I don’t think it’s possible to determine what anyone enjoys. I think it’s only possible to determine what people participate in.
Naturally, when everyone participates in Dragon Riding, that looks like a popular activity people enjoy. Nevermind how it actually is. No one is being pleased, people are finding their own enjoyment in whatever activity blizzard hasn’t forced them to reorient themselves to, recently.
And that’s as deep as this swimming pool goes.
I said it, earlier:
Saying “hello, how are you?” it’s just surface level of socializing. I don’t think people doing this are doing it because they want to. They’re doing it because it’s expected.
True respect is not something to be expected. It’s when somebody goes above and beyond because they want to, not because they have to.
It is so weird that the idea of letting people choose how they want to play somehow takes away from the majority preferring DF. They have nothing to do with each other.
It’s not like people are pushing for DF to disappear and only have SF. If they are that sucks and I am against it. I just see people wanting options because for some DF literally isn’t an option…and there doesn’t appear to be a downside for anyone other than yourself losing fun and speed for going SF.
It’s really weird to me that anyone has an issue with it. Who cares?
And that’s precisely why it can’t be ‘earned.’ Saying respect must be earned, is a demand in and of itself. It’s an unspecific demand of a 3rd party to engage in some manner of ‘earning’ respect.
You wish to isolate on that part of respect, and distinguish it from other respect having a deeper meaning?
I think I understand, but I’d imagine we’d have to ignore opportunities to give respect to arrive there.
Three weeks until launch.
Most players don’t care about a flight button most will use once or twice nor do they care about Pathfinder. 10 years now.
TWW is almost here and most of this will vanish 
It’s not a wish. It’s reality.
When, I say “hello, how are you”, I’m doing it for my own benefit. To not be the social outcast of the group but still have some sort of social standing, since it’s an expectation.
No, you can still respect someone who may not have properly followed social protocol, beforehand.
I mean, I can’t disagree with what you say you do, if it works, I support you!
You mean… just give respect?
I think, in general, earing respect is easy, just from a personal stance, “earning” mine is just treating me with respect, or the secular version of the Golden rule, which comes out to be: Treat others with the respect you want to be treated with.
So much said with so few words! It’s sounding to me like people earn your respect after they just give respect?
No, my version of respect can still be given to those who didn’t follow the proper social protocol, in what you call “respect”.
More or less, let me just adjust that, they earn my respect after the just give respect to me
TBC normal flying is one of the successful evergreen features ever put in the game. Which is odd how BlizZard are treating all their evergreen features like talent system and DR from DF. It feels like a slide backwards where you take one step forward one expansion and then three steps back in the following.
This inconsistency is where doubt starts to set in in terms of design paradigms and directional game play flow.
Fair enough.
It made more sense to me the way you put it before. I am not sure what’s tripping me up here.
Really?
Is it impossible to play on the ground while leveling, like we have done in every expansion with the exception of cataclysm? It is only “impossible” if you assume that you either use dragonriding or not play at all. And again, I think they should gate dynamic flying behind the campaign, just as they do for steady flying.
Regarding the rest, I get that you want to steady fly from minute 1, and would find that “more fun”. That’s great. I’m sure we can come up with a thousand other things where someone might say, “if you made x change the game is more fun”. Players will always want to eliminate any friction. At some point blizzard has to design a game, and that includes limitations.
But based on what Blizzard said, they want you to be engaged with the game world at least for the first time you level in the campaign. You might find it fun to fly over everything and make things supper efficient with zero hurdles, but that goes against their stated design philosophy.
Why do you keep asking these loaded binary questions? I think they should lock both flight forms behind the campaign, because that’s fair, and they seem to value players being engaged with the game world, rather than hovering in place and landing in the best spots only. I agree with Blizzard on that. I’m not interested in what you define as “fun mode” and “not fun mode”.
This has been a time. I’m going to bed.
Pathfinder, the majority don’t care by the lack of complaints and feedback.
The 5 second cast however, it would be safe to assume the majorty want that at the very least reduced. But that topic has had way more posts and feedback.
Especially the first week of prepatch.
You are half right. The majorty just don’t care about pathfinder. Especially after they removed a majorty of the requirements and the timegating.
Based on posts alone, I’d say it is a resounding yes that the majority want the timer removed or reduced.
You’re the top poster in this thread btw
Or to correct you posting wrong information.
Spreading disinformation does the forums and new viewers a disservice. And you can’t let the thread die.
Stop posting and watch what happens here.
As of this post, someone else has them beat by 2!
Don’t Look…
I’d send Blizzard $100 to lock and delete this topic all together.
At least I’m responding to people and/or making coherent posts.
