Accessibility should not have to be earned. Steady flying should be automatically available as an alternative

Then you should act like I’m not worthy of your attention. You keep indirectly responding to me through other posters and keep flying off the handle. It’s genuinely concerning, and I say that as someone who has spent time on these forums for the last 6 years and have seen my fair share of unhinged posters.

Ion is quickly coming around to the reality that PFs intended purpose no longer exists.
The second ANYONE could fly day one without that ‘exploration’ crap, PF’s purpose was murdered and it should have been removed immediately.

I don’t think that most of those whom have disabilities that make Skyriding difficult are playing the game the same as those that raid, pvp or do M+. Many enjoy questing, exploring and doing things in the game less complicated (dexterity minded)

Sounds to me like Ion is ALREADY considering removing PF entirely.

I can hear the whining in here already if ihe does remove it lol.

Skyriding is not as difficult as any of those things listed. To assume that when I say “skyriding isn’t any more difficult than the rest of the game” that I’m referring to the hardest content available would be disingenuous. When I say the rest of the game, I mean the rest of the game, open world questing and normal/heroic dungeons included.

Skyriding isn’t any more difficult than hopping around a quest area and killing enemies. It’s genuinely one of the most low-effort things in this game.

Steady flying wasn’t introduced as an accessibility feature. Most people find it a very accessible feature to use. Not all certainly, but most. This does not make it an accessibility feature. Or an accessibility issue. Because if you do not have flight, you still have access to the game and the ability to complete Pathfinder. You just don’t have any real argument besides ‘I think this.’

Also, pathfinder sucks, and both flights should have been walled together or both not walled at all. Blizzard walling only the one gives us a hint about what may really be going on because I promise you, if they thought they could remove it altogether they would. Dragonflight was not a quality of life improvement.

Clearly.
Flight is a mode of travel. Something we ALL use.
M+…isnt.
Raiding…isnt.
Not even close to comparable.

One is for TRAVEL and has no real meaning in this game other than saving some travel time…literally NO valid reason for anyone to be that compulsively obsessed when we’re simplly asking for PARITY here.

there was ONLY ONE FLIGHT mode then . lol

TODAY THERE ARE TWO …so rambling on in here about old flight not being SOLD AS accessbilty LiTERALLY shows that you all have NO CLUE what THIS discussion is actually about.

and no son…I have ION saying exactly what Im saying…

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.”

Gating the old flying is beyond stupid. It reeks of micro management from the financial department.

No excuse for how they handled it and you are either running damage control, being a contrarian, or just a bad faith actor if you say otherwise.

I disagree, so do many that have disabilities.

How does it harm your game play for customers to use Steadyflight?

Can you stop asking disingenuous, leading questions? Is that possible?

The poster is not wrong. Skyriding requires relatively low effort compared to other gameplay activities. That’s a fact. It’s not up for debate.

You don’t need to misconstrue facts to shape whatever weird agenda you’re going for here.

Not my motive to be disingenuous. How is it that I am?

See that’s exactly the point it doesn’t affect his game. It doesn’t affect any of their games. If it affected their games I’d be more inclined to have a little sympathy for them but the fact is they’re in here trolling for attention nothing more because it absolutely has no consequence for them if you get steady flight at the same point they get their flight

They are literally just in here to be contrarians because they want attention. Prove me wrong.

Not one of them has offered a single valid reason why Pathfinder needs to exist for steady flight and then not be there the same exact way for dynamic flight

And then when they get their argument shot down in flames they start doing the thing where they’re mocking disabled people and others having problems with dynamic flight

Every post that they make in here proves beyond argument that they are just in here to troll for attention and there is absolutely no valid reason for them to even have a word to say about this topic

Because virtually everyone of your replies is some victim nonsense, like other people are trying to take toys away from you. Nobody here cares whether you prefer steady flight or not.

It’s laughable.

A fact? I don’t think so.

What requires more effort? Skyriding or m+? Dungeons? Raids? PvP? Delves? Completing quests in combat?

Of all those activities, sky riding is easier. If it’s not, you’re doing something wrong.

Can you show a post from me saying I’m a victim? I’m against pathfinder but have said many times I will complete the achievement to earn PF

Homie, you’ve been making this entire thread about you and then asking leading questions about why people want to take stuff away from you / make the game harder for you when in reality no one has said anything of the sort.

Just scroll up lmao.

No. Not sure what you’re laughing about. You correctly noted that there was only one flight mode then. And then you added one more and came up with ‘two’. Very good so far.

Now follow along. Just because someone finds one thing to be more accessible than another thing does not make that one thing an accessibility option by design. Hopefully you’re getting this. Ion recognizing that some people consider one option more accessible than another does not equate to him saying “Steady flight is an accessibility option and therefore we will treat it exactly like Dragonriding”.
Sounds like you have an argument with Ion, not me.

It seems you can’t read posts completely. You missed something. Good luck, goodbye.
