It’s the ground version of skyriding. I know what skyriding is like. I gave skyriding a chance in DF. I can’t do it. I don’t expect to be able to handle the DRIVE system either. Like it or hate it, it’s simply not going to happen for me.

I feel like that’s a yes, Jim.

[Chainsa-stormrage]

Yesss!! I think this system looks amazing and as a Car enthusiast and a WoW Fan I am SOOO Stoked of the match. Can’t wait.

Unless you’re saying you personally waited until max level for some reason even though you like flying so much that you unsub when you don’t have it available…

Which could be interesting to see given that you needed flying for all cata zones minus Vashj’ir at some point to progress the story.

Hyjal needed flying for the Anivana questline.
Deepholm needed flying to reach the Alliance airship, and to reach places like the Earthen town or Therazanes Throne (first time)
Uldum needed flying to reach certain areas, or to leave them during the Harrison Jones questline. Plus to reach outdoor Siamat during the intro quests.
Twilight Highlands needed flying to reach the Red Dragon town.

And you originally needed to find the entrance of the dungeon before you could queue for it, even for the random dungeon finder. Therefore the only launch dungeons one could find without flying were

Blackrock Caverns
Throne of the Tides
Halls of Origination
Grim Batol
Lost City of Tol’vir (can use the Uldum intro to find it)

So I am curious how Athernon got to level 85 without flying during Cata. Did he just mob grind his way to 85 in areas that they could reach? Assuming of course this was during launch lol.

Then make a new zone ground mount friendly but still allow people to fly - easy solution and everyone’s happy.

Not sure why this seems so outrageous to you.

You get your ground mounts and everyone else can enjoy their flying mounts.

It’s funny that you’re trying to present this ‘just give us the choice’ argument while sidestepping the fact that a zone that’s ‘ground mount friendly’ is still better for flying mounts anyway. You did at least allude to as such here:

@Athernon-faerlina

no flying makes me want to not play the game because my time is being wasted using inefficient methods of travel

In other words, you’re saying that flying is always ‘more efficient’ than ground travel even in conditions supposedly ideal for the latter, so there’s never any real choice. As Athcaelas said, it’s a path of least resistance thing. The best option is the only option.
