I don’t know if I’ve been totally clear with how I phrased that. What I tried to say is that with dragonriding speeds and “automatic landing”, it assures that people will spend more time on the ground than before, because they will reach their destination faster and will eventually need to land.

Even better, just make slowly land after a few seconds of hovering. That would be a nice change.
I need target practice for jousting though
AFK in the air? I’ve been playing since the game started and never did that. Maybe some of us want to use the 200 or so mounts we collected.
I mean, I really enjoyed being able to fly up high and look at a zone. Both for the views and to learn the terrain.
Sometimes being able to stop and think about something is nice, too.

Actually, you’ve both made arguments that suggest other people should have options taken away because you don’t like them, and suggested that your way should be the only way. And you’ve been argumentative and dismissive towards other people posting.
This isn’t just “your opinion”.

Nor is anyone deciding the state of the game on if someone is salty they can’t use their old mounts for an expansion
It’s a balance. Sometimes speed is nice, sometimes being able to go slowly, look around yourself and get a feel for how the zone / things are laid out is nice too.
Flying at 900% speed and trying to make a delicate turn to land in a tree is not easy.

Nor do you lol, but doesn’t stop you and your ilk claiming state of the game is bad, or other BS
My argument is that both systems coexisting is redundant. The only real problem with dragonriding is the motion sickness that some people experience using it. It can be worked around the system without having to rely on the old one. Adding an ability to limit the speed or for a few seconds of hovering would fix these issues (like I pointed in several other posts) without compromising the design around dragonriding.
And it is my opinion. I don’t have any power over other people’s thoughts or how the game is designed. You and others are free to disagree with me. I might try to convince you of my point though, that’s also a right I have.

So in other words, you’re trolling.
And think Blizzard should change the game to remove anything that isn’t your personal preference, rather than giving people agency and options.

I don’t know how you reached that conclusion, really.
I should stop trying I think.
By the words you’ve chosen to use in arguments and they way you’ve consistently belittled and put down anyone who has a different opinion from you.

Look around. Lots of NPC dragons cable of hovering in place…
For Exploration purposes, I’d like to see an in place ability to allow me to stop and get my bearings - even if it consumes energy at and accelerated rate.
Utility yes, AFKing, no.
That’s actually what a lot of posters did to me in this thread. But I don’t really get upset over that. If I made you or any other feel that way I’m sorry, it was not what I was trying to do. Might have something to do with english not being my main language.
I’m just trying to justify why I think we shouldn’t have two different flying systems in the game. The real limitations on dragonriding should be worked on for the people who really need it and game design should be the main focus. I really think hovering away from the ground hurts the game design. Developers would need to take it into account when designing zones and etc and that’s why they always delay flying at the beginning of expansions. Dragonriding solves that problem and it enabled flying right out of the gate this time. Hovering away from the game also hurts the immersion and the ‘easy mode gathering’ hurts the game’s economy (mainly because of botting).
Anyway, sorry again if I sounded dismissive, I swear that was never my intention. I do agree that I should have worded the original post in a different way.

I never made up crap about majority or minority in numbers here you did!
Keep on making up crap! You seem to be good at it! Yeah, the state of the game is great less presales than Shadowlands!
You are NOT doing this. You are saying YOU THINK they are redundant and ignoring all of the replies about features other people appreciate about TBC flying because apparently only your opinion is valid.
Then it’s a good thing I’m not the one telling people they’re having fun the wrong way and need to be prevented from ever doing such a thing again.
Trying to do anything in the old world without dragonriding makes me want to tear my eyes out
If you’ve been following the thread you’d know that I did no such thing. I only refrain from repeating myself or I would be here all day.
I commented on motion sickness – I think they should add abilities to make dragonriding easier for people with motion sickness.
Other posters commented about gathering and I agreed – I think it’s fair to have a slightly less efficient gathering to make it harder for bots.
I commented on people wanting to chill while traveling from point A to B - Flight points still exists. I know it’s not the same but it’s close.
I commented on not having access to the older mounts - I think they should add every mount to the new flying system as soon as possible, actually.
I even agreed with two(?) posters about actually maitaining the two systems if they nerfed hovering in the original flying somehow.
However, if you think disagreeing with an argument is being dismissive then alright. For me, being dismissive is just telling someone is wrong about something without telling anything besides that. I tried to justify every point I disagreed in my replies (except when someone replied me in that way – then I replied in the same tone). For me, this is a discussion between different points of view.
And no, I don’t think only my opinion is valid. Like I’ve said several times, neither me or anyone in this thread has the power to decide upon this. I’m only defending my arguments. There are several people defending their arguments on why they think the two systems should coexist and that’s fine. We can talk to each other and try to explain why we think the way we think.
