Flying in Shadowlands

Ya some people play hello kitty island adventure in easy mode

Most people would think that’s pretty boring

Just like flying over all the danger in a game where it’s already hard to die is also very boring

Flying has been here since BC. By that logic, you’re saying the game died in 2007. Which obviously isn’t true, many people like flying and find it fun.

Flying allows you to skip everything. That’s not even debatable.

What danger? You can pull everything in a zone and not die.

Draenor flying was handled the same way Legion and BfA were.

People lived on somehow.

You won’t be able to fly at the start, just like every other time in recent history. Deal with it or move on.

Skip what exactly? The random trash mobs that give no rep and no reward at all? The Mario style jump puzzles? Lol.

Ya and the devs admitted that flying was a terrible choice that they can’t take back

That’s why they put in pathfinder

That’s why most mmos don’t have flying

It ruins all games, it’s a skip button. A literal teleport

Flying isn’t a skip, it’s a convenience. That’s why people lose their minds when they talk about flying. QoL decisions stacked upon QoL decisions for 15 years have shown that when you take away a shiny (Caverns of Time portal) your players will riot.

They won’t remove flying.

You will get Pathfinder.

Flying absolutely demolishes world PVP and allows mat farming way too efficiently.

It has ruined several things unfortunately.

you don’t have to fly, it’s not a requirement

That is a strawman arguement.

And you get the first year of the expansion without it. Hurrah?

By whose judgement? Who the hell wants to waste time picking the same herb for 15 seconds and getting two failed attempts for your efforts?

What part of it ruins the game don’t you understand

Me not flying doesn’t change anything. Still no wpvp, the world is still empty and dead cause everyone up in the sky going 300 mph

Also I don’t fly when I play retail

Yes. That is our master plan. You found us out. We want to pay for an expansion and a monthly fee to avoid playing the game. That’s obviously why we like flying…

You’re so smart.

By the judgement of understanding how economies work. Flying is partyl to blame for professions becoming useless.

Wpvp? You mean the same wpvp Blizzard literally bribed people to participate in with heroic level raid gear before flying was even available? What a joke. Wpvp is garbage that nobody cares about.

Flying was basically given to us for 8 years during the peak of wow. Don’t even.

Uhh, WPVP was massive in classic on PvP servers.

I wouldn’t expect anything to change around flying come next expansion.
