But I guess anyone that values time just doesn't really understand much about enjoying life huh...
Look, you're missing the point. Insofar as going, "I can spend 10 hours in game achieving X, or spend 1 hour of RL salary for it; I think the latter is better" is fine on a conceptual level. The actual process of purchasing the gold is not the part that bothers me, it's the indirect use and results of it. Epic mounts are something you're supposed to work for, not a right you have for reaching 60. You are SUPPOSED to use your 60% mount for weeks and weeks, even months upon reaching 60. Only the upper crust were supposed to get epic mounts. The fact you want the mount isn't sufficient reason. You should be forced to earn it.

Of course I go 10+ over the limit. There's no rule of live that travelling is supposed to be slow and that accellerating the process is equivalent to cheating. I go over the limit to save time, the same reason you buy gold. The difference is I'm not circumventing an intended bottleneck, you are. There was a time when having an epic mount meant you were the hottest shit on the block. Now people consider you a nub for not having one, even if you hit 60 that day, and it's really unfortunate.
