A plea to Blizzard for regular flying in Dragonflight

And I hope not, because the old flying is very overpower with the direct control it has. It would bring back druid farm bots, It would hurt the market.

It would force players to use both mounts. One for getting to point a and b the other to fly to gather once you in the area.

We only need one flying system, and you can go at a slower speed if you wanted with dragon riding.

The only thing Dragonriding has over regular flying is in Warmode, where flying is always limited due to vigor, and players can’t just fly away from griefers and keep going. There’s not really any escape, unless you’re better at managing vigor than the griefer.

That’s it.

It’s not about one type of flight being superior, or bots, or whatever ridiculous excuse, because bots will always exist, don’t need flying because a lot are apparently subterranean now, it’s sub income even when they get banned because they just resub and Blizz keeps getting their money, and players on regular mounts have zero affect on players using their DR mounts. None. DR is faster. It’s not like they’re going to beat you somewhere even if you need to stop for a vigor regen.

IT’S ABOUT PVP.

It would be great if you all were honest, but that’s impossible for cowards.

Griefers are why PvP is dead, Warmode exists instead of entire servers, and most players won’t turn it on even for the exp bonus.

There’s absolutely nothing about regular flying that affects Dragonriding when both exist simultaneously.

Which flying will depend on your choice of mount.

Just stop with these selfish, hurtful, narcissistic threads that are passive-aggressively demeaning the disabled WoW players who cannot physically manage Dragonriding.

I bet you have two working arms with two working hands, so one can use the keyboard and the other the mouse. Or have ever once had vertigo so bad you ended up in the ER.

Lucky you didn’t see combat in Afghanistan and get your lower arm blown off. Or have cerebral palsy affecting your limbs and can’t do both keyboard and mouse simultaneously.

There are many players with disabilities who play this game who can use regular flying but Dragonriding is an impossibility.

Try, for once, thinking about anyone other than yourself.

Dragonflying doesn’t require effort even for me right now. I do it without even thinking.

Totally agree.

And there’s no reason not to have both.

Ok real question: If they add back in old flying, but keep it at the old speed (300%?), as many have requested… would you really be ok going so much slower then dragon riders?

I know this wasn’t directed at me but I’d like to answer nonetheless. YES. Absolutely.

Confession: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE DRAGONRIDING!!!

The first thing I did when I got my drake was to immediately get all the glyphs! I can’t describe how relaxed I am now about playing and enjoying the new content because flying for me is by far the best feature of the game.

Because I have Dragonriding I don’t feel the necessity to do chores just so I’ll be ready when Parhfinder is finally enabled.

However, I still want regular flying too because situations have already arisen where I’d really love to have regular flying, like landing to get the bone to get the Barbie Pink frog pet, and just fly around looking at the artwork and getting my bearings.

Travel in WoW is situational and requires different tools for different situations.

I still use ground mounts and take flight paths.

Sometimes after a stressful day, I love to fly around mindlessly herbing on my Druid because it’s so relaxing.

I’m thankful I’m able-bodied and have no problems with Dragonriding. (But I’m old and that could change tomorrow.)

And I love Dragonriding and am having a blast. But I see no reason not to have both.
