Flying in Housing Wards

Why not?

We can use our mounts already, why not let us fly too?

Maybe make the prerequisite "Complete the Quest 'I Believe I can Fly'" (gain flight for your Company Chocobo).

This would require they redesign the wards to accommodate the views flying would grant. We can't see very far past the walls, flying would let us see over the walls to view where the developers didn't populate with scenery. Honestly, it's not needed so I don't see any good reasons to have it.

You say why not, I say why in the first place.

All this would do would make you go from your house to the market board half a second quicker.

Don't be lazy please :p

Why would you want to fly in a very confined map space? Are the aetherytes not fast enough for you?

you would need to find aether currents. Some of the currents will be in closed houses, where you have to /tell to the owner and hoping he don't mistake you as a RMT and don't /blist you.

positions of remaining aether currents change with every weely reset, because of the possibility that one can show up in an abandoned closed house.

This way you explores the houses and furnitures of the neighbours first before you can just fly other their houses.

Hmm, maybe also the chance to put some side quest chains into the housing areas?

The housing wards are very small, but even so, as someone who would like to be able to fly anywhere we can ride our chickens/other flying mounts, I have to support flight in the character housing areas.

That said, I don't expect to see it happen, like, ever.

You mean like the christmas quest event? The one that you need to visit someone's house yard to touch the christmas tree?

It saddens me how this community is turning into WoW when it comes to flying.

I don't even like mounts in housing areas. It seems rude.

Yes, but inside the houses. And RNG place them, not the players.

The zones aren't designed for flight, it'd take a lot more work than just flicking the fly switch. And we know how much SE hates working on housing.

(And it would also ruin my FC's jumping puzzle to get onto our roof and enjoy the view.)

I don't think people would like traffic in their house and may make their house private as a result
