except I said QUITE CLEARLY in my SECOND SENTENCE " I am merely describing my experience of the game." and the topic title is “Flying ruined this game FOR ME”
Learn to read you ignoramus.
minecraft has 2 modes. a normal mode and a creative mode. Sims could have had the same.
Can I play shadowlands in those games? can I continue to follow the adventures of thrall, anduin, etc. ?
How about people stop trying to banish other people just because you don’t share their opinion??
I am not “trying to banish you” there’s no need for such an over reaction, I just said WoW doesn’t need( and honestly can’t) supply you with everything that you want or need in a game. It’s okay to play WoW and OTHER games too.
many people come here and say “you don’t like flying, go play classic” or they tell me to go play another game. that feels like people are trying to banish me.
thing is, I like this game and in some places I like flying. I made it very clear from the start I don’t want to take flying away from anyone, I was only suggesting some option like maybe a shard for no-fly or something.
and then people try to tell me to stop playing this game and play something else. I don’t feel like I deserve that.
Sounds to me that your issue is more about PF and not flying, if you were burnt out by the grind when you finally acquired flying in BFA. Understandable.
Flying greatly improved my gaming experience in BFA though. It makes me mad that we had to wait so long to get to that point. The wait for Part 2 was stupid.
tf did you start playing? if you haven’t played from at least 2008 shut up about flying being bad, you’re bad. World content should be secondary, to instanced, and optional, and flying should be from the start.
Before you say wq’s are optional that’s a load of crap, you didn’t need to do anything to be top of the pvp bracket, and only needed peasant plying to raid. I didn’t even have flying in BC on my 2.1k 2s lock, that also happened to raid BT, just never got kara attuned.
I’d really like to know why you can’t just use a ground mount. You offer up flying/non flying shards but why do we need that? What is preventing you from using a ground mount to enjoy the game on the ground?
Flying is awesome, imo, just as swimming is. To my knowledge, no other MMO had the capability of doing either when Blizz implemented them into the game. We need to go back to the Cata era mind frame and allow flying once you purchase expert flying, period. Ion has taken this game far in the wrong direction.
Nobody is stopping you from playing the game the way you want to. If that is the sort of thing you are into, you have my blessing, go for it.
Doesn’t mean the rest of us thinks the same way. I finished PF for a reason… to unlock flying and to play the way i prefer . I was grounded long enough but i only started to enjoy the game once i had flying unlocked. In fact i spend more time in game after finishing PF than i did before.
It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. I just wish someone that complains about flying could give me an actual reasonable answer on why just using a ground mount isn’t good enough.
Well the first part of your post sounds like your issue isn’t with flying it’s about the core open world gameplay loop. On that regard I agree with you. I hate that WQs are the be all end all of the open world. It’s repetitive and boring. What’s the solution to repetitive and boring? The ability to skip the extreme tedium of it (the travel from WQ to WQ). That doesn’t fix the core problem of it being a boring gameplay loop. Your issue isn’t with flying, it’s with the game design.
Now the last part where you say:
Now you (personally) see a benefit from not flying. You KNOW it’s more fun…FOR YOU. Now I ask: why isn’t it enough to just use a ground mount?
try out classic, its a much better experience for those that don’t like pathfinder/flying, I will never go back to retail with the direction the devs took this game, its pure garbage like “most” of the players that play it.
