Just give us flying already!

Nope. It’s a waste of developement time, and that time could be used to address REAL concerns regarding the game’s health; story, game play, RNG overload, repetitive content (eg: islands).

There are a lot of things that need work before flying should be considered.

Nope, its essentially a flip of a switch. They aren’t going to fix all of the current bugs anyway. They will even introduce more bugs in the next patch.

Core game play issues are not “bugs,” they are how the game has been designed, and in this case, represent issues that need to be addressed. Flying is a convince that bare no purpose beyond avoiding said design… Which is again, the real issue.

You better post all your “core game play issues” in the correct forums so they can be addressed. Flying is a core game play issue for many players and you don’t happen to be one of them.

Yes, I was talking about bugs that do exist in the game.

You’re wrong. And yea, I’ll fight you on it. Flying is only an issue for the vocal minority; a fly-by-night crowd that does not represent any majority in any way shape or form. You want to fly, go play a flight simulator, this is World of Warcraft.

Sorry, you are wrong or Blizzard would have removed it during Draenor like they said they were going to do.

Edit: I won’t forget you are wrong either, thanks!

They made a mistake, and listened to the wrong crowd, the same mistake they made in BfA… Listening to the same crowd, and clearly, it hasn’t paid off.

Flying is a non-issue for most players except for a small percent.

LOL! Obviously you have all the source data to prove your speculations. So, if what you say is true why hasn’t Blizzard removed it in Legion or BFA?

I hope they delay flying as long as possible so we can have more threads crying about
“Where’s the flying”?

You don’t understand. Why would they remove it now? That would just be more work… That would not improve current issues, it would only distract.

As for “speculation”-- I don’t have to, history is on my side here; I merely have to cite sub numbers, and point to changes in game design.

Thanks for a great laugh before I head out!!

It is a flip of a switch it would be simple to “remove”.

All you have is speculation. No sub numbers backup anything you speculated on.

See, now THAT is speculation. They had to re-code a better part of Draenor to allow for flying (remember the waiting period?), and did not have flying programed for Legion until after the Broken Shore was updated.

Wrong again. I’m the ONLY one to have linked sub numbers since I started going with the OP.

NOW, let’s talk about you… You’ve said nothing beyond “I’m right, your wrong” History and the facts point to the contrary of your stance, and your entire argument (if we can call it that) hinges on the SPECULATION (I know you love that word) that it’s all as simple as flipping a switch. Sounds like you get stronger gut feelings than president Trump.

To do this they would have to:

Take every single flight mount of the cash store.

Remove the bee mount as no one wants a bee that cant fly.

Remove any and all flight mounts going forward

Be propared for the backlash when they announce this…and trust me Mr MVP, in a week the servers will be empty, in a month WOW will either cease to be or enter F2P maintenance mode.

I really dont care what they do, as I am more or less done with WOW and on my way out the door, far as I am concerned flight is only one area where they have failed in spectacular fashion.

There are issues they havent addressed in the last three years,. so its a sure bet they wont address them now.

Im guessing they are trying to figure out to implement flying without it ruining warmode.

Remove war mode.

Because in your own speculation, you think it is all the casuals that are causing subs to be lost when that is entirely false. Linking a chart of sub numbers doesn’t prove what the subs are being dropped for.

This is the problem with the audience that Blizzard catered to this expansion.

This is the problem with taking flight and turning it from seven months into a year or longer, then studiously ignoring any and all threads and comments on the matter.

My decision to move on from WOW has been coming for three years, and stems from additional issues Blizzard has not only refused to fix, but has completely ignored.

Flight, my friend, was the proverbial last straw.

No, a chart doesn’t prove anything on it’s own, but linking a chart of sub numbers, and then being able to tie it into events through direct correlation , and then being able to isolate the dependencies when the need arises yields a bit more than mere speculation…

It yields history and facts-- things that are convenient for you to forget when they do not align with your narrative.

to tie it into events through direct correlation ,

Correlation = / = causation and we both know it
