and server locks so RMT cant make new acc’s.
Unless you get some miracle RNG drops while levelling, you won’t ever in any way or form get 90+ gold while levelling those 15 levels. Unless, of course, you start farming stuff while levelling, and thus that “levelling” is not just levelling, but actually a combination of both, in which case simply calling it “levelling” is deviating from what it actually means.
Levelling in its pure concept means you’re doing stuff purely for the sake of getting xp, while everything else comes as secondary (including gold and gear). One fine example is Stockade, a dungeon that hardly anyone would ever do for anything other than xp, since it has no drops apart from a rare mob (if I’m not mistaken there’s only 1 rare mob for blue’s there). If mobs in Stockade gave no experience and there were no quests for the dungeon, I doubt you would get more than 2% of the amount of people that do it, actually do it.
It’s true that you can do Mining, etc, while you’re in a zone doing quests, but if you’re only mining as you level up and not actually farming (where your focus is not to get xp, but rather mining materials) then, like I said, you need some miracle drops from mobs or something to get those 90+g in the 15 level time frame. It just isn’t a thing. Most of the gold that you earn will be spent learning spells, as they progressively get more expensive to learn, and the rest won’t be nowhere near enough to make those 90g to purchase the mount.
And this isn’t to say that people won’t have the gold by then. In fact, I am fairly convinced the majority will, if they don’t have it already. But that is mostly due to the fact that most people spent over 2 months “stuck” at level 25 earning level 60 gold from level 25 quests. However, in regular Classic people would generally not spend gold on stuff like consumable, enchants, etc, at level 25 or at level 40, so that should be taken into consideration as well.
so the TLDR is: No, it won’t be the end of the world. But it WILL make RMT increase. 100% guaranteed.
Perhaps you’re right, it’s just my own experience to it. Focusing mainly on questing and doing dungeons, making sure to sell my greens on AH etc.
I’d say it wouldn’t be far fetched to afford your mount when you reach 40, but that could just be confirmation bias.
Wonder how much gold will be available through lvl 40 quests
If I’m not mistaken I think it will be roughly the same per quest, since the final cap is still 60, and level 25 cap already gave level 60 gold from quests. Maybe they’ll change it though, idk, but if they are to change it, at this point I’m not sure they won’t actually lower the amount gained rather than increase it xD Come up with some lame excuse to, again, try and make us believe that they’re doing it to fight RMT (while in reality, there doesn’t seem to be much reason to believe they actually are, imo)
its not a problem for active players with +4h/day of play - but for the majority of casual 3h/week players, it IS a problem.
Yeah sure it will be harder for them, but c’mon bruh even with 3h per week you can farm it pretty fast at level cap. Tbh I don’t think everything should just be handed on a silver platter, and the mount is a pretty good example of that.
they have 2 options, at that point - run all over for a week or 3 to do other quests, or start doing the fun stuff
What do you mean by “the fun stuff” anyways? What is fun to you might not be fun for me and vice versa. Also if you don’t enjoy questing/leveling, there are probably better games out there since it is a huge part of WoW.

It most likely will, but it’s only a one-time gold sink as opposed to GDKPs for example.
While I agree that some parts of the game are too grindy (for example WSG exalted), grinding 80-90g at level 40 is nothing. Like I said, I don’t think everything should be handed for free. I think it only makes the game worse if it caters to much to people who aren’t even willing to put in a little bit of effort.
Oh jesus…
I think almost everyone have enough gold for the mount already.
u will, if u dungeoungrind for a few hours and hit 40 and go back to quest it. thats what us more elaborate players will do. no sense wasting that gold as xp.
but true for most players, indeed.
Classic does not provide such a tool for farming gold as Daily Quests. This is where part of the problems with gold come from. Not all classes, like mages, can farm thousands of gold by soloing dungeons.
Yes, but that will be true even if you quest your way to 40, since the amount of quests available exceeds the ones necessary to reach level 40.
The point in question is whether you will have the gold needed as soon as you hit 40, or whether you’ll have to farm after you reach 40 (which would be equivalent to buying the mount at a level higher than 40, in regular Classic).
And like I said before, most people will indeed have that gold by 40, or shortly after, yes.
EDIT: also, the section of my post that you quoted specifically said “get 90+ gold WHILE levelling those 15 levels” x)
not the dadgamer that doesnt even have full pre-bis, which is ALOT of ppl in sod. or those that do, and bought it all the way already.
i need glasses…jfc, i read 40… lol.
You are a Hunter - one of the easiest classes for farming gold. 100g is what a mount cost on classic Era - and that is even before rep discounts, so just start farming that gold.
You can save some of the quests for level 40 and then farm gold from them. Stop crying
Man, what is it with people reading half of a sentence and jumping to post some completely unnecessary reply?
- I was not talking about myself. If you read my posts you’ll see I said at a point that I actually consider myself a decent farmer.
- The part that you quoted comes in response to another post, which I ALSO QUOTED on that same post.
- The whole point of that discussion was to emphasize the fact that having high costs for the mount will make SOME PEOPLE (and let me clarify in case you don’t read this whole post either: I do not include myself in this “some people” group) will feel more inclined to RMT (which is something none of us wants, myself included).
- Yes, everyone knows that this increase takes the amount back to what it was in OG Classic. I won’t repeat what comes after this though, I have to ask you to read what’s been said before, since it’s a lot of stuff.
People throwing the “Meh Muh, I dont have the time” ball into the court are honestly pathetic.
If you simply can not, under no circumstances, muster up the required time, maybe the game is not for you.
I would imagine that getting 100 Gold in SOD is significantly easier than in the regular and good version of classic, seeing lvl 40 is the new lvl cap and quest will therefore reward more gold.
thank you for your opinion. im sure 2 million players will now change their lives accordingly.
or the game has to adapt to conditions and reduce RMT while making it viable fro casuals.
You people seem to think that you need to play the game 24/7 in order to be able to make 100 gold prior to lvl 40.
It´s all a skill issue. But, for all intents and purposes, please keep crying on the forums.

i love it, man.
finally a pro player says it! i hope everyone who doesnt have time to play more than 3h/week reads this and knows how pro u are!
WTF you guys moaning about, it was alwayssssss that price in classic. So they lowered it at one point in a SEASON, namely SoM. So now they always have to lower it ?!
You don’t want ppl to say go retail that way > but yeah you asking for it.
Boohooo QQ play it as it is or go watch TV stop acting like you’re in charge of content.
Also with all the quest turn ins for gold at lvl cap… wtf you moaning.
You know, i didn’t see anyone complaining about the massive gold increase from questing at max level.
not classic, this is SoD. it was always 36g in SoD - until 22 h ago.
