I don't play WoW, but my roommate plays religiously. I asked him if he was going to buy a lvl 60 mount a long time ago and he said probably not, too much gold.
Then recently I asked again and he said he had saved up nearly 700 gold already for it. Occassionally I ask how much gold is worth in $USD$ and so after hearing that I did once again. After looking it up quickly on one of those sites, apparently 200 gold is $34.
So for 900-1000 gold, you're looking at $153-170. After we did that math, he's not so sure anymore. That's enough money for a brand new Xbox or at least 10 more months of WoW.
Is anyone here going to forsake all that $$$ and actually get their level 60 mount?
I could see doing it maybe when the price was like 100 gold = $5 or something, but not at these ridiculous prices.
