I'm sorry but the fact that the Hippogryph didn't land was an obvious act of laziness on Blizz's part. 99% of people who care about the mount are a little bit happier that it can actually land now rather than perpetually stay afloat.(Why does a creature evolve to have legs if it doesn't use them btw?)Originally Posted by tosa
I also think you under estimate how many people were disappointed after buying the Cenarian mount and finding it couldn't land. It was not terribly easy to get back in the day and was often immediately shelved due to the disapointment. I've seen many demands on the forums for the animation. It's inclusion should not be a huge suprise.
Also... If you really don't want your mount to walk on the ground have you considered that it's still going to be totally within your power to simply. Not. Land!
Come on people, of all teh changes Blizzard has ever made this has got to be one where everyone should be happy... :
