Flying Carpet Problems

#0 - Dec. 17, 2008, 12:13 a.m.

I spent about 2000g to level my tailoring to be able to ride the epic flying carpet. It is a great mount with a great design model, but i am greatly disappointed with the fact that i have to spend a second to get on and off the mount and cannot trade, attack, or cast spells while on the mount. The flying mount also de-mounts if you login while riding it. If i wasn't a mage i would have died several times. Ultimately I think the flying carpet should act more like a normal mount like the gryphons and allow all the functions that the other flying mounts allow.

This is slated to be changed in an upcoming patch (not 3.0.8). All new mounts that currently function like vehicles will be changed to function like other standard mounts. This includes the flying carpet.
