I'm tempted to give money to get it for my warrior, but the problem is... my warrior plays with my priest and obviously my priest can't keep up with an epic flying mount on a normal flying mount. My accounts have around 8000g combined.
Gold's not horribly hard to get, but you get it trickling in. The secret to getting gold is not to spend it! I see so many people complaining that they have no gold and I look at what they do. They lend out tons of money... nice that you help others get your flying mount, but average payback period is insanely long... just kiss that money goodbye! They buy worthless blue gear... sorry, but 100g is a waste of money on some blue that you'll probably just end up replacing anyway... especially if you're not even 70 yet!! Do not be one of those people that buys level 60 blues when you can just run the lower level TBC instances for gear.
Another secret is... don't be nice! People will dick you over in WoW like it's their business and don't think it will "give you street cred" when you're nice to someone, because more than not, it won't. People will love to not tip you for wasting a bunch of your time, won't pay for conjured items, etc. Like the other day, I waited 15-20 minutes for this guy to bring me mats for the Greater Arcane Protection Potion. He only brought enough for 19 of them so I gave him one that I had in the bank. The son of a bitch didn't even tip me when I gave him a potion! He made me wait that damn long and for what... "thx!" That son of a motherless orc, I was pissed!
There's also a situation when I was out farming motes of mana and a rogue asks me for food. See, there's a natural issue with doing this. I wanted one primal mana so I could make a primal might and /pray that I would get a fucking transmute proc ( which I didn't, so fuck you Blizzard... 12 transmutes and ONLY one 2x proc? ) and helping this rogue out by giving them food is only allowing them to farm more, which in turn hurts me! Not only that, but I'm assisting the rogue in making more gold per hour, which means they should share the wealth a bit. But nope, no fucking tip. Stingy sons of bitches.
