1000g in vanilla would be something like 100k g in retail.

I will be farming it, but i won’t put that much effort into getting a mount that looks identical but is only slightly faster.

Odds are i won’t have enough before the armored mounts are released anyway.

They're not going to be available either way, epic mounts will be armored mounts from day 1:
I guess to cap off this old thread and keep it up to date...

The original epic mounts won't be in classic.

"It is the current vendor mounts for 1.12. We aren't putting back the unarmored mounts. We just talked about this recently internally. We know some people are interested in them, but we don't want to put them in for a limited period of time, because we didn't want to influence people through their first leveling experience. Especially people coming back for the first time. We don't want people to feel like they have to rush. If you want to level slowly and enjoy the journey, you should. That's how I like to play--taking it slow, running every dungeon."

Sucks, because I like the unarmored ones better. But whatever, it's already decided.

Whops, missed that. Thanks for the info, Pippina.
