I love everything about the Airships, from the buffs to the convenient travel. However the view from an airship is about as interesting as the view from a 747 when flying to Hawaii... pretty freakin' boring. Which is a shame considering the effort required to get one and the opportunity they provide.
Instead of airships flying over some random body of water it would be so much cooler if they were flying over a model of the whole city, providing airships with one of the best views in the game and giving people another reason for being on the ships other than quickly buffing and heading out to the next quest.
Plus it would make it seem as if the ship you are on is one of the random airships that already constantly fly around the main parts of the city, adding to the whole immersion factor.
