You do realize if you have PoF you can go get the mount pretty much as soon as you start playing right? Its the first quest and it come with a boost so just boost a throw away alt to 80, do the first quest, unlock the raptor and boom its there for all your characters.
Then just go back to your leveling toon and enjoy having the mount. This is what I did when I started playing and it made leveling so much better.
Seriously you can get a mount faster in this game than in any other MMO I have ever seen.
