Yes, which means you are literally skipping everything between point A and point B.
Travel is not gameplay. Those useless mobs that drop grey garbage and are there to only slow us down are not gameplay.
When those mobs start dropping:
Craft mats
Minerals
Gear
BOE’s
Tokens.
usable items.
let me know.
We had flight at seven months in Legion
Max level flight in
Pandaria
Cata
WOTLK
BC
…and no one was “skipping content” then either.
Flight is not an issue in FF14 and never will be, because they DESIGN ENGAGING CONTENT around flight and create massive vistas and scenery. They design content that requires or incorporates flight.
So I very much doubt they will regret adding flight in at any time in the next ten years.
New expac due in June, Shadowbringers. You will be able to fly there as well, after unlocking it. And no, there is no mandatory 12 month wait period after you have done it all to be able to fly.
They have their own Pathfinder, I grant you…but no one year timegate attached.
So if they can do it…why cant Blizzard?
Pathfinder 1 should have allowed us to fly once completed.
Or add flight in 8.1.5.
My issue isnt with Pathfinder…its with me sitting for TWELVE SOLID MONTHS waiting for part 2 content which will, I am certain, include at least three new rep grinds which will take a minimum of four weeks to do.
8.1.5 isnt off PTR.
Best guess for drop is either start or end March. Maybe mid March.
8.2, unless there is a huge change in patch content timing, will be a minimum of three months away, including at least four weeks on PTR.
End March - April - May - June with 8.2 probs launch end June *(unless delayed) or start July, add the time to take for the content and rep grinds and we STILL end up in August 2019.
Even at a conservative estimate, thats still eleven months since launch until we fly.
For me, thats excessive. I wouid have had no issue with P2 had it been according to the Legion timetable. Or 8.1.5 after a six month wait. Tharts reasonable.
But it isnt.
So thats why I am leaving, Kirela. Thats not a “tantrum”, this is an adult stating exactly WHY he is dissatisfied with the way flight has been handled. Thats my prerogative.
You do as you wish.
