No we are not lucky. They cant get rid of flying. they could try but again, but it would be even worse then before. They are lucky even more people are not throwing a fit. But I would argue that their WQ/PF system HAS cost them a lot of subs.
People need to stop thinking they are lucky, like bliz is doing you a favor. This is just what they could get away with, they felt.
Yes, yes they did. I donât have to spend tens of thousands of gold on getting flying on all my characters. My alts can all fly the instant they hit the expansion, which means they donât have to level on the ground. And two of the Pathfinder achieves have given me mountsâsomething the collector in me loves.
The only thing I detest about Pathfinder is the two-part wait-ten-months-for-part-two garbage. Part one should give flying in initial zones. Part two can award flying in newly opened zones.
Pathfinder IS better than not flying at all. And without Pathfinder, not flying at all is exactly what we would have had in WoD and every expansion since then. Donât kid yourself into imagining otherwise.
F2P games are pretty quick to add requested features, if the suits had not made the dev team eat their original stupid idea, you would be playing that version already.
on the PTR, there is a worm in the air that gives you a debuff reducing your flying speed

Just something you have to push through and get done. I took a month and a half off after 8.2 hit and when I came back, it was sometimes disheartening when everyone else seemed to be flying except me. Some rares were out of reach and quests were slower and harder. But eventually I got it done, got my pathfinder, and now Iâm that guy swooping in on the rares.
I personally do prefer pathfinder because Iâm doing all the stuff for it anyway, and itâs nice not having to spend gold on it.
Wow.
Just when I thought you could not get a dumber idea, they prove me wrong. I guess as long as the aura doesnât impact the raid loggers Ion wonât care.
It wonât impact anyone who doesnât go to those areas either which is probably how I am going to approach this.
This business of waiting 9 months and doing all their crap content for flying and then they do this business annoys the heck out of me.
It should be available for gold after a short delay from when pathfinder allows flying. Even if expensive, that would be better than mindless running along trails to WQs instead of playing actual enjoyable content. Running along a road isnât content after already completing exploration and quests.
You got that money just leveling your character. It was never a time sink unless you wasted too much money leveling.
Oh I can get Pathfinder 1 but I never seem to get part 2. Like in BFA⌠I donât like Nazjatar so Iâm leveling an AR.
Returning player here too. Itâs irritating but not that bad, especially with the anniversary rep buff going on. Iâm jealous of OP and other humans though, since their racial stacks with it.
Might have as well have done it. At least it would have been a honest decision. I doubt with Pathfinder they got a lot of players back that cancelled due to no flying. It just kept those on the verge of cancelling.
This is something that caused me to be selective about how I went about the rep grind, choosing WQs that were easy to get to in Naz, and doing Chests on Mechagon in the early morning. I pretty much skipped the days with the three rares prior to getting some form of flight.
Its not just returning players who hate pathfinder.
A long list of us do.
Blizzard enjoys running paying customers off thoughâŚso dont expect it to change anytime soon
AGreed, but how many games make getting a pathetic mode of travel WORSE instead of better?
None that Ive ever played.
Really like that transmog on your panda. Very nice.
Would rather see it go away, personally. Just because I suffered with a bad system doesnât mean I want to see other people suffer too.
Outstanding. If only more folks were willing to take the âI did it, it sucked and there is no reason you should have to suffer just because I didâ stance this would be a better world.
But it is. You can do it or not. But remember you are no special than those of us that have done it.
I have that stance. My attitude is if Blizzard starts relaxing ANY flying restrictions itâs a step in the right direction.
