All mounts should be able to fly

[spf1200]

As the title says I feel that all mounts should be able to fly. Now before you get your panties in a bunch let me explain my reasons I feel this way.

The first reason is due to how swimming was implemented. Since swimming just copy & pasted flying it is locking some mounts from being used that should be able to such as the Elbst and Enbarr.

Second non-flying mounts are next to useless once you start to fly. Right now we have no reason to use many mounts 12 areas because flying is much faster. This is stopping many from using their favorite mounts for the sake of convenience.

Lastly and this is more of a counter to some responses I know are coming. Many are going to say that it doesn't make since for many mounts to fly, BUT we have many mounts that have no reason to fly already such as warsteeds, the t-rex, the tiger, tank mounts, and the elephant. Why is it OK for these to fly and not the others?

I know this will most likely never happen but i just wanted to throw it out there and see how others feel.

I think so too. All fly and swim. They already broke a realism barrier making turtle, elephant, bear etc fly. So that is not an issue. Of the remaining ARR mounts, most can just run on the air like the bear does with no additional effects necessary. Can then remove the flying mount roulette button since the normal mount roulette would work the same.

[Tridus]

Agreed. The flying chair and elephant remove any reason for other mounts to not fly at this point. It's just a nuisance to have a handful that don't.

I'd say the opposite actually... I'd like to see mounts that shouldn't be able to fly be grounded... the trex just looks silly... the Christmas bear can be explained away as can a few others... but I don't want to see flying behemoths... the ponies should fly... should be case by case... not all new mounts should fly either...

those mounts become useless then, because after getting the currents you pretty much never need to be on the ground again.
i'd be ok with it if we could use ground mounts in all cities, though.

Those mounts arent useless in ARR areas. You still cant fly in those areas.

To be fair, the elephant only flies because it's wearing magic carpet.

Agreed with the others you mentioned though and let's not forget flying chocobos and korpokkur and freaking floating plesiosaur.

Please let us use the old mounts again!

If recent mounts had more to them than literally just running through the air, sure. Something like Fenrir or the Raigo mount come to mind.

Hey, I know I'm living in a fantasy world when I see a flying elephant followed by a flying t-rex... followed by a spinning fire-propelled flying turtle. It just makes my day as an adventurer.
