I submit a request here to remove these horses in the Lavastorm revamp that fly you to different points of the map. These are unneeded and make no sense what-so-ever in the game. Much like the Loping Plains mounts, how can these "horses" gain flight? How do these fit into lore at all? I know they are a convience for the "lazy players" but don't we already have enough options for a quick transportation? Why do we need mounts to move us in every single overland zone? Seems all these places are getting easier and easier. Is anyone else in agreement with me that these as well as the Loping Plains "flying horses" should be removed?
don't like it? don't use it.
I say we should have drakota fly us around then instead of horses.
Either change horses to something else (drakota?) or remove it.

Agree, the paths that the horses take are simply awkward. The terrain of Lavastorm IMO would be more suited to some sort of flying mount.
They clip into walls also drake would be better
They could also add an extra few quests to gain such a service from them considering that they would likely be pretty hostile to the idea under normal circumstances.

How can they fly? You play a game filled with MAGIC and ask that?
I agree with the 2nd poster in this thread. Don't like it? Don't use it.
I, for one, am sick of having to walk a pretty long distance to get to the Temple of Solusek Ro regardless of whether I take the teleport pad to the Solusek's Eye zone or not.
Why don't the devs just give a stone that has the capability to teleport you instantly to every zone/instance you wanted? Pretty much do that now, what happened having to explore and take risks to get to certian places? Thats gone now, theres no adventure, just lazy point and click and your there while you sit back and relax. No more adventure, no more effort, just lazyiness presides. Its all about convience now-a-days which I feel is a shame but no one else seems to agree with me.

I personally would prefure just adding more Teleport pads in, like one to Temple of Sol Ro, and a few other key locations. Then turn the pad at the LS docks into a click to activate port, so you can choose wich pad to port too.

Best idea to solve travel in Lavastorm and it fits the LS lore.

Turns out that they did make the one at LS docks Click to activate, and you still have to travel to the other end to "attune" yourself too it... Personally I would like to see this replace the Flying Horses... then give us the horse model as a new mount... maybe dropped in a Raid or something and give it a speed as fast as Bard/Druid runspeed.
i could go on all day.
The problem as I see it is where you have a zone that is simply a traverse between other zones (eg Butcherblock) the idea of "insta-travel" is acceptable whereas I really don't see a huge issue if the zone in question is your ultimate destination. Then the travel to the instance within the zone in question should be part of the journey and you are trivialising the zone if you can just fly over the top of it. In this regard I like the griffon travel in TD where you can't jump off where you choose. Lavastorm, however is a dead end. You're not travelling through on your way to somewhere else. As such I think the idea of flying horses just makes the game a series of interconnected instances where overland mobs are just an "annoyance". May as well make every mob in the game directly accessible from your guild hall.
Personally I'd prefer to see all these modes of "insta-travel" within zones taken out completely but I acknowledge that I am in the severe minority here. To all those saying "well just don't use them" I would shoot back at them that if they don't like travelling through a zone then just don't go there at all.
