People asking for the old flying system just want to

AFK in mid air. There is no other reason why anyone would prefer the old system.

Blizzard should replace it altogether with the dragon riding version.

Make all previous flying mounts compatible and also allow flight form to dragon ride and allow dragon riding in all areas.

No. Not only because TBC Flight is superior for exploration, but because not every mount makes sense to move like that.

You’re in for a surprise if you think Blizzard will ever return to that.

If I get the ability to dragonfly in bird form, I will convoke all over.

Don’t make up crap!

It makes no sense for Gyrocopters to move like that, firstly. Secondly, TBC Flight isn’t the experimental mechanic here, nor is it causing difficulties with the playerbase.

Things change. Change is sometimes for good.
Aversion to adapt to good changes is for stubborn people.

Way to totally gloss over the first point.

And, again, TBC Flight never caused issues with players’ health. It is also infinitely superior for detailed exploration.

I think it’s fine to keep both types of flight but I think old flight fans are in for a surprise if they expect it to get any further changes or enhancements (e.g. speed increases). Assuming that dragonriding isn’t rejected wholesale by the playerbase, old flight is probably going to be frozen as it is for the remaining life of the game. Dragonriding, or really flight 2.0, is where development efforts will be put going forward.

Just admit you just want to AFK mid-farm and at least you will be honest with yourself and everyone.

Better get rid of all forms of stealth then, also if you AFK on a high hill you should be banned immediately

Regular flight WILL be added to DF it is a matter of WHEN and disabled people deserve to play the game just like you do.

“I GOT MINE, you can fly in 6-12 months, then I’ll be ok with you flying in MY game” is not a valid argument to lock an entire segment of the playerbase out of getting to play the expansion.

Old school flying don’t make sense either with various mounts, so you got no argument there.

Change is feared I get it, but it’s not going to stop it from happening.

Hovering is just part of the equation. Again, since you don’t have a time limit or forced momentum, you have infinitely superior control over your mount. Bet camera-philes aren’t thrilled with the mount changes either!

There are no more regular flying mounts anymore, accept it! If you did spend time collecting them, sorry, they are all garbage.

Also, AFK in mid-air; why are you going AFK anywhere and wasting server resources? You should grind all the time… Faster, faster, faster… Don’t think, don’t explore, just spend money and spend time…

It makes more sense that a dragon would be able to hover in place than for a gyrocopter to be unable to maintain altitude without going forward.

I do not not… … not? Not disagree.

Wait… what?

There’s literally no reason both forms of flying can’t coexist. Every zone should have dragon riding and regular flying.

I said what I said.

Because that’s exactly what I did, instead of pointing out the obvious flaw and degree of difference in the two stances.

Hell, dragons hover in Dragonflight all the time.
