My goal in life is to do all I can to make the world a better place, and advocating for accessibility on the WoW Forums is just one tiny fraction of that. Shoo.
That poster is just flat out WRONG…Ion himself says steady flight is there in part for ACCESSIBILITY…Ion doesnt need that posters agreement in the matter

Ion H: “steady flight has its place, certainly for accessibility reasons”

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.”
the joker knows the issue here is PATHFINDERs existence, having created two classes of players with its degenerate existence…those who DONT have to do it for their flight…and those who do.
Nothing will be resolved until PF is no longer required for EITHER flight…OR required for BOTH
meh, it motivated me to get pathfinder done, now I’m happily rolling around as slowly I like. The sense of achievement was brief and weak but its done now for all my toons.
Agreed, I don’t understand Blizzard’s sorta hesitancy on steady-flying now just being a baseline earned component.
Swift is essentially better for movement in pretty much every capacity, only maybe when farming herbs/minerals is it worse due to the constant landing and generation of charges being slightly behind when done too quickly.
Unlike previous expansions it’s also pretty trivially unlocked so it really does only impact the players whom have accessibility issues as farmers will essentially just rush to 80 and complete the relevant achievements to unlock steady anyway.
I am happy they elected to keep flying at the start of the expansion though, not really a whole lot going on in regards to ground-related travel this expansion as the zones seem significantly smaller than DF.
