We have this great clover carpet for Brew day but it doesn't fly. Please let those of us who have flight fly. Pretty please?
When flying mounts came in game we were told (and no, I can't remember the details) that old model carpets would never truly fly - I want to say it was for animation reasons. Since then they've introduced additional flying models which are similar. Rather like the sokokar had to be re-done to be a proper flying mount instead of a ride.
The new carpets look nice, but I really really really want to fly my Maj'dul carpet. Hopefully copying the carpet textures from our older carpet styles to the new StationCash carpet wouldn't be that difficult. It certainly can't take as much work as completely rebuilding the Sokokar model and making new flying animations. If they do reuse the SC carpets but swap in the other carpet appearances, I'd reduce the size of the tassels.
