Why cant our dragons hover? Yes i mean fly in the same place,you know,like all flying living things do?

Its so bad to farm mining/herbalism nodes with this “dragons” that act more like chickens.

Fix it.

Real-life references aside, I suppose the design reason is that the desired gameplay Blizzard wants Dragonriding to foster is a sense of fast flight and thrilling speed. Rather than just being an extension of your character’s movement, it’s unique and different in order to impose the sense of actually riding a dragon.

I quite like it.

A dragon is not a gliding lizard.

Farming mining / herbs with dragonriding is BAD experience.

You either fly into some tree or wall or just land.

Dragons hover (fly in same place).
another exampleof sonething that worked good and new staff ruined.

Fix it.

Whats not interesting is a dragon that cannot fly in same place.

It’s interesting enough. More interactive. Makes it harder for bots. And if you glide correctly the speed is insane.

Actually most can’t, they use the wind to cause lift in one place, that’s not hovering, it’s flying into the wind.
