I am about to agree with him. I have 2 friends left who seriously play this game. My guild stopped raiding at the start of February because too many people had simply decided to move on, due to changes in BFA.
I spent the last 3 years raiding with the same core group. Some came and went, and we realm changed a few times, even changed the guild name, and we did stage a coup to throw out the old GM that one time… The thing is, even having quit the mythic race myself, there was always a friendly smile to come back to. Not anymore though.
The majority of players want anything that makes the game easier for them which includes flying.
I think obtaining flying about 7 - 12 months into an expansion is fair – I mean I’d love everything immediately on one hand but recognize the need to hold it back for a while.
It’s not my “opinion”, it’s a demonstrable fact. Flight is a wholly optional way to perform an incidental aspect of the game. It’s not “important” to the game.
My suggestion has always been to do what I do. Buy new expansion. Play until Pathfinder 1 is all finished up. Quit. Come back in “.2” of whatever expansion it is. Fly and enjoy the game again! And this time I will have even more like Zandalari to play as, no time gated war campaigns, and the azerite armor will be fixed. For me, “.2” patches are where expansion packs really start!
Wrong, it is your opinion. Also, you can’t get every reputation in game without flight so it is not optional for any completionist. Let me know if you ever find any facts about anything.
It isn’t, and I literally explained why. If you disagree, please explain why as well.
And will you people stop with the pseudo “designed for flight” joke that you so desperately cling to? What part of that rep did you get with flight? Hmmm? Heck, how much of it did you get on any mount?
Actually he’s right, I think several reputations in the game require one actually flies to get there. In fact, I think some entire places are not even accessible from the ground.
They require flight to get there. Once there, you get off your mount and kill things like every other thing in WoW. Netherwing having that one quest that had you do the flight race being the exception. In other words, there is nothing in those reps that would have been any different if there was a flight of stairs…
Oh, I thought you were arguing that the game itself was not designed with flying in mind or something. And I was confused. I recall Deepholm and some others where flying was totally needed, but you already agree the game is designed with flying in mind.
I don’t know what that is, if it’s meant to be an insult. unless it’s a valid WoW related question. Surely you would not be mean to someone else for no reason, but whatever the meaning, it’s lost on me.
It’s only a lazy reward because they refuse to implement anything that requires flying. Flying used to unlock more content, now it’s just another reward. I doubt we’ll ever see another Netherwing or Cloud Serpent faction that relies on flying.
It’s looking like we won’t have flying until past 12 months. It all depends on how quickly 8.2 gets onto the PTR and how long it takes to test, then how long it takes to complete BfA Pathfinder Part 2.
If you don’t think it’s that important, then why do you care so much about denying access to flight?
He answered your question, you chose to dodge it. He didn’t dodge anything. You are the person dodging any examples that shoot down your lame arguments. Stop accusing other people of your own actions. It’s childish and wastes everyone’s time.
I mean, this argument right here is completely ridiculous. If they have to redesign the world to take into account no-flying, then that means that the world was designed with flying in mind. Congratulations on tearing your own argument apart.
It’s just more nonsense from someone who’s only here to waste other people’s time.
That’s what subjectivity means. It means that your opinions aren’t worth any more than his are.
What is objectively true is that more people were playing WoW when flight wasn’t an issue. That doesn’t mean that flight is the ONLY reason people have left, but it shouldn’t even be debated how much this development team has messed up something that wasn’t ever an issue until they made it one.
