The worlds are designed as corridors, not expansive areas that lend themselves to exploration by flight. WoW zones can be HUGE and are fun to explore by air. SWtoR just doesn't have the same open aspect to it's zones.
Remember the same was true for WoW. The game wasn't designed for flight, so they actually did redesign the whole world for personal flight. Well, except for the Blood elf and Draenei starting zones. You still can't fly there, lol.

ps - hey, GW2 doesn't have mounts, period

There have been others with free flight as ability for the character without a mount (super hero mmo's and aion for instance ). Oh wait! The first game I ever played with a flying mount was Anarchy Online (circa 2003). Technically the Yalmaha is a vehichle even though it's really a character transformation into the vehichle.

Yep ... yep ... yep ... but some just don't care to hear it. For them it's all about me ... want ... now ... If the game ever gets flying mounts - cool. If the game never gets flying mounts - cool. I pay to play just the way it is now. If I want true perfection (in anything let alone a MMORPG) I'll simply wait for the all the stars & planets to line up. Or not ...
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Technically they all are lined up in a singular "linear" leveling progression.

You really enjoy trashing this game. Glad a passion burns for something.

You inferred where nothing was implied.

History is its own reference. Some choose to ignore it, or even revise it if only to seek comfort in their own mind. The obvious implies itself.

The thing is MMORPGs didn't use to have mounts, then they did (well mostly).

Some people expect flying mounts as part of that progression (especially if they just come from WoW).

It may be unrealistic, but equally it is understandable.



(and it probably doesn't help that SWG had it before it closed)
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Depends on which side you are on. There are those that claim I am a biodrone. There are those that claim I am a hater. I have been called both. SSDD.

Yes, but flying mounts are not a good thing. When they put them in wow it killed the MMORPG feel of the game and it kinda just became a 3d chat room with some instances.

Flying vehicles only really work in MMOs like Planetside 2. Where you have a huge open world and everything interacts with each other. When they put them in RPGs it just makes the ground feel empty and random player interactions die off, which is what MMOs are all about.
