Me and the wifey will just go for a flight sometimes after raid to clear our head and we always seem to notice something new.
Feels good.

Itās not fun but itās faster. Itās like driving my car, I donāt get in and say āOh man this is so much fun!!!ā I say āUse your god damn blinkerā

Well anything that requires my neurons to fire is technically fun.
Old flying was numlock alt tab until I got to my destination and went to do something else, or watch a video. So compared to that, yea itās more fun.

Sometimes Ill just dragonride about. Like for fun. I like to skim low. Bank, weave. The emerald dream has those little curley branch bits, I like to fly through them.
Yeah, dynamic flight is fun. To be honest, it captured and improved upon the feeling of freedom and speed I got from max level flight back when I first got it in The Burning Crusade.

Itās very fun and one of the best new additions to the game in many years. An all-around win for the developers.

Dragon riding is fun until you clip or run into something. I got stuck in a tree a couple of times.

Playing as a druid, I love dragonflying. In those rare instances where static flight makes more sense, Iāve got my travel form on insta-cast, so itās a good combo.

I love it, itās never stopped being fun for me, and having to go back to old flying feels like the difference between a flightpath and RP walking now.

Love DR. So much fun to have an engaging and ability-based method of travel. I love to be able to customize the drake, earn appearances (through dragon racing), and generally have it more an extension of gameplay and less a mode of travel.
I would like to see dragonriding in a dungeon, but only replacing something like the gauntlet portion in Murozondās Rise, where youāre dodging the time orbs and cones. Much more fun if you jumped on your drake and flew an abbreviated challenge course that avoided the sparking orbs, for example. (not a redone Oculus, but more like the second encounter in Amirdrassil)

Yes, absolutely. Itās fun, fast, exhilarating. I fly sometimes just to fly and feel the rush.
Ever have a dream where you are struggling to move, like youāre in neck-deep water? Thatās how static flying feels now, being only marginally useful for landing on a tree branch or something.
And over time, my skills have improved dramatically, with gold medal dragonracing being the norm. Back at launch, I could never get above bronze.

Yes itās fun probably one of the best things added to the game in a long time.

I really enjoy it. It is more actually immersive than 90% of the game.

I donāt know that Iād call it fun, if only because I canāt help but compare it to the GW2 mounts it was inspired from. But I like it a lot more than regular flying, and more than I would if regular flying had just received a flat speed increase.
The animation and momentum is satisfying, and having something to do while flying is always a welcome idea. I like when in games it feels like Iām guiding a real animal, whereas traditional mounts are sort of just static models.
However, I prefer GW2ās system mostly because you can seamlessly transition between the more utility-based skyscale (infinite hovering, more maneuverability) vs. the speed of the griffon (much more situational, but faster and more satisfying to control).
Could it be a lot better? I think so, but itās still a welcome addition to the game for me.

No. My hand control is not good enough for the races but generally it serves it purpose.

It is a method of transportation. I prefer my flight form as i created druids because of it.
If we want to talk about getting around a map, Wow is actually one of the worst. There are other games where I can teleport from point a to b and then fly a mount to the final destination. There are games where you can use personal transporters.

Fel yeah I do! I frequently used to try and mimic realistic flight as best as I could with the old flying mounts, the results were always disappointing but Dragonriding allows me to actually do it for real! Unless Iām in a hurry Iām always swooping around various obstacles, over and under bridges, etc.

As a way to get around while questing or gathering, no, I donāt think itās fun at all. The races are fun, and dragonriding is useful to get across the continent quickly, but I was heartily tired of it being the only option in DF for nearly a year.
Iām bitter about the fact that Ion still has his knickers in a twist about it all, and is still gating regular flight behind max level and whatever main campaign questing needs to be done for TWW. Itās stupid, and he needs to grow up and get over it.
