Once you got the bicycle...

....you can't stop from riding it ^^
And the same rule can be applied even to the gryphons. Since i got this big chicken i can't stop myself and i use it almost everytime: to go back to the questgivers, to go into places even if it is faster to use the tiger or just to make a uhm.. flight around and see the areas from the point of view of the birds ^^.



Anyway i've discovered how important is to have a gryphon (or a flying mount anyway) in Outland because you can get some quests, or solve them, only if you're able to fly. For instance once you'll be asked to talk to a dragon in Shadowmoon Valley... and they only way you can go close to him is riding the gryphon, indeed ^^



Moreover, even if you can go almost everywhere with your tiger / horse / ram / strangebirdmachinethatmakespollution you discover that flying is just funnier. Because you don't have to follow the road, you don't have to worry about the mobs, you can fly over an horde city and finally see how they look inside....



...and because what you see on the back of your white bird is simply amazing. I think that when they've created these places they have thought they had to appear more and more beautiful on the back of the flying mount.
