Well now you’ve done it.

I actually feel like the introduction of Dragon Riding provides less reason to increase flight path speed. I’ve complained in the past that certain flight paths definitely take too long, but dragon riding has provided a solution. If I want to get somewhere fast, I use dragon riding along the shortest possible path. If I’m feeling lazy, just not in a rush, want to afk/tab out, or any of the many other reasons for a leisurely flight, I use a flight path.

Can you think of a reason we shouldn’t be able to just teleport to anyplace anytime instantly. Or why we can’t just be max level as soon as we make a new character. Or why we can’t just have max level gear automatically. If you can think of reasons for those than you can think of reasons to have slower travel through the world.

I tend to agree with the OP. The flight path speed should be at least as fast the DF mount. Heck, add a premium flight fee to have the faster speed. Especially for folks who don’t like DF because of the active button spamming required to do it.
You can still take a break when you get on the flight path ride. It doesn’t matter if your flying or sitting when you get back.
It’s like being hot vs being cold. You can always put more clothes on. But you can’t necessarily nor want people taking more clothes off.
Id be ok with that because they want more gold sinks. But FP is fine as is. Alt tab and watch YouTube like a real gamer.
I’d settle for the taxies flying in straight lines.

Is there no room for beauty and wonder in Warcraft anymore?

I think a system that allows people to slow down and smell the roses if they want to but, also allows you to jump in the cab and yell at the driver to punch it would be the ideal solution.

Ah, so no reason to make them faster. Thank you.
Excuse me, am I the one who decided on that name? No.
Or just don’t reply to people you don’t like. Isn’t hard at all.

Not according to GD. But you avg player doesn’t ever visit the forums … much less frequent them. Everyone here thinks that forum posters represent the majority of the playerbase. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Bingo. We’re roughly one percent of the playerbase.
But… Blizz has been known to make decisions based off of this place.

I love the flight paths that go around on a site seeing trip going in directions you literally dont need to go in just to make you look at stuff you dont care to see and really dont want to spend the time seeing anyway, lol
Or just use the Sentinel Hill in Westfall solution. “I need to get there fast.” I’ve never clocked the speed difference between the two options though, but there are two.
This right here. I love dynamic flight, I love hovering with static flight, but distance should matter. The game world feels a lot smaller than it is because we can teleport everywhere. I’m speaking with Mage and engineer privilege of having the ability to teleport to multiple locations on each continent. We need more conventional transportation methods such as boats. I don’t want to eliminate portals, that would be absurd, but having more boat travel points does make the world feel more alive.
I think keeping flight paths staying the speed they are is fine. They’re meant to be a convenience/alternative to Static and Dynamic Flights, they’re not meant to replace them. I mostly use them to go afk or if I’m really stoned, I use it to keep myself focused on where I’m going instead of being easily distracted by things, even tho there have been times I’ve done this, got to the destination, and completely forgot what I was wanting to do there.
I don’t mind the flight time. I use it as AFK time.
