I cant wait for flying. Getting tired of getting ganked by undead and elves. But i need warmode on for the bonus and trying to get as mich rep and gold as i can to level up my repuation for 7th legion and for champion of azeroth. The extra gold from warmode on also helps woth the cost of daily living, flasks, tomes, and repair bills.

It takes several hours to finish all my dailies because of all the ganking. It is a very hard life right now for me without flying.

The expa sion being all war themed feels like the hirde has gone 100% more gank mode than before but i am slogging it through hoping it will pay off in the end.

Cheers.

Why you want fly so bad? To farm materials for crappy professions?

Haven't gotten it since Pathfinder was started a few expansions ago, not a big deal, actually enjoying the world.

I don't miss it. I'm also not "without it", there are a virtual crap-ton of places I can fly all day every day if I want to.

I'll be ready for it when it unlocks in BfA, I enjoy exploring the world on the ground and learning the landscape. And I really like a lot of my ground mounts that I tend to ignore when flight is readily available. I'm good without it for a while.
But i need warmode on for the bonus.

No, you don't "need" War Mode on for anything. You want the bonus so you turned it on. The bonus is in no way necessary for anything at all ever.

I'm at the point now where I am thoroughly annoyed we don't have it enabled yet if we already have pathfinder 1 done.

The game feels unfinished and unpolished without it.

It's a frustrating exercise in just creating a needless barrier in front of actually getting to the content you want to do when they make travel to that content slower, and more tedious.

You don't have the freedom to see the world the way we know we'll have eventually from different angles above to really get to enjoy and appreciate how it all looks when we're forced on the ground.

And it's just boring not to have flight.

Boring and increased tedium are not good things for a game that is intended to be entertainment.

We're in the phase of the xpack now where it's just repeated grinding of WQs over and over and over again, unless you are raiding or doing dungeons. There is no reason for flight to be disabled right now if you've already done the pathfinder 1 requirements.

They should immediately unlock flight. And then only require a pathfinder 2 to open flight in later content they put into the game later.

I also don't miss it. I like walking around and looking at things.

Miss it and can't wait till it's back.

I don't really miss it because there's not much to really do out there in the open world other than WQs and those are pretty easy to get to with flight points.

Would I rather ride at 100% on the ground or fly at 310% in the air?

Tough choice

Something you are free to do for as much and as long as you like even if flight is enabled.

I need the extra rep and gold more than you will ever know.

It is hard to explain but for people like me, every little scrap counts.

Even with the constant ganks as i try to run away towards the closest ressurection graveyard as i can so i can get rezd as fast as possible.

It adds up over time. The gold and the rep. All the deaths and walking to my body is the price i pay for extra gold and rep.

I need the champ of azeroth rep specifically so i can get the third bonus on my azerite gear. And i dont mind dying constantly for it because pvp deaths dont give durability loss as far as i know.

Choose not to get it on any expansion ever since pathfinder has been started...I feel that I appreciate the size of the new worlds a lot more...

Actually feels kinda Vanilla-Esque when it comes to feel of the continents that they put out....Flying shrunk everything so I don't do it :)

Hated being on the ground 5 minutes into bfa. Sooner we have flying the better.

I just use my Stirrups and Goblin Gliders.

It would be nice to fly, but I don't urgently need it.

I always miss flying. I miss the old system of reaching max level, then paying gold to fly around. This gated grind to make sure we "experience all of the content" is absurd. I basically played every zone to ding, what more do I need to do? How is repeating world quests endlessly going to make me enjoy the game more or experience more content? I'd have way more fun grappling people from the sky in world PvP, or stalking prey in coordinated air assaults on Horde scum. Flying for me has always made the game more enjoyable.

No. I'd rather they never added flying to warmode. This is despite how rough things are for the alliance in warmode right now. This is because then it would be too easy for people to get away from fights and skip stuff. In fact, I'd rather there not be any flight paths either.

Not flying after max level was the direct result of dwindling subscriptions. They thought forcing players into a drawn out content grind would keep them subbed so they could get their coveted flying. Most people didn't ask for this Pathfinder BS, most people don't want it.

I miss flying. Can't wait til we get it.

Enough said.
