    But they treat Alliance like crap.

    A 1 person mount with no special characteristics, and the Horde get theirs free but Alliance pay 100k? No. Max should've been like 5k, considering a decent chunk of Alliance also voted for the Horde bike, because it was infinitely better made.
    Horde gets their free for a limited time because alliance players voted for the horde mount to be free.

    After that it will be sold for 100k just like the alliance bike.

    1) The contest was stupid. The votes were tracked by cookies, not BNet account, meaning you could clear your browser and vote as many times as you wanted. All it proved is that the Horde is more dedicated than the Alliance when it comes to clicking.

    2) They never said that the winner would be the ONLY bike in the game. They said it would be the FREE bike. They were always very careful to state that the winner of the contest would be FREE to players, not that it would be the only bike available at all. They began art assets for both bikes before they were even fully built - you don't waste time on art assets you don't intend to use.

    3) 100k is a bit too steep. Like so many other PHes in beta, I'll wager that that is not the final price, if only because 100k for the mount would serve to help create a gold imbalance between the Horde and the Alliance. *shrug*

    Personally, I think it looks better (not much, but enough to count) than the Horde bike. At least the Alliance bike is reasonably sleek; the Horde bike is just, HURGH. METAL AND TUSKS.

    It'll come with WoD. It's said on the result page. Here.

    If I spent 100k gold on a mount, I'd spend it on a mount that's actually worth gold. Too rich for my blood anyway.

    Honestly don't care much for either the Horde or Alliance bike, although I do think the Horde one looks a bit cooler.

    If it stands it does sound about right, it should cost a ton of gold to buy. I won't bother, it really ugly anyway. Personally don't like either of them, but at least I get the Horde one in the mail free just for logging into the game. I would have not bought it either had the Alliance won.

    well i certainly would not pay 100k for that, lucky i am horde mostly!

    i think 20-30k would be a more reasonable price, but what ever, they lost the vote and gotta pay the price!

    You peasants would be whinging it was added to the cash shop if they added it there so I don't see the big deal. 100k is not a lot of money and even a casual player can surely make that over a month or something if they really want it. I don't really like it honestly. I voted for the Horde chopper because it looked cooler and I'm Alliance.

    I agree and (I don't have beta access) but the rate in which you can make gold is probably faster in WOD. It usually is each expansion.

    hope you are trolling otherwise seek therapy...on topic that does seem odd but it was datamined and if beta went live in anywhere near its current state it would be pretty sad so theres time for change ...or maybe i am just too hopeful about that overall

    the horde bike is limited time right? is the alliance bike also limited time :S

    First off, I love the bike. I voted for it, but mainly because it matches my Overlord set. Also, I can afford it.

    But, ok, let's get reasonable for a second to everyone who was for some reason expecting 20-30k for this expansion's gold sink. If they added it as an in-store mount it would have been sold for about $30. The exchange rate if you went to one of those shady sites is about 2000g/$1. And selling to one of those sites is 3000g/$1. So a mount that costs $30 exchanges for between 60,000 and 90,000 in game gold. 100,000k is realistic, and prices are going to inflate some come WoD.

    It'll be fine. If you want it, save up. If you don't, well, eat my shiny bug metal dust, fools! Bwahaha!

    How is 100k too much? At this point if you are having a hard time coming up with gold then there is nothing anyone can do to help you.

  14. #34
    100k is to much for a mount that has no features other than being a ground mount or that doesn't drop from a raid.

    WoW gold has value for you? Interesting.

    i wonder if he price will be reduced by faction rep

    Here we go again. "Blizzard hates alliance, horde bike won" Bike is added anyway? "Blizzard hates alliance, now we have to pay for our bike"

    I'll be waiting for the complains when Blizz lowers the price. " Price was modified but it's still not free like the horde. Blizzard hates alliance.

    Could hardly say alliance when lost the vote when they were the clear minority in this contest.

    I`m glad that blizzard actually will make both choppers available, though 100k gold is a little too much in my opinion. I`ll probably get it later though.
    Fixed for accuracy.
