Doesn't TECHNICALLY say it's a hippogryph, though. So maybe there's hope it'll be something interesting.
Honestly, 2k gold to see something I see every time I take a Night Elf controlled FP? Meh to that.

Yeah, would be kinda useless. I hope they'll put something really original, like... a flying koopa trooper ! That would be awesome... :D

If it is a hippogryph, I'm sure they'll make it look slightly different than the plain old ones we ride around Azeroth. Perhaps with some night elven decor similar to the neat little gems and feathers on the epic druid flight form. I'm sure it is going to look nice considering the amount of money that we'll have to spend to get it. Just wait until you see it IMHO.

Really unimpressed about the projected cost. The whole point of them changing riding around pre-TBC, where they made riding expensive and mounts cheap, was to encourage people to buy multiple mounts for the sake of 'flavour'/style. Making this expensive defeats the point. Getting Exalted with CE is the hard part; the mount should be the same as any other epic mount, ie 200g.

I highly doubt many horde are going to want to be seen riding around on a hippogryph, as it is "night elfish".

mmm 7k gold, pass
Yes and Swift Purple Gryphon / Windrider etc is 5,200g if you count the training costs, so what exactly are you pointing out?
It's 2,000g because they wanted to make it harder to get. IMHO the Netherdrake questlines were over 2000g worth of effort to complete. In fact I probably made more than that much while doing them all. And it's not like Netherdrakes are uncommon or anything. In fact I see more Netherdrakes than gryphons these days. Even after all the time you put into the questlines, which I'm sure is less time than it takes to farm 2,000 gold. (Especially if you do daily quests, etc.) It will still be easier than getting a Netherdrake, but harder than getting a Nether ray.

Well, if not a hypogryph, then what? Griffins and so on are human, drakes have been done, flying serpents sounds very Horde to me, pegasi are just not a good fit with elves...
My money's on a juiced-up Cenarion Storm Crow (

) with some metallic harness.

Wow Model Viewer has them as ridable mounts with a few different variations of skin colors. Some of them are actually pretty good looking.
And I would get one if I still played Horde.

That's not a really valid comparison. You seem to have forgotten that to buy one of these things you've got to grind Cenarion Expedition to Exalted first. How is that different from the Netherdrake and nether ray requirements? In fact, I found the Netherwing and Sha'tari Skyguard grinds to be very trivial. I was going to do the daily quests anyway for the gold rewards, so the reputation was a bonus. CE wasn't too difficult, either, but it definitely required more work than those two.
I'll be buying one, though. I don't really have anything else to spend gold on, so 200 vs. 2k doesn't make much difference.
