Oh some had it. Thing is, forums cater to the vocal minority. You don’t have a lot of people running in here to post that they love things. Like anti LFR threads, it’s always the same people. Or anti pathfinder since it’s the cause of the week. The forums are cyclical with gripes.
Not being able to fly was never a problem until flybabies made it one.
My point is the system is fine, don’t make them ponder how to make it worse.
Get through it on one character, its there forever for the account.
Don’t give them the idea to make it stupid expensive per character basis.
Those 333,333g frog mounts show they don’t care.
Um you do get that once you do it its unlocked right? For all characters? So no multiple times, you do it once you got it done.
Flight licenses have never cost more than the gold you make while leveling. If Blizzard did make it super expensive like everyone said you’d see an uproar just like the “no flying going forwad”.
I just want to see flying not time gated. That’s been my fight for years.
Anti-pathfinders be like:
Pathfinder is part of the game Blizzard doesn’t care how much you cry either accept it or quit.
PF was created out of spite for the dev team getting caught in a bait and switch. Before WoD went live there was flying, after it went live they took flying out. They added PF to get back at us and later told us it was for enjoying the art and slowing down content.
For the person that thinks it can never change because blizzard said the dev team likes it, does not remember the 1,000,000+ changes over the 15 years. There is no universal rule PF must remain or even be part of the SL, employees rotate in and out, change comes with that and hundreds of other ways.
Remember talent trees? Those changed. Remember PF? That can change too.
We’re getting close to the point where more people are saying its fine, incoming new whine thread in…
Edit: HA! As i typed this, Preach's stance on flying and pathfinder
Would you rather have no flying? People can say Pathfinder isn’t a compromise att they want but is is.
I’m referring to having to do the WQ grind thus going through the world multiple times grinding the rep. Once you do that once you’ve ticked off all open world activities for pathfinder part 1 there’s no reason flying shouldn’t unlock right then.
I do not think the Devs are out of touch, however they are insistent on their vision. They know a lot of people do not like Pathfinder (it was booed at Blizzcon) but they also know that most people put up with it rather than quit.
Blizzard’s vision for the game is simply that flying is time-gated appropriately so players do not consume content too quickly. Inside their company, managers are given the goal of keeping people subbed longer, and time-gating of flying is an important part of the solution, as they see it.
Anyway, I personally dislike Pathfinder, but most people seem to put up with it, since they are continuing it in SL. If they were bleeding subs over it, they would be rethinking it for SL, which they really aren’t.
Making it a non-issue.
They’ve already said Pathfinder WILL be in SL so you’re going to have to live with it.
Most people have
No one I know has quit because of Pathfinder they quit because of other things like the massive RNG on gear or additions like LFR
Muffin, I am so sorry that the game playing as it has for years bothers you so much. I bought some cookies, would that make you feel better?
It has been around for three expansions now, if this is game ending for you, show your disdain with your wallet. Stop paying to post how angry you are in the forums. I have stated that I don’t mind pathfinder at all and wish PT2 came out sooner, this isn’t a trigger for me though, I go through the stages of grief and by the time they release it I have generally hit acceptance. It doesn’t bother me to the point of posting in countless threads or even to threaten to quit over it. It’s a minor inconvenience at best.
Correct but the months long timegate nature…it’s one more negative against their already bad design. I mean it’s no surprise to me at least with how successful classic has been in comparison. The only thing I prefer over classic are the Raids and M+…which is why I’m primarily on Retail…but as an entire experience Classic is arguably the superior game.
Why do you have to take it to such a condescending level? I guess it just shows what kind of person you are.
Classic is likely popular atm since retail is in a lul and millions of players never experienced it.
But that’s just my 2 copper.
Also, classic was superior because no flying. End flying and make retail great again
