But alas, OP has buyer's remorse. As a person that has the riding skill, Madda can confirm that it won't make you go as fast as a 100% mount in WoW, as many people including the OP (which hopefully isn't you) think it does. Madda thinks having a mount with the basic riding skill counts as "required", but many people will have different opinions. Keep in mind that just because an upgrade is available doesn't mean it's required for you to get it. Madda never upgraded to epic flying in WoW until Mists because of the price alone. So as the lovely Lanky said;
 * Mostly anything. Madda can think of a few required things for Wildstar. Like a keyboard and a mouse!

You missed the point here. I didn't say that it was required to get the Expert Riding Skill. Neither did the OP.

Noone said it wasn't a QoL upgrade. Noone said it should make you a better raider or PvPer.

Stop derailing the thread please. edit: Let me try and clarify here. OP is not about "Expert Riding skill is required, and therefore should be good." OP is about "Expert Riding skill costs 80p, but doesn't give a benefit worth paying that much for."

Worth is all in the eye of the beholder. It is worth it if someone buys it, otherwise they wouldn't buy it. Could it be jazzed up a bit? Sure. Is 50g for an AMP reset 'worth it'. Well, to some it is, and others it isn't.

I agree. I only just purchased the mount speed increase, the one for 50g, and as I was zipping (yeah, right) along after purchase I looked over at my husband and said: "Hey, hon, look; I just paid 50g to go the same speed!" XD I know, it is a bit faster, but it isn't much, and I refuse to purchase the 80p one because of how so many say it's ridiculously underwhelming. For the price, yeah, you should be roaring along. No, it isn't necessary for game play or progression, but for God's sake, if you are dropping 80p for something it had better damn well be good!

^ This is the TLDR version of my post. Also overlooked is that while pleasantly surprised that the mount vendor lists it for 76p (yay! reputation has a use!), it still charges you 80p.

Unfortunately, since no meaningful conversation is being made, Madda will have to stop replying to you until you come up with a proper response to Madda's point.

Not exactly. Madda and a few other people's point still remain. OP talks about a riding skill increase not worth the money. A point is made that the upgrade is optional. People get upset and reply saying that it's irrelevant (somehow).

I'd listen to it.... ...With Arms Wide Open.
