I love the wind current idea to unlock flying!

I think it's great that you have to unlock flying, but I'd still rather not have flying, or at least have flying enemies as well. Biggest issue with flying is that it just cheapens the overworld, sure they made mobs tougher but once you've finished questing and can fly? Who cares. You'll fly over all the challenge. The world still wont feel dangerous because we'll just be flying over everything. Flying enemies, or even just enemies that can aim up, would at least provide some incentive to not just fly everywhere. Kind of weird that, in an expansion about Dragons, the skies will be clear for us to safely fly in...

Not really, because you have to explore the world on foot to unlock all the wind currents in that zone, which means you have to face the danger before you can fly. Unlocking flying is not quest based, not in the sense that doing a series of quests unlocks it. Quests will only unlock your flying mount, but it can't fly until you find all wind currents in that zone.
