The announcement was in May. Plus there were many, like myself, that unsubbed very close to the start of the expansion after hitting level 100, and realizing we couldn’t fly at max level.

You are correct. I got my months mixed up. Thank you.
It wasn’t until September flying was actually added to WoD in patch 6.2.2

With all due respect, what good does it do to have flying at “games end”, leveling at max? Myself, I’d like to have flying shortly after a new xpac or expansion to do the leveling. No?
Did I understand you correctly?
PS, how did you ever come up with that name?

I just mean we should be able to fly right away after hitting the level cap of the current expansion, like we could in TBC, Wrath, and MoP. I wouldn’t mind having it earlier for the leveling process as well similar to Cataclysm. But I keep hearing the game devs want us to “experience the content” first. So with that goal in mind, I think it’s reasonable to not have it while leveling up in the new zones of an expansion.
As for the name, I created this character after getting tired of the Pathfinder grinds to unlock something that I have paid for back in 2007 =)
yep flying is a disaster and should never have been implemented.
I understand. That makes perfect sense.

K?
If its so amazing and popular, they wouldn’t need to offer an incentive to play it lol…
I been playing this game since it went live. And did quite a bit of pvp
Aside from a few instances of and some high farming zones, world pvp is has and will always be dead
Also can’t take you seriously with a char name like that.
If Blizzard tries to take out normal flying and make all flying work like in DF, that’s gonna be another sub hit. I definitely don’t want to lose the ability to fly indefinitely and hover for example, it will make getting around so much more annoying. Who asked for flight to become “arcadey.” This is an mmo, not a arcade game, its fine in DF zone but then trying to possibly force that on the rest of the game world in the future? No.

You know what we also don’t need in 2022? Bad ideas.
It has nothing to do with what you think the game “needs.”
It’s what most of us “want.”
I can agree on this in zones that have the mini PvP game or PvP zones in general. Nazjatar was both PvE and PvP which allowed flying I understand that but, when the PvP event occurred flying was still a thing.
If we get another zone like that, they should turn off flying during the event at least for PvP.
I hard disagree on the notion that the game is more fun without flying. Going around on foot has been frustrating and boring for me and I only started to have fun again in the open world once flying was unlocked. That said there is also an argument to be had that it was due bad zone design and not bad travel design.
I am excited however for the flying revamp however. While I do love flying I can admit that as a mechanic it’s boring and if they could pull of the GW2 mount mechanics it would be a big breath of fresh air that could lead to interesting gameplay options.
is ground mounts FELT face like galloping fast speeds and maybe a form of a “short glide” I would be fine without flying to be honest.
At present ground mount speeds just feel…so underwhelming and slow that yes, flying is a better option because ground mount speed is a poor option.
How did I not mute this thread when it first came out?
you dont have to fly at all no one is making you do it…have fun.
