's obviously a perception that is still carrying over somewhat that "these classes will always have mounts", which really isn't the case. When it falls into place, feels right, and we think it would be something cool for a class we may give them a class mount. I think Ric Ocasek probably said it best; "Shake it up".

You would probably look pretty cool on the Fiery Warhorse from Karazhan. It doesn't fly, but I think it drinks the blood of other horses.

Because they haven't announced anything for you guys yet.

That's why.

You never know what lies in store for the classes.
