they tried and it bit them in the backside hard
people that hate flight are the minority or even after all these years do they still want us to believe that the reason Blizzard back peddled so quickly on the WoD no flight decision was because the company changed their minds and it wasn’t about losing money?
Yes, in fact the Blizzard shills have been pushing that fake narrative pretty hard since Blizzcon.
So long as those of us who were here in May 2015 remember and can correct the fake narrative, it won’t succeed.
This makes me think they’re going to pull some player flight-related shizz in SL.
Given the removal of 60 levels, I have questioned whether all of the 50 toons I have that can fly, will be able to in SL.
If the answer to that is “no” or if there are any material changes to flight availability, speeds, etc, I think many players will be quite unhappy.
I’m not buying SL, I may never.
oh believe me Watcher is still feeling the sting from the polygon interview and as long as this war on flight continues we will make sure he doesn’t forget
NTM he practically got "booed’ off the stage at Blizzcon when he announced that Pathfinger would be inflicted on Shadow Lands.
These are Blizzard’s biggest fans, booing the game director.
Political tone deafness is one thing; but the arrogant smugnorance evidenced by the continued deployment of this deeply unpopular, arbitrary ransoming of player flight, speaks volumes.
I unlocked flying for BFA on 07/07/2019.
Here is the problem.
If players can choose to level from 10-50 in any expansion why would a returning player choose to slog 10-50 in WoD, Legion or BFA content without flying?
So I anticipate that Blizz has painting themselves in a corner with patchfinder and they will break something in the process. It is part of their M.O. at this point.
pride is one thing but yes that’s just downright ego and hubris when you’ve actually achieved the point to where the most dedicated of fans are now denouncing you and yet you still act like nothing is wrong
its his kind of attitude and arrogance that is killing WoW and the whole thing is dangerous for long term health of the game Blizzard needs to cut him loose before his megalomaniacal thinking runs WoW the rest of the way into the ground or is that truly their intent so they can use it as an excuse to finally sunset the game and then say the players inflexibility is why WoW is finally failing?
They might inflict Pathfinger on older expansions. And no, I wouldn’t put it past them.
You are aware that the shills have been pushing the false narrative that players didn’t cause the “noflightever” reversal? My guess is, they’re up to no good with player controlled flight in SL.
With the world leveling revamp they might remove pathfinder from old xpacs all together. Time will tell though. Also calling people shills can net you a ban. Be careful.
I haven’t called anyone a shill. I merely note the fact that the forum has been frequented by shills, particularly with regard to the player flight issue. Which, btw was not an issue until Blizzard made it one.
The timing of the narrative that player feedback and quitting didn’t impact the no flying forever reversal is alarming. It suggests to me that something is brewing and it is no good.
If they do a level squish I do not see how PF survives as it is given it runs directly against the streamlined approach shadowlands is promoting. IF there is an attempt to keep PF intact by nerfing flying in BC, WotLK, Cata and MoP then it will be a major schism within the player base. It was never an issue until it was made into one by the devs IMVHO.
Yes, I just said that. 
LOL you should just quote me.
They wont do do pathfinder for old content… That would be suicide.
You are correct overall and on point.
I think Blizz has created a situation where they haven’t planned out how this comes together and how it impacts how players obtain flight for previous and new expansions.
The fact that devs don’t know how flight will be handled with the disconnected zones in shadowlands indicates major hesitation on how to move forward.
well you notice the one thing they hadn’t touched on with the level squish coming in SL is will there be an alteration or mod made to the older pathfinder model since after all EVERY expansion content will be the same level except SL so how do we know they arent planning to reset the progression of PF for those that had already achieved it?
basically forcing everyone to start it all over despite which expansion zone you choose to play in? say you wanna run MoP content well youll need golden lotus rep etc or for BC start churing out that netherwing egg farming for rep
im telling you right now Blizzard is up to something and I guarantee you pathfinder is about to become 10000x worse than it has been than ever before
Oh I think they know exactly how they’re going to move forward. They just won’t release any candid information about it. Remember the Polygon interview.
Be prepared for Polygon II.
Well account bound items are not safe with current WoW direction so nothing surprises me anymore.
Let’s hope you’re right but I wouldn’t put it past them at all.
What account bound items aren’t safe?
(Lol no answer)
