How old are you? Some people’s legs go numb sitting down for 30 minutes, some not for a couple hours and others can sit all day. This is called LIFE which has PEOPLE in it that are NOT THE SAME. I hope one day you will come to understand things like “different”.

Nooooo, because I have to do it double the amount to control the character and mount. It requires my hand and arm to be engaged at all times. Try to fly your dragonriding mount with the keyboard, instead of the mouse. Then try an old flying mount. One is far more difficult than the other.

Your character isn’t doing anything while dragonriding.

I agree, I don’t think a lot of people will end up using it, I just think it’s a cheap thing to do to the players when flying was available day 1. I can DR just fine, but I can tell you it’s not for me and I’ve taken more taxis than any previous expansion so date. If also bet DR would have received less hate if they applied it to all mounts, which I think gets to the core of why I hate it. The dragons are just hideous, and the customizations are laughable at best.

That’s pretty ironic considering these renown and pathfinding threads……

This is true only not in the way you are attempting to make it sound.
People that hate a new flight mechanic want the old mechanic the game has had back the way it was while others are coming in trying to fight in any way possible to make them use it or have to grind so hard it makes their eyes bleed while also insulting anyone with physical issues for not being able to do it.
Takes a lot of tears to go so far as make fun of people.

As I’ve said in all these threads, I think they did that because they wanted to avoid 2 years of whining that old-school flying needs its speed boosted because it’s too slow.
You can circle the date on your calendar when those threads are going to start. We’re going to be inundated with them.
No way, really. I mean controlling it for regular movement. Press both mouse buttons down and move it to move the character. This is also how one flies currently. Doing it constantly for an hour is uncomfortable to difficult for me. This game came out when I was 21, I’m not anymore.

So you’re… 39?
You might want to customize your controls. I’m 53 and not having any issues. A good customized UI does wonders.
yeah because its so much better to drive players away than do something as simple as increase a mounts speed. This game needed a 3rd mount speed 10 years ago.

Nobody was driven away by this; the people who are claiming they’re so upset about this would have just manufactured some other reason to be upset, instead.

I explained why it’s not understandable and highly illogical. You’re completely missing the point.
Nah, that’s insincere, I’m sorry. Dragonflying does not require your hands and arms to be engaged at all times. Even with old mounts you have to turn and move occasionally and there’s no need to hold the mouse button all the time. As I’ve said - if that’s a problem then you wouldn’t be able to walk around with your character in different content. Because that takes MUCH more control and engagement than flying with the dragon. How do you handle that? How’s that working?
I don’t know what you’re doing when you’re flying, but there’s something going very wrong. No wonder some people have problems with flying when they’re doing it wrong in the first place.

Oh, that’s for certain, we all know the forums are going to forum. We also know that Blizz is notorious for ignoring player feedback, so I’m pretty sure they’re not that worried.
What I would have loved to see is for regular flying and DR to have been released on day 1 then actual metrics a few months after that on how often both types of mounts are used.

So actually publish that 99.99% of players were using dragonflying mounts?
heh
Prove it. All information available shows this not only is the lowest selling expansion but the zones are population light which means even more people have quit since its release.
Good games do not lose players in this quantity. So much self-cutting going on.
Keep showing you do not understand the reality of humans being different.

Thats great, I’m glad nothing has happened to you that impairs your ability to use your hands like that. Sadly, I have had. And when I’m not able to do much, being able to interact with other people and run around in a fantasy world is really nice. Sometimes I lay on my face and listen to audiobooks when that happens, but I’m not sure it’s healthy to do that all the time.

It’s the lowest selling expansion because Blizzard carved the central premise out of the game and put some lady on the box that casual players won’t even recognize.
Not because people received a vastly superior and faster travel system.
I’m actually in the camp that flying was a mistake, which may be another reason why I hate dragon riding so much. I miss how the world felt from the ground.

Come on, slice it one more time.
I think you’d be dead wrong given the choice day 1, but we’ll never know
