I have no issues with ground mounts, but here’s the reason it would be very hard to implement flying mounts. Every zone is a separate instance, that’s why you need to use the portals to get to a different zone. If you get to the end of a zone, it just cuts of and there’s an invisible wall.

I already submitted a bug report about how I got here btw, and I didn’t use any glitches to do it.
