I enjoy not flying until the X.2 of the patch like in Legion, I get to explore the world it seems larger, and by the time X.2 roles out when I'm leveling more alts I can just fly by the boring stuff where I have already seen everything for the 10th+ time leveling characters to 120.
Fyi I already have 8 120's....
You say that like it precludes you from doing so when flying is implemented. That's not how that works.

Nice try though.
Where did I say you were playing?

Seeya next week!
You're repeating the sarcastic "you're not really quitting" meme. I was just pointing out how crazy that is when I haven't played for months. So, no I won't be back next week, unless pathfinder time gate is removed.

Pathfinder still exists for WoD so itâs gonna be a long time before pathfinder is eliminated for BFA..

what makes you think the folks who prefer flying are a minority, vocal or otherwise? It seems the mass unsubbing when it was announced that there'd be no flying in WoD indicates the opposite.
Oh, I must have missed the report that stated X number of players unsubbed because of flying. Are you going to invent facts now for your argument?
I don't need to invent facts. It happened. It wasn't a coincidence.
It's a matter of record that even I am aware of, despite having left the game at the end of MoP, that trying to remove flying wholesale caused such an enormous backlash that they had to renege on that intended path nearly immediately.
^This is what I was referring to. Pathfinder was Blizzard's solution to bring back flying in some form because so many folks unsubbed when it was announced that there'd be no flying at all. Blizzard doesn't want us flying; the fact that we can eventually is only because without it, there'd be not enough people left playing to sustain the game.
but frankly what would it add to the game that makes it better?
Fun. Efficiency. Some sense of character progression in the sense that there's something that can be attained at max level.

Proposal:
War Mode players will be permanently grounded but they now get an exorbitant farming & reward bonus so that they are more efficient than flyers.
I'm fine with the first part, but not the second. "Exorbitant farming and reward bonus"? Because you want your cake and to eat it too? Own your decisions. If you'd rather stay grounded, then do so and accept the consequences of that decision. It seems to me slightly decreased efficiency in gathering resources is a small price to pay to be able to play the way you find most enjoyable.

Since WPvP is now exclusively phased, Blizzard could disable flight.
Another option, is take one of the many empty servers and make it no flight only. Offer free transfers ON to that server. If you ever want off you can pay $$ to Blizzard for that service.
I say give the no-fliers what they want.
Give us fliers what we want.
Everyone happy.
I like all of these ideas! *thumbs up*

No, your analogy is wrong. I don't care if you state your opinion is not subject to debate, you're just wrong. It's like having a single engine pilot's license and getting mad that you can't fly a F-22 Raptor.
Zuldazar and Kul'tiras have their own government. Your "federal pilot's license" doesn't cover other countries.
You need a separate licence for different types of crafts and I am quite correct in my analogy, you are the one who missed the point, but thats ok, you tried...
You need a separate *license for different areas of WoW's world. You're not flying to another state, you're in a different country. That's why we had to repurchase flying licenses with every xpac when we could fly. We don't have to buy those licenses for alts now with Pathfinder. Got it now?
1st... There are plenty of "customers" who are just fine with waiting a few months for flight to unlock.
lol didn't realize 19 was "a few" (that's how long it took in Legion for those with short memories).

Well... that's a lie. It was 7 months.
No. It was 19 months from launch before we got flying unlocked. Don't know what point you're referencing, but it's not a lie.

Good for you, since you have alts. But for *new players*, this is a game killer.
I have had THREE new player friends I played with either complain about being able to fly then suddenly not able to once they hit WoD, and either quit shortly thereafter or just never touch the content ever again. Pathfinder is short-sighted, and not healthy for the long-term game, because this game needs new players.
Turn Pathfinder for old xpacs into a Feat of Strength, and just allow flying in those zones. Period.

ive never really understood why the people that are constantly begging for flying to be added into the expansion early are also the ones who do the least amount of content.

I've done over 10k world quests, and 10k daily quests on this character a long time ago. How much flying do you do in raids and dungeons?

That's not the question, though. You made a statement about people favoring flying sooner rather than later doing the least amount of content. I, too, would like to know the content to which you refer.
Speaking just for myself, flying isn't about need; it's about want, and wanting to play in a way that I find most fun. Also, as someone who doesn't do dungeons, raids or pvp, world quests are far from worthless to me. They're my primary method of gearing outside of warfronts. Additionally, my main is a tailor/enchanter and WQs that award gear are a very good way to get crafting materials.

Besides, by the the time flying is released the new content will likely be "no fly" anyways.
Such blatant disregard for customer satisfaction and experience would never 'fly' in
the real workplace world. And the hubris demonstrated by developers who seem to not care in the least what their community thinks astounds me.
Because there was this big war in WoD and many flyers died so now they are rare and endangered and Blizzard needs to carefully collect flyers as to not kill off any more lest there be greater repercussions then the first time.

That's because we like being in the world. We're not asking for flying in raids/dungeons/instanced pvp. So the people that don't care about flying are the ones that are always in the content where you're not flying anyway. The people that want flying are the ones that enjoy doing their own thing....imagine that.

Spewing hate? Thatâs a good one. I just donât want the herb/gem market to crash because of flying. Since you only do world quests I wouldnât expect you to understand
