I start this post saying that I think that flying mount removal was a good thing. Yeah it slows down travel times, but its made the game feel more open and alive in my opinion. That doesn't mean that flying mounts don't have a place in the game. I just think that they need a redesign.
I propose that instead of a floating flying mount that can just sit in the air infinitely. We make all mounts Gliders that have lets say 5 charges of thrust. Thrust is like a wing flap of the mount that lifts you up. each type of mount can have different thrusts etc etc... Like Gladiator mounts and high end raiding mounts can have extra charges. Would make those mounts more prestigious and desired.
And you can add rigid flying animations in this as well. Like gliding straight down for faster flying and fall damage if you crash into the ground. Would really love to see something like this. Please share this post with your friends. I want some feedback please.
EDIT: started my post with the dreaded, "most of us"
