Do we really need Flying Mount in this game?

[Snugglebutt]

Yes we do. It adds an additional element to the game which can be enjoyed by people, if the flying mount element of the game is done in an intelligent and competent way such as well designed zones that are created with their use in mind...adding content like flying islands/locations which make use of it or air based fighting plus other things then by all means they should add it.

From what I understand they are not making the entire game open to flying mounts, only certain new zones which are suited and built around their use so the world won't feel any more empty and in fact will feel less empty because of doing it this way as opposed to just plopping flying mounts into the game without any content dedicated to their presence.

WoW's problem is they plopped flying mounts in which could be used in many zones with no regard for how much flying based content to interact with in those zones outside of a couple quests and couple flying platforms in one single zone (at least last time I played it), the rest of the world was not designed with them in mind and there was no content present in most of the world which made use of them outside of flying from A to B when you could of just rode a ground based mount or walked there (all the content in those zones being ground based locations, quests and fights).
