For those that haven't caught up, List of confirmed flying mounts in 3.1

[Cidel]

An orb that literally does nothing but hover and attack makes more sense to fly?

Yes. Yes it does.

I grinded Fenrir because it's an awesome mount. I do enjoy having it. I don't enjoy Square Enix making my time spent almost completely devalued.

No. You knew exactly what you were getting with Fenrir and that's what you got. It still serves it's purpose in the 2.0 areas; and serves the exact same purpose that HW flying mounts do in those zones. I'm fine with them wanting to keep the mounts with wings relevant and making them flying mounts. I honestly expected them to just let Kirin gallop into the air, but I'm a little relieved to see they are giving it wing aesthetics.

People are asking about the primal horses because of Kirin, and I do find that ridiculous too, but because they're so related, I almost understand why. Fenrir is grasping at straws.

The sour grapes is real. in that case, let's make Behemoths, Drakes, and all other 2.0 mounts flyable because people have personal attachments to them.

I still think they should add an airship bladder to the tortoise with small rockets on the side of the shell so it can fly

[Colorful]

I have to wonder if people are going to demand that Fenrir, Behemoth, or Goobbues should swim on the level of a personal submarine if we ever get that underwater expansion too.

Yes. Yes it does.

So basically you dont want certain mounts flying because of some sort of real world logic that you're trying to apply to a fantasy setting where people fight in bikinis and randomly wear eyepatches that serve absolutely no functionality aside from an aesthetic purpose?

Would those be visible when on the ground, or do flaps open on top of, and in the side of, the shell to reveal the air-bladder and rockets when the Tortoise takes to the air? In my mind's eye, I have a mental image of Bugs Bunny riding this poor thing and then it jumps to fly, and the segments of the shell fold out to reveal tiny jet engines on the side, and then a huge gas bladder (bigger than should be possible) emerges from the top of the shell carrying Bugs high into the air...

The eyepatch is a lie, everyone I ever tried on was one-way see-through. They exist to prevent people from knowing where you are looking ... if they can only see one of side your face. Kind of like Uldal masks, but sneakier.

Allagan Tortoise breeds only, where they have been modified with cutting edge Allagan Gene-slicing technology that gives them rocket propellers on their legs.

Looking at the shell's shape, there's clearly only one way to make an adamantoise properly fly.

Really excited for the 2-seaters being able to fly! And I really need to get that bomb mount now.

It can't fly like that. Not without a red shell

Don't put words in my mouth.

There is an inflated amount of entitlement coming from people who want something like their precious epeen grind/lucky number mount that realistically has no reason to fly and was not designed to do so to be suddenly designed to fly because they don't like that other mounts (most with wings/ added attachments at the developers' discretion) are getting the means to do so.

Armor and clothes were always meant to be worn.
