Next Expansion and Flying.

[ZeroPointSigma]

First, I'm not a fan of the errant aether currents thrown out in the middle of nowhere. I know they're sort of there to get people to explore the areas, but I would much rather do away with those and tie all of them into quests. I would much rather have obtaining them be interesting via stories, than just *click compass, run in direction.* Even if the quests/stories tied to them are mundane as hell, I could at least enjoy getting them instead of popping the compass every 10 seconds to play Marco Polo.

Second, ENOUGH with making every single mount able to fly. Bears, T-Rexes, friggin Gobbues. Yes, I know people say that "If it doesn't fly, no one will want it!" but compensate terrestrial mounts. Make them faster on land, than the flying mounts are while flying. This evens out, as a flying mount can go over terrain obstacles, while the terrestrial mounts can zoom around it. I, for one, would love to feel like I'm hauling ass on a chocobo, or a ground-based Fenrir.
