    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

    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'm of the feeling that the primal ponies will get their due eventually - they're just now starting to work their way down the list of mounts to make them all eventually flight capable. Hence why you're seeing some of the first mounts in the game now being given flight - behe, goobue, cavalry drake. just be patient takes time to add effects and other animations/what not for flight.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
