… It wasn’t abuse. Flight form allowing you to interact with nodes while in midair is literally intended functionality of Flight Form and has been for over a decade. It’s still possible if you enable Legacy Flying today. So if you’re worried about Druids running around in Flight Form harvesting nodes, they’ll still be doing that. They just have to channel for 5 seconds before traveling again. If Blizzard wanted to disable that function of Flight Form then they could have done so at any point in the last 13 years, including yesterday’s prepatch. They have the tools to do so.
We already have that with the current switch style. I just want the choice to be mount-by-mount instead of global. Heck we already have that since not every mount is skyriding-enabled. Only most of them. I can still do exactly what I want to do so long as I do it with specific mounts. But I’d like my mount to be a cosmetic choice rather than a functional one.
