Flying really does ruin WoW

Community General Discussion

Pre-pathfinder proves this,

Classic wow proves this,

I see people in the world again, when flying comes out the world becomes empty.

I fight the alliance in huge wars, no wpvp with flying

people fight together to get to quests, with flying the game becomes solo because you dont need anyone to get anywhere. A ‘mmo’ that is a solo game eye roll

I’m immersed in the world, with flying people just skip every mob, player, and terrain.

Navigating the map actually requires a brain stem, instead of going up and straight.

Classic and pre pathfinder has proven wow is meant to be played from the ground.

That’s why almost all mmos are no flying.

Flying is basically an instant teleport that makes you invincible aka god mode.

And before you say it, no just using ground mounts as everyone else skips the game does not solve anything. ( I don’t ever fly even after .2 patch, most anti flyers dont )

The world is still dead and empty whether I fly or not.

Edit: flag my post all you want pro flyers, it just proves you have no real argument other than you want to skip the game you pay for :joy: you rage play wow and that’s hilarious to normal people

Instead of just saying he’s wrong, start listing the way he’s wrong.

Just going to quote this so people can see it was never an edit and is a fake edit for baiting people as it will inevitably be downvoted.

Ya we seen this terrible pointless make no sense post before.

It’s weird when people say “skip over everything”

I can run past every mob in this game with a ground mount, I can do the same with stealth on a druid/rogue.

So do I get this god mode when I land and have to fight mobs and gather items?

Weird, in every expansion with flying, I have always seen people out in the world leveling, questing w/e

I think people will flag your post based on the fact you’re completely asinine

You could just not train flying if it bothers you that much, or just stick to ground mounts.

That’s not true at all, and you don’t know how I feel about flying (I enjoy it).

I just want to know how his specific points are wrong because even with me enjoying flight, there’s validity in a lot of what he says.

Flight opens a new dimension of game playability which is FUN IMO, but it does come at a compromise and that compromise are a lot of the things he listed.

I think what we all really need is player housing.

We already have player housing, you’re just not using it…

TBC, Wrath and MoP were the best expansions of all time. All of which had content in the overworld, all of which had great zone design and all of which had flying from the start.

You people really need to give up on these low-effort arguments that are dismantled in mere minutes of thinking.

That’s not true, I unlocked the garrison just this past weekend.

It’s not the same though. A garrison is not player housing, sorry not sorry.

We need a permanent housing system that transcends expansions. I want a small spike villa in Ogrimmar and a sunny den retreat by the Path of Torments in the Maw (specifically the section overlooking the Gnome torture).

Garrison is nowhere near player housing, I mean even old school RuneScape has player housing

Nobody who only plays 1-2 hours a day wants to spend any more time than necessary doing things we don’t find enjoyable, and that includes running around on the ground.

Plus the scenery and artwork are freaking epic from the air

Agree 100% and it should be similar to housing in Wildstar.

Also for the clueless people Garrisons weren’t player housing.

That was a sudden change of topic . . .

Other people should not be grounded for the sake of your immersion.

Flight is incredible, and I definitely enjoy the game far more when we have it. People are less likely to be out in the world when there is no flight, and I’ve seen more every time flight gets added in these expansions.

We don’t. I still advocate for real player housing, too. Be something to do in these horrific content droughts.
