Will $24 Sleipnir mount fly?

The answer is for the price, yes, yes it should. :-)

The price is for what it was two years ago, before primals rewarded mounts. A pretty mount you didn't have to work for to get.

Any modifications SE decides to make (if at all) to the mount would be extremely generous, and they are in no way obligated to do so. Be happy for that which you originally paid.

Since it's primary benefit is null due to being fairly commonplace in terms of appearance, shouldn't that mean adding an additional benefit to it that makes it better than the Primal Ponies would be something to make it worth the cost as opposed to making it a somewhat redundant/superfluous mount?

If that were a viable arguement, then people should pay more for said upgrade.

Nobody who paid for a horse mount is owed any more than a horse mount.

Owed? No, but simply going by what you said it sounds as though the mount was originally meant to stand out and be a fairly special thing. Now that it's commonplace to have a horse-like mount, that speciality has been removed. If the incentive was to have a mount that would be special in such a way, I think it only logically follows that you'd want to have it stand out once again as opposed to simply becoming a relic of the past. Were it never special outside of simply being Odin's specific horse, it'd be a different story, and I honestly didn't play until roughly 6 months ago so my knowledge concerning how it was upon release is fairly non-existent.

Simply using the logic that it was once special due to X reason, and that reason is now null, would seem to mean adding a new reason it's special and making the 24 dollars more meaningful than it has become would be a fair outcome.

You paid for the mount as it is. Any upgrades to it are at SE's discretion, and making it flyable just because people have to buy it to have it isn't a good argument.

THAT SAID: While it won't be at launch, many current mounts will be made flyable around 3.1 (possibly 3.2), including all the primal mounts. Sleipnir counts as a primal mount meaning it will eventually fly.

If they added the ability to fly, I'd imaging they could wring more sales out of the thing. I'm sure they already know this.

I'm pretty sure that Sleipnir is considered a Primal Mount and, as such, I assume it will be granted the ability to fly when the other six Primal Mounts are. Though Kirin gets first dibs on flight.

I pretty sure they said it would be able to fly. Forgot what article stated that.

there are no wings, so its no pegasus

Hm. When the mount was first released, I said I would only buy it if it could fly and shoot lasers out of its butt.

We're halfway there.

...C'mooon butt lasers.
