This is how legends are born!
Hard pass. What are we without the sky?
We already have issues loading in characters and NPCs at the current speeds, why would we want this to be much worse and break immersion even further?
Hard pass on the speed alone.
This, essentially.
Even as little as I played, or could get into Classic, I never really felt the need for flying mounts like I do in the current game.
Thereâs just a whole lot less crap in your way, which some people would argue makes the zones âmore boringâ, but I kind of like the sense of scale older zones have. Big, rolling fields, distant mountains that tower over your headâŠ
⊠I wish Blizzard would take a few keynotes from newer games and give us zones that feel nice and open again. MoP had a pretty decent compromise.
Less a step backwards and full on falling down several flights of stairs. Without flying, the devs would never designed cool flying mounts. No amount of ground speed increase on those can replace or match the feeling of soaring through the skies on a dragon.
Go to Trial of the Crudsader if you want to see Blizzâs attempt at mounted combat. No hypothetical needed, combat mounts where already tried and like warfronts and AP grinds, people hated it. It failed. WoD even tried it again as a Nagrand buff and it was largely ignored.
I feel any form of No Flight should be kept to that pathetically outdated relic of mmoâs: classic wow. Iâve said it before and Iâll say it again: you donât like flight donât buy a flying license or use flying mounts. How dare you try and take away my enjoyment of flight because of your Int debuff.
If there was no flying, it wouldnât bother me.
450% on the ground is too fast though. Iâd rather have slower flying than light speed ground zipping. I maintain the entire issue with flying revolves around its speed.
No, I love my flying thanks. Iâd perma quit and go to FFXIV and ESO if they removed it. They tried to remove flying forever in WoD and met backlash beyond anything ever seen, the sub drop was insane and they gave in.
Did you know they beta tested flying combat mounts? It was a failure due to 360 degrees combat and never saw the light of day.

A few days ago I found a dead tree in Nazmir. I landed on a very âI AM BIRB PERCH!â looking branch on my druid, and just. Perched. Took some screen shots. It was neat and I was amused. That would not have been possible without flying.
Flying isnât always âskipping contentâ (youâd be surprised at how often I do that on the ground).

This would be absolutely bonkers to see. People would be zooming in zones faster than lagging bots.
A trade off for combat mounts by itself is a win in my book.
This was for WotLK right? I remember the Wrath box advertised that but it never came to be. So disappointed.
Oh how much I would love to see the Rat Stallion at 450%
Just let me use my Net-o-Matic 5000 on people flagged for pvp not just warmode.

I think theyâve sold too many flying mounts to deactivate them all and say no more flying. That just wonât happen.
Its too late to remove them, that genie is not going back in the bottle.
Queasy? Some mounts already look pretty stupid running at 100%. I think Iâd have to use something like the Mechagon wheel bike to keep the hopping from side to side from aggravating me.
I would cancel my accounts on the spot.

Why are folks so set on sucking the fun out of this game. Everything is a penalty, time gate, phew phew raiderio you are bad etc. Even the ML folks are mad when they canât stop the lower dps from gaining any gear at all. if you do not like flying use a ground mount. In non pvp content it will not matter much except for yourself. Know this also do not ask for summons either since flying was so against core beliefs.

Because they think they have the right to decide whatâs fun for all based entirely on their backwards ideas of fun.

Iâd quit. With the current state of the game, flying is the only thing setting WoW apart from everyone else these days.
