I have to agree with this sentiment. I get more use out of my springer, and the skyscale is significantly slower than even a skimmer on land (and that's slow). Anytime I've tried to use it to get to higher places whether it be through climbing and a combination of dismounting, bond of vigor etc I STILL wind up on my griffon because it's faster. I am very disappointed in this mount. I did the grind but the mount really doesn't live up to the amount of grind you have to do to get it.
