So tell that to the lead designer, those are his words, not mine. 
I figured since you’re his spokesman in this thread, you could get the refutations of his ridiculous reasoning, too.

Someone said ion didn’t want to remove flying, i posted his reasons he doesn’t like flying from 2015.
Take from it what you will.

Also at the same company you have the Hearthstone team. They made the quests easier for players to obtain gold, gave people free cards for a limited time which they’ll cycle, and added a new free mode everyone can play that’s super fun. I don’t like hearthstone ladder because it’s boring but the new mode is very fun.
That’s the point. They listened to players complaints and made it fun.
Over here we got to grind mindless stuff that the devs don’t even like.

that’s the problem, how late in the expansion its released is a massive bite in the analcavity to every subscriber and its very telling that either the Devs or the shareholders/accounts team are so petrified that people won’t want to play the content on alts they prolong the experience so much actively discouraging people from playing alts.

you clearly never ordered the pancakes at Mcdonalds theyre not cooked on a griddle oh no theyre microwaved
No, i said a good, quality meal.
Fast food is rarely fast, and never food.
I’d rather wow be like fine dining than a jack in the box.
on that we agree but that was merely as a comparison of how fast food would be if they were ran using the current Blizzard method for WoW

And i made the comparison of how a decent restaurant would be if general discussion got their way. 
kind of like how the wow team made it easier to make gold
gave players free boosts for each of the last few expansions
gave players free flight
…i really don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish here lol
What memorable moments have I had on the ground outside of combat, for which I can’t fly anyway? Ion, share your drugs! I need some!

I’d be careful if I were you. The last time I made a similar assertion (due to me pointing out the anti-alt way they design the game), I got outright suspended from the forum. Not silenced. Suspended. And no, I had absolutely no priors.

Yeah, because you have some lengthy list of their characters…
get out of here with that nonsense.
That’s because it’s not necessary. There’s no area of the map in WOD, Legion, or BFA that cannot be reached on foot. It may be as annoying as hell to do it via ground mounts, but it can be done.
have to agree with Deathdancer I mean they purposely drag out the requirements to be able to fly only to find out once you reached them its basically a moot point since theres nothing left to actually explore once you get the skill
you go through all the content in order to unlock the ability fly over it which nullifies the reason to use it once earned since the new zones are patched in and you are funneled toward that part of the content and no longer have any use for flight in the content you just earned it in

huh?
you do it once, and now all your alts can fly.
how does that nullify anything?

Nah you really have to go out of your way to get it. Mechagon is an awful place, and unless you have specific essences you need, there’s no reason to go there naturally. You have to force yourself, specifically, to farm garbage rep to fly.

Not to mention…he who shall

Good point but we just don’t know because we’re not there, working at Blizzard.
Another possibility could be that they’re doing double the jobs they had before 800 people were laid off.
I really don’t know but you do make a good point.
He makes a good point with exactly zero facts to back his wild claim up? You’re an easily convinced individual aren’t you?
