Are they gonna change the latest expansion name to…
NormalFlight
I think Dragonflight has a nicer ring to it
If Blizzard truly cared about botters, they would have fixed druids so they can’t do all those things in travel form that botters love that they can do. From never having to truly dismount for some gathering, to being able to mount up in the Maw months before everyone else, nope, the mere existence of flight is surely the reason the bulk of botters were druids…
Meanwhile, botters still have 90% of this game in which to make money and fewer competitors in which to do it, but players in the newest 10% of the game think it’s time for a victory lap.
Helicopters … are weird. You control your climb/descent rate with the collective (horizontal stick to your left) and your airspeed with the cyclic stick. It’s opposite of how fixed wing aircraft work, where thrust controls speed.
And autogyros are a different beast entirely. Without power they really do just “glide” in. They literally cannot hover … except in a really stiff headwind. Dragon-style flying would actually be pretty authentic for the engineering Flying Machine, which looks a hell of a lot like an autogyro to my eyes.

You can afk DR as well. Drop from a high point and glide.
Changing the game drastically because of bots is a slippery slope. Ban the bots, not parts of the game.
Bots can figure this out anyway. They figured out a way around automation and spam restrictions.

No more than the people claiming a lot of players hate the system and can’t use it. They don’t have the numbers either but never have to back their claim up…
I have over 500 on my retail account. Ask me how much I care…
Have net-o-matics stopped working or something?
You wished to speak like you know the one “actual issue” with DR - being able to AFK - but there are other issues that people have expressed with it, and you might hear a new one if you were willing to listen.
That it is not your personal concern is of no concern. Nobody is deciding they’re happy with the state of the game because of your lack of concern about something they might find problematic.

I hope so. The new system is better and faster in every way.
So, both flying system can work in game at the same time and everyone is happy. I knew you didn’t have any numbers by the way so speculations don’t work.
Too bad the moderation does not agree with you.
Hello,
This is an automated message from World of Warcraft Forums to let you know that your post was restored.
This post was flagged by the community and a staff member opted to restore it.
You’ve made a lot of assumptions there. I could care less about your troll post existing. I’m just disappointed in all the people who fell for it.
You are the one making assumptions. This is my opinion on the matter. I’ve expressed my views on several posts. I know, it’s a lot of text but it’s there. I’ve even said what I think about how they should handle disabilities with the new system.
If you want to dismiss me as a troll, like several others did, that’s a right you have, but I assure you I’m not.
I think the game and the systems should move on and embrace change. Leaving old things just for the sake of it isn’t how progress works. But I understand, not everyone likes changes. But things still change, whether they like it or not.

It’d be the only reason they despise hover; the fact that they can’t get their inner gank on.
They say that the dragonriding system encourages participation and interaction; yup, whole lotta interaction happening at 900% speed over someone on the ground at a standstill. Unless they’re talking about ambushing from the sky, at which point I ask ‘what changed’?
I assure you, you are.
An honest post would be “I love DR, give it to us in old zones”.
Your post is “Take away the flight other people prefer”.
Easily recognizable difference. I’m still right, you simply lack self reflection to recognize what you’re doing…or you’re lying, and you KNOW you posted it this way just to get rage replies.

It’s very different. With Dragonriding you spend less time in the air since it’s faster, so you’re more connected to the world. This is a goal the dev team wanted to achieve and it’s clear with how they designed dragonriding to be. One of the main issues with grounding players on ground mounts was because of the travel time.
Also, the argument about ganking is a bit weird since we have the option to opt out of warmode nowadays. I even play with warmode off.
The argument about taking screenshots and being safe is also a bit stange, flight paths still exist for that very reason.
Keeping the old flying system is just redundant now.
Totally disagree with you on that I don’t afk hovering in one spot I just like to take my time doing things. I want to survey area before I land and prepare and actually check what I need to do I can’t do that flying at a million miles an hour
Please provide proof along with backup data on this claim.
Thank you.

So their answer to the question of ‘how do we extend travel time’ was supersonic mounts that dwarf any known mount speed? I’m not exactly sure that answer is putting forth the logic you think it does.
Then it impacts you even less that someone’s capable of hovering-in-place. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt there but if you’re strictly PvE, it makes zero sense that you still want to try and kill TBC Flight.
What are you talking about, a Flight Path doesn’t offer near the same level of versatility and precision necessary for photoshoots or filmmaking, are you crazy?

Please add in normal flying but if you’re hovering in the same spot for a minute or longer you gain a debuff that allows dragon riders to knock you off your mount regardless of faction/war mode.
