Everyone flies, or no one does

No more of this pathfinder BS. The biggest issue with it is the discrepancy it creates, especially in warmode, between those who have flying and those who are still grounded.

So when shadowlands comes around, either keep everyone on the ground, or make flying inherent to all.

They could also just take flying out of warmode entirely. Problem solved!

Too late. They have already confirmed Pathfinder.

That would work.

I’m a pvm guy so I hate pathfinder…

If the damn pvp players don’t want to fly just make it impossible to fly in warmode…

Yes that’s how it works, nobody flies first half, everyone flies last half.

Good job pointing out the obvious.

I love my beautiful owl form too much not to have flying! I admit that I will do whatever it takes in Shadowlands to soar majestically through the clouds of the dead lands. :heartpulse:

No more of this gearing BS!!! Either everybody gets 455 iLvl sets or everybody runs naked! The biggest issue with it is the discrepancy it creates, especially in warmode, between those who are ilvl 455 and those who are naked!!111

So when shadowlands comes around, either keep everyone naked, or make Ilvl 455 inherit to all.

This is a great idea.

But everyone has no flying, until flight is enabled, and then everyone has the same ability to earn the requirements to gain flight. If you don’t want to play the portion of the game that helps enable flight, that is a personal choice, but it is available to everyone equally.

I dont get why theyre too unskilled to just take flight into account when making new content. Uh…it CANT be THAT stinking complicated.
Star wars instead of Star trek. Battles happen at the destination rather than 800 times in between…then if you want me to farm that world crap just make it drop something interesting…or have some cool mounts that can drop like one in a million times.
Have opposing factions shoot me down if I cross into their air space. THAT would actually make logical sense than my retarded mount ‘forgetting’ how to fly every time he finds some new land. As i gain rep with these new groups, they stop shooting at me…viola…flight opens up to the whole expansion.
Geezus Crisco…one would think this was frikking brain surgery.

So many BETTER ways to make this game and NOT have to play ridiculous games with a simple mode of travel.

Ah yes, but something can be both equal and dumb at the same time. Every player having to do the same thing to unlock flying is equal. Forcing players to do tons of downright stupid requirements for a major upgrade that based on the past (TBC, Wrath, Cata, and MoP) should be given for a fee of gold (which by the way can be earned from nearly any part of the game, making it available to all types of players) is dumb. So now we know… pathfinder is fair but still dumb.

This ^

The only small chance we have at this point is to maybe possibly change their mind to have only part one or to have part one unlock flying for that phase of content and part two unlock flying for the next patch of content.

Let’s advocate now for something that makes sense with the current situation.

but its absolutely absurd that my mentally defective mount happens to ‘forget’ how to fly every expansion.
A 12 year old kid could make more sense of this crap than college educated game developers can, evidently.

In that case, flying is dumb, it wasn’t in vanilla, why change it?

Things change and grow over time, you’ll be ok.

Yep. I will forever champion separating p1 and p2, but the “get rid of flying” and “get rid of pathfinder” have been off the table for years and I really really really wish people would stop wasting time on it.

Different atmospheric conditions it has to learn to fly in.

That was a quick explanation.

Just wait, theyll make pathfinder for shadowlands require completing (and getting exalted with) every covenant. You’ll have to spend an exorbitant amount of time, money, and effort whether you do it on one character or 4.

This is the real problem here. Not everyone has time for pathfinder, and not everyone unlocks it at an equal pace. The no lifers who play 12+ hours a day will have flying months or years before the average player.

Stop encouraging blizzard with these stupid systems
