I yelled really loudly and groaned plenty whenever I had to do Sylph dailies.

The other beast tribe quests had me more invested. Particularly the Sahagin and the Amal'jaa. Novv Clutch November baaaaby! It probably also helped that their areas were smaller, with less mage monsters. The issue with the Sylphlands is that everything is ranged, so everything agros at a distance and hits you from there. You might as well not even bother with the mount there, unless you have your Agro Avoidance License.

Doing them with flying at level 80 where you can't even get agro'd sounds like some sort of fever dream of paradise.
