I know this topic has been discussed before, but I was wondering if opinion has changed.

I was looking through a list of upcoming changes, (both confirmed and just things that Yoshi stated he would like to do) and came across flying mounts. What purpose would this serve if normal mounts already feel purely cosmetic and pointless as a means of travel? The world feels so small and uninteresting because I can teleport anywhere I want within seconds.

What is your opinion on the removal of some aetherytes in order to make us explore, and get more use out of our mounts? Thanks in advance
