Tank mounts should fly!

[Kaisinel]

I find it very unfair that you are making Fenrir and Adamantois fly and not the other mounts people have worked hard for. I want fairness because everyone should get a turn in competitive things. I don't think it is very nice that SE would only cater to a few and not everyone. Where is the fairness SE? Panthers, bears and lions can fly can't they? I want immediate fixes to this situation or I shall rant some more. Thank you!

From Yoshi P interview with 4Gamer - 29th December 2015:

Interviewer: After that, you might also get demand for the tank-specific mounts to fly.

Yoshida: We thought it would be better to skip those for now because we'd have to implement flight for all three at the same time.

Interviewer: Well, things like lions and bears... people might be talking about what would bears be doing flying?

Yoshida: Well, it's still on the list of flying candidates. However, it takes some fairly detailed work to make all of the dedicated animations like take-off, landing, and the way they cut through the wind, plus setting the riding position of the character and the specific sound effects.

Well sky bear already existed so flight for bears shouldn't be hard! I'm tired of us tanks getting shafted on everything. I want reparations

Thats not the problem according to the quote, he is saying that each mount takes a lot of work, and that they would want to implement all 3 at the same time, hence taking a bit longer than fenrir and the turtle

it's still on the list of flying candidates.

Also, tanks each get a mount (flying or otherwise), whereas other jobs get nothing so we hardly get shafted.

for the sake of fairness, why should only the tank mounts be able to fly? that's unfair too. what about the DPS and healer mounts? they should be able to fly too :O

What DPS mounts? The only healer mount is the Unicorn, and if it could fly that would make it a Pegasus, which is already in the game and is a flying mount. Tank mounts are a huge pain to get, the unicorn one only needs a level 30 conjurer.

I made a thread about this a while back, except it was more in line with adding a new achievement for all tanks, that would reward the flying mount for their job.

I don't think it's unfair tanks get a mount over dps. No offense but it's like a 1:10 ratio on tanks vs dps everyone wants to play dps so they implemented that for the sake of getting people to play the classes. Tanks were kinda non existent when they didn't do that.

Also I just find it stupid they are making a wolf and a turtle fly. So honestly they should make the tank ones fly since as stated previously it's just as much a pain to get them as the MGP ones are.

I actually prefer this idea, I dont want a flying bear or coerl (dumb idea is dumb), and adding an extra step to the achievement (400 wins) would add more incentives to play the role

[Kaisinel]

But flying wolf and turtle are terrific ideas?
