That was always the price in classic.
Both in 2005 and 2019.

Look, guy, Iâve got two wives, a mistress and seven kids to take care of. How the heck am I supposed to find the time to grind gold for an hour?
Wtf are you talking about ? Chill out you cry baby, 100g was the original price back then in the first place and now we have even more things to make gold âŚ
A lot of people will simply trade wrath or retail gold for SoD Gold and Blizzard even said itâs not against ToS.
So better start swiping in retail and wrath if you canât be bothered to farm.
Knowing the classic player base, most of the players will be doing that.
Dont have to overreact. Its not that much gold mate. Its a lot easier to farm gold, cos characters are lot more powerful.
If its would be thousands as you say, thats would be different .
After level 25 gold will flow in a lot more.
I personally enjoy making gold, thats one of the main reasons why I like wow. Im playing WoW for 10+ years and never bought gold, tokens or anything from cash shop.
Haha exactly 
I think you need to calm down youâve written about 10 posts, maybe you need to level and not focus on gold youâre level 15⌠Catch up
You have just the one char then? Some of us have alts we like to play, guess they will be mountless for quite some time.
I remember how long it took me first time around to get my mount, I was much higher than L40 before I got my first.
Then you clearly have no idea how to farm gold, unlike these rich people over here posting.
I have an idea how most of them do it, though, itâs actually quite an incredible farming method. You first take your wallet out of your pocket, then check the numbers on the card you use to shop for stuff irl, type those numbers on the website, and soon enough youâll have enough gold for all those mounts!
Never tried this method of farming gold myself, but from what Iâve heard, itâs super efficient!
PS: I started playing retail back in OG TBC as a paladin, which ended up making me not have these sorts of issue straight away, but a friend of mine who was playing with me had the exact same situation, he was almost level 50, I believe, when he got his mount, and he farmed for a bit to get the gold he needed, meaning he both levelled slower and, as I said, did not get it at level 40 straight away.
The 50g was only a preliminary reduction since 100g at 40 was a lot of gold during classic. They reduced it to help it become more accessible when reaching 40 but probably saw that with the 25 lock and then extra gold from questing 100g is now not an issue for most casuals, meanwhile keeping the process of buying a mount somewhat of an achievement. Iâm not a farmer by any means and have mostly sold BoE items and some quests and i have 80g.
I made over 300 gold just by farming mats and putting it in the ah ⌠(and only with this character whoâs blacksmith/mining)
Just know where to farm and youâll earn gold just as easy as that âŚ
Did it also take you 1 hour to do it, like the other guy? xD
In 1h if I was really into farming I was around 20g (could be more if a boe dropped)
Itâs not because you find it impossible to farm that it is the same for everyoneâŚ
Just choose a farming route
Farming is not exactly my idea of enjoyment. Itâs a bit like having to do wash the dishes over and over again or painting lines on roads.
Slackers are complaining again because they wonât get everything handed on a silver platter. People are the worst part of MMO, for sure.
Some people have lives, you must have nothing else to do.
Then both you and me suck at farming, the other guy apparently can farm over 100g in just about an hour!
PS: I canât complain much myself, Iâve been farming for a few days now and Iâd say my average gold/hour may actually be higher than those 20g, although not much higher, itâs kind of dependent on RNG drops, a few days ago I did around 30ish gold/hour, whereas yesterday, for example, the amount was below 20g/hour, so yeahâŚ
I have one char and I think it is enough. I am not a farmer at all (literally), and I have enough gold even now, simply by playing the game. And I even donât have much time to play. And there are 15 more levels ahead of us, to get more. You picked up the route to play multiple characters, and now you are complaining that you have too much to do and want to set a bar for everyone so low that you wonât be bothered by anything on your multiple characters. What about no?
Why is your first thought something that is against the ToS ?
You are never supposed to count that as a valid option⌠because⌠itâs against the rules and not something any one should do or is expected to do.
Back in 2006 i grinded rock elementals in badlands for my mount gold.
You say this while having no clue how much gold youâll generate between 25-40 and beyond tho. Wait and see.
The move to increase prices but most likely also how much gold you earn, I suspect is an attempt to make the illicit gold obtained in P1 less valuable.
