PLEASE change the "smoke cloud" effect behind flying mounts!

When you fly forward, there are giant smoke clouds behind your mount. This gets worse the bigger your mount is.

I have been having a fair bit of eye strain from this visual effect issue, and after taking it up with SE support, they had to look into it before even realizing it was not a bug.

I would really like if SE looked into this in some manner.

I kinda like them actually, but to each their own.

This is something that has affected me on numerous occasions. If nothing else, the option to turn it off would be appreciated.

This is going to be one of those things I never noticed before but now cannot stop noticing, I can feel it.

Anyway, if it’s really bothering you I hope they see this and make it a toggle.

That's why a "Flying Mount Particle Toggle" option would be the best of both worlds. I don't mind them on very small mounts, but they are much too obnoxious for me in most cases.

As something that has ALWAYS AND FOREVER IRRITATED THE HOLY HECKIN STUFF OUT OF ME, I second this.

I wouldn't bat an eye if they were made into a toggle or outright removed. I just like them as things currently stand.

I know what you mean.
I felt the same way where a friend pointed out to me that only our chocobo mounts leave footprints.
And even then only some of them do (fat & fat black ones don't).

At least the footprints only cause issues in a limited amount of places!

This, so much this. My poor potato laptop *hates* misty particle effects like this, so in some zones I throttle a lot just from flying around. And in the zones where the dust cloud is super notable, it's just eye strain. I'd love an option to toggle it off on my end.
