I still don't have BFA flying

[Palatina-garrosh]

Topper to this one: my wife’s account has literally nothing beyond BfA purchase. So a level 100 boosted human DK and a boosted 110 druid. Can’t remember what race.

Never get flying until 2-3 expansions later. No sweat off my back…/shrug.

[Varsinax-wyrmrest-accord]

There’s a lot of reasons for this. For one, I keep unsubbing for extended periods of time. Secondly, I can’t seem to stick with a main so I have partial rep on numerous characters because I get bored so fast of each class I play. I’ve never had this problem in any other expansion, I’ve always been the person that plays ONE class and is dedicated, but what I used to love about my favorite classes are gone. So where does that put me now?

It’s really a drag and killing my motivation. Just wanted to vent I guess. Anyone else in the same boat?

You are not alone.

I still don’t have a facebook account.

You can unlock the fox people but can do a simple thing like obtain the pathfinders?

[Gilly-lightnings-blade]

Ok, so maybe you shouldn’t play WoW anymore. It’s Just that simple. You’re obviously burnt out. Go play something else until Shadowlands comes out.

Coming here saying “this game is boring, I hate the classes, I hate the content, I hate this explanation” doesn’t do anything. It’s just whining for whining’s sake.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a break from the game. I dos it in WoD and didn’t come back until Argus was a thing in Legion. It was great.

Go do something else and leave the people who actually like the game alone. Nobodies forcing you to be here.

I hear ya man. I just came back and I’m actually not to far from getting it. I just gotta finish exploring drustvar, grind some rep for 3 factions (I’m at about 75% ish for them all, maxed the rest) and I gotta do the quest lines for Sexond part of the war campaign.
It would probably take me a week of playing or two to do this. But right now I’m really enjoying levelling my alt gnome mage.

I don’t know how to feel about getting it right now. I probably will soon since it’s account wide and it will make levelling alts easier. but I dunno…I liked questing on foot. made me actually appreciate the zones, the mobs, favourite areas and neat little hidden caves or moments. You miss a lot of that with flying over everything all the time.

I got Pathfinder Part 2 within 3 weeks of returning. DIdn’t even try very hard either.

Pathfinder is fine. Get over it.

[Blays-bloodhoof]

How is that even possible? It’s practically handed to you at this point

ACKSHOOALLY. Nah. I have lots of 120s and I don’t have PF2 yet. Probably never will. I hate Nazjatar and Mechagon is a junky pile of crap. I may never fly in this expansion, but I really don’t care. If I focus on it, it’s just a negative feedback loop that I won’t pay a sub for, so I play what I want in Azeroth.

[Fujiko-hyjal]

Getting it eventually with dedication isn’t necessarily the problem. There’s no time limit. One quest a day will still get you there.

I say that, but the real problem is that there is an arbitrary grind at all. Pathfinder requires completion of the story quests in a zone. This is good because they typically have you wander around entire zones on foot first, which is the point of pathfinder in the first place.

The rep grinds though? Just padding for the sake of padding, and this is probably what gets most people just coming back or starting out. Everyone else is flying around at 280% speed laser precision striking world quest mobs while they have to feel like the fat kid trying to keep up screaming “wait for me gais!” on their grounded 100% speed mount.

Exactly what the problem is. If it was just explore zones fully, finish the story, etc and no rep grinds, I would have 0 problem with Pathfinder. Once you get to the rep grind part, the game pretty much just becomes logging in for like an hour every day to make small amounts of progress because you can’t do anything else in the game until you get flying unlocked. It starts to feel like “why even bother?” once you get to that point, I could be playing another game where I can play and make progress for more than an hour and not be stuck at this dead end wall for like a month or so of just rep grinding.
