Youâd think turn on skyriding and just Zoooom to the next gathering node/world quest would be more gold per hour. Or maybe they are super bad at crashing landing on target.
You might want to read until the end of my post 
I did state that TWW works like Dragonflight did regarding flight. Anywhere else in the game can be toggled and will still be able to be toggled.

Oh geez. Really dude? You want to use me as a scapegoat to make your point in other threads now? Fine then. Here was my response to your post.
I havenât seen any evidence that the reason for this change was to prevent, as you call it, âdegenerate playstyle.â If it was, then I struggle to understand why said playstyle was deliberately left in the game as a toggle when it could have very easily been disabled entirely. All of the communication from Blizzard seems to indicate that the point of this change was to allow players to skyride with their entire mount collection rather than just the handful of mounts introduced in Dragonflight, but it appears to have had a couple of side effects. Whether Blizzard is okay with these side effects or not I couldnât say, but Iâll offer my feedback on them regardless.
It certainly wouldnât be the first time Blizzard has made a change that didnât play well with Druid shapeshifting and got patched up later. They tend to forget about us a lot.
And for what itâs worth, I donât think this is overall a bad change. Enabling skyriding for nearly every mount canât be described as anything other than fantastic. But the change is still fairly new so Iâll provide my feedback describing my experience with it in the meantime. Including my unique experience as a Druid.

I donât know, and I honestly donât care.
If folks are upset about the change and want to whine, sure. Iâm still gonna tell people why the change was made and whether people elect to be ignorent or not at that point I canât do anything about.
But honestly these posts pisses me off because they basically just use disabled people as a rhetorical cudel instead of treating people as people. Safe to say, ableist-rhetoric pisses me off a great deal!

Yup they took players that would stay subbed during content draughts and most left or play a lot less since that fateful Memorial Day weekend during WoD.
Never forget and never forgive.

Are you counting the person who was caught red handed lying about being too disabled to dragonride, while having multiple gold medals on dragonriding courses?
Go try and land on a mountain peak or tree branch with skyriding or fly node to node as you run out of vigor and then get back to me about how superior it is.
Both have their uses, punishing people for swapping serves no purpose other than wasting peoples time and causing irritation.

TBC normal flying is adored by many people which is why it must be protected at all costs. Remove PF requirements as that is full on shenanigans!

Iâd bet money they didnât actually quit over such a minor change.
Or if they did quit, it was over something else, and this is just something they know will get attention if they claim it was the reason.

Like I said we just donât think alike. You see the TBC flying as âdegenerateâ and I do not. I am a farmer. idk how you play the game but for me the truth is YES, my accessibility has been limited by this change and that is my experience.

This. The problem is weâve had a year or so to pick our flight speed simply by landing and changing mount (1.5 second cast, or instant for druid flight form); now itâs a 5 second cast.
Itâs not a huge change, but it feels like an absolutely unnecessary added inconvenience, and thatâs why people are p***ed off.

Wow, this might be more fun than I was thinking.
Is this change account wide, or do we have to do this for each toon?
It was possible to choose before this change. And was less of an effort to make the choice.
It was called a keybind. And it was instant. Not some stupid toggle.
Stop pretending like they added an option here. They just forced players to choose one or the other with a delay for making the choice.

Then I look forward to you providing the blue post saying as such.
Neither skyriding nor legacy flying are considered degenerate on their own nor is the ability to freely toggle between them while grounded. Given that thatâs literally the system we have currently implemented. I think that system is perfectly fine and I continue to use both legacy flight and skyriding in the same way I did before the patch, just with a 5 second channel between them. I donât hotswap flight styles in midair. The only thing Iâm asking for is for the toggle to be mount-by-mount instead of global. (And I would set Flight Form as one of my mounts that used legacy flying.) Given how you canât freely swap mounts in midair, only while grounded, Iâm not sure why you think such a system is significantly more degenerate that what was introduced in the game during yesterdayâs prepatch.
Classes are allowed to have nice things that other classes donât and Flight Form has been one of Druidâs signature nice things since TBC.
I honestly have no idea what youâre trying to say here but the gist seems to be that you donât think disabilities should be used as an argument to justify degenerative play. Which I agree with and if you look very very closely, you will notice I have not mentioned disabilities once either in this thread or the other one. So Iâm not sure why youâre coming at me about it. I would thank you to not put words in my mouth.
