Rumors have been going around in World of Warcraft regarding a drop in the price of epic mounts to 3,000 gold on the PTR. Unfortunately, this isn't the case, as mounts still cost 5,000 gold each.

Still, there is hope for those who hate the grind as a price drop may be coming in the next expansion. Before you dismiss this rumor, it has been given quite some weight by none other than Blizzard Poster Drysc:

Depending on how mount riding skills are going to progress, the most likely point for a price drop would be with the release of the next expansion, just as the ground mount prices dropped when Burning Crusade was released. Again it would likely depend on a few factors, and may actually not change. But that's a question for a later time.
