I’ve earned the reputations, done the zone quests, the world quests, the campaign, and earned every inch off the ground that I’m now flying with Pathfinder. So why is the Aerial Enforcer in Mechagon still shooting me down? I know that it waits for 10 stacks of the debuff, but I’m confused about why this mob is still active. Do we need this still?

Seriously? I thought that was just for people who didn’t have flying yet. Jesus, that’s a mega troll.

So…you’re saying that the Aerial Enforcer should only bother those who can’t fly? Sound like the exact reason why this machine was created.

Just because you fly on a mount now, why should you not still get shot out the sky by a robot that’s job is to shoot flying things out the sky??
Stop crying just to hear yourself cry

Yes. Far too often, flyers perform illegal maneuvers that endanger both themselves and others in the air. The Aerial Enforcers only flag those individuals who are flying improperly, and will only begin firing after ten (ten!) successive warnings. My advice would be to slow down and obey all aerial laws while flying in Mechagon.

I don’t think it should be used at all. It’s already true that people who don’t have Pathfinder can’t fly for very long because the temporary jetpacks have a time limit. We don’t need an NPC to add another layer to restriction. So when they do get the achievement, why not have free reign to do things like AFK in flight?

To be honest, it’s just a raid boss farming recognition points.

So, this was put into the game since ground mounts were a thing. This is like an enhanced version of the dazed mechanic. It was implemented to make the world feel dangerous and alive.

I actually like it, it makes flying actually dangerous and not just “i can skip everything like it was nothing”

The island is small and the rares are packed.
Blizzard simply does not want anyone idle waiting mid-air.

It is an environmental awareness mob, like the Fel Reaver.

Aerial Enforcers parroling and enforcing air laws? Sounds like it working as intended OP.

That’s it’s job. I don’t know how you’re getting 10 stacks unless you’re hovering afk…and if you are, then getting shot down is what’s going to happen.
I see the alert and I dive briefly, lose the targeting and go on about my business. Frankly, more mechanics like that would actually add a little spice to flying. I support it.

Exactly, and I like the way it’s working.

Be lucky flying is allowed in end game content.
You are supposed to be encouraged to use the anti gravity pack instead, which is far more efficient when it comes to getting away from those machines.

I don’t think the game would be fun if it were too easy. We must have challenges, there must be risks.
I was playing my Warrior, level 35, in Hinterlands last night. Doing the Jintha Alor quests. First two quests are at the bottom tier of the pyramid, second two in the middle, next two near the top, and so on.
What this means is that after every quest I run to the bottom, hand in quests, get next quests, run back. Fight my way to the area I need to be.
By the time I was at the last series of quests I was fighting my way to the top through a heavy population of very high aggro Trolls.
I couldn’t help thinking that the design of the quests and map, were they implemented in BfA, would cause an outrage on the Forums, and people would demand Blizz change them, or threaten to quit.
Once we accepted the game as it was, now we feel we can scream and cry and rant and expect the game to be tailored to our personal wishes and needs.
There has to be danger, we have to be threatened, motivated, or we’d get bored and leave.

I noticed since I got flying as soon as I mount any mount that can fly the stupid Aerial Enforcers yell out to target me before I even lift off the ground.

If you keep flying thy give up fairly quickly.

In legion we should have had fel bats that ripped you off your mount if you tried to fly without pathfinder. Once we kicked the demons out and headed to Argus this obviously would have cleared the skies.
This is why we can’t have nice things, I support the aerial enforcer because it is a return to the TBC and WotLK days where flying actually added content to the game.
Immersion… what makes more sense… a demon invasion where fel bats are ripping you off your mount? Or your world saving hero forgetting how to fly every 2 years?
