Why still no flying primal horses?

If they can make a chair fly, a goobbue fly, a t-rex fly, and even a gigantic whale fly, then they can make my little pony fly, right?

I think the Goobbue sneezed on their pixie dust stash.

It's the SE way. It never helps to apply reasoning when questioning SE's actions.

well the PVP horse already flies so there's no lore reason why they can't. That said the PVP horses do look terrible when they fly so they might be delaying it until some future date when someone want to do a new animation to make them look half decent when flying

I don't see how it would be that challenging to put a rainbow or a cloud under the horse for it to run on, it could fade away behind it. I think that would look just fine

It would be fairly easy to do but it's probably pretty low on the to do list

SE also made the cavalry drake (mount from the Amalj'aa tribe quests) flyable. I don't think there is any lore available on why the drake suddenly gained the ability to fly. If SE can do that, they can make the ponies fly.

I did find it odd that none of the primal horses could fly yet but things that have absolutely no lore reason to fly can. I am personally of the mind, and I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion, that not everything needs to fly. I also feel it's weird that all flying mounts can swim. I kind of like the idea of having swimming mounts, land mounts and Flying mounts. But that's just me looking at it from a lore perspective. Kind of makes things less unique when everything can do everything, but what do I know.

I feel the same way. So your not alone on this. Mounts like the primal horses should have been one of only a few types of original ground mounts that could actually be able to fly through the air (and Leviathan's could swim).

Personally, I think it's just a waste of resources to make everything fly just because and it indeed takes the fun out of owning a mount that actually can fly or swim when you see a Fat Chocobo swimming like a mermaid or a Behemoth gassing it's way through the air (neither literally, of course, but both would actually be quite entertaining to see).

Took the words right out of my mouth. I am also of an unpopular opinion regarding such things. I'm a bit of a conservative and favor and support traditional values. SE was of a like-mind at one point but continues to jeopardize this by caving into player demand and allowing flight to mounts like gobbues, drakes, and behemoths. So at this point, there really is no reason to not just give flight to everything, including primal ponies.
