So you’ve gone to “nou” when caught?
Got it.
Thanks for showing us your comments weren’t worth our time.

I did.
I’ll grant it’s not in the post you quoted, but I have talked freely about why Skyriding is actually easier on people with numerous accessibility concerns.
You do less while Skyriding than you do in piloting a class. You primarily use three abilities, the upward thrust, the surge forward, and the spin forward. You can also use the other abilities, but they’re not required for functionality.
Even BM Hunter uses more buttons than this, and also demands movement from you when mechanics call for it, even in open world content. Skyriding only ever moves in the direction you’re looking (something that also matters in piloting a class, since we do not have FFXIV’s legacy movement.)
Ergo;

And this is the crux of the issue. Players who dislike DF are using disabled players as some sort of bludgeon to make people who think you should have to play the game feel like bad people, and as some have described it, sociopathic. But really, if you can play the game, you’re 100% capable of dragonflight. It’s the same mechanics as the DH and Dracthyr glide for christ’s sake. It’s like saying Breath of the Wild or Batman Arkham is ableist because it has the exact same type of flight.
The abelism on display is locking one away while giving the other for free. Its not about playing the game. Its never been that players do not want to play the game. Its that one is given and the other is locked behind a gate for NO REASON.

This is exactly why I’m taking such a hard stance against this.
I am - and have said many times that I am - absolutely in favor of steady flight not being locked behind Pathfinder. I am not, however, in favor of being disingenuous to tear down an argument only a select few trolls make. Nor am I fond of being lumped in with said trolls despite making my stance abundantly clear to people.
TL;DR - It is fine to simply prefer one over the other, it is perfectly valid on its own merit, you do not need to convince me that you are disabled and Blizzard is being malicious.

Huh? You okay bro?

Fundamentally, it is. It’s controlled slowfall with mechanics to go faster or higher on a resource.

But it’s not actually anymore movement than one would experience when playing the actual game, ergo it’s not about being differently abled, and 100% about just having a different preference than others. You’re just making the other people with the different preference than you seem like something they are not.
It makes ME motion sick, and i rarely get motion sick.
I dont CARE if you and others like it, Im not trying to get your flight removed. I just dont want MY chosen flight locked behind an artificial wall while you get yours free.

Pretty sure i wasnt actually replying to you, personally, I know your stance.
You never used DH glide, right? There is no going faster or higher and there is no resource, therefore it isn’t nearly the same.
Are you arguing goblin glider and levitate is also the same as skyriding?

Correct. Those are the additions that skyriding gets, comparatively. There is also another difference I didn’t mention, I suppose, to be fair; Skyriding can hit a net 0 velocity, glide can’t.
They are working off of the same physics emulation framework.
To simplify; the difference between gliding of any kind and skyriding is the ability to regain altitude and variable speed. That’s it.
LMAO…IKR?
Dude KNOWs we have ION SAYING steady flight is there FOR accessbility in part…and KNOWS the accessibility section literally contains settings FOR skyriding effects lmao.

Nothing like the agenda driven mind to be so obsessed that it cannot accept fact, logic, reason…

Ion H: “some folks, for accessibility reasons, personal preference reasons, maybe you just like being able to afk in mid air…dragonriding isn’t your favorite, we dont want to take anything away.”
No, the accessibility ‘issue’ isnt fabricated…that sort NEEDS it to be so in order to be exonerated for their DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR AND MOCKERY of disabled players in here…

Blizzard would rather force you to play Superman 64 rather than give you the option to decide. I guess the one intern who invented dragon riding must have put a LOT of effort in and they really wanted you to experience it xD
Exactly.
As compared to those who have nothing else to do but sit at a monitor playing games 19 hours a day. lol.
Not that Im bashing that…all some have is games and such…but pretending that EVERYONE will have it done in a game sessoin is just a blatant lie.

The real reason it’s so butt is because of the way the map is designed. If you’re in Azj Kehet or trying to move anywhere from the lower areas of the map to the upper you either have to use regular flight or flight paths. Starting from Dorne and going down is never an issue. I used it when leveling an alt through WoD and that map I never stalled, just flew up and was able to glide anywhere. The verticality of the map is cool but really negates Dragonflight. It’s also terrible for gathering, so I admit it has it’s faults.
I’ll apologize and clarify that I don’t think regular flight should be removed, but I do see how having players learn how to use dragonflight would be beneficial to their own enjoyment of the mechanic. Face it, if it wasn’t forced, no one would learn how to use it. I didn’t like it at first, but after figuring it out, it’s enjoyable. I prefer this to having to buy some random new version of flying every expansion.
I did not appreciate being called a sociopath, but I understand how my tone could have been misunderstood. It was a reaction to the overuse of “accessibility” in relation to this mechanic.
