You’re playing a video game. You are already choosing to waste your time. :smiley:

the reality is that people have been asking for dragon riding in the old world since dragon riding was given to us at the beginning of dragonflight.

the reason they put it off so long is that they didn’t want to allow us to travel so fast in the old world, so they found a way to compromise and give us dragon riding but reduce its speed.

what next? when war within comes, blizzard gives us dragon riding but now it’s reduced by 50% because “war within content requires people to fly slowly in order to fully enjoy it”?

actually people are allowed to have hobbies… just because i play wow sometimes doesn’t mean that i want my time wasted when i log on…

the fact that i value my time shows that my time is important to me… i enjoy playing wow in my free time and when i log onto the game, i want to play the game, not have blizzard artificially waste my time because they believe it is important that i spend more time on the game.

and i would like to point out that you do play wow as evidenced by the character you posted on.

Sure! I play, but I don’t get bent out of shape over how fast my pixelated mount flies. But hey - you do you. Put your foot down, don’t accept this, and go on strike. I think you’re making a big deal out of nothing, but knock yourself out. Stage a sit-in at Blizz offices if you want .

travelling in old world content should be trivial, it is trivial content.

Its still several times faster than static flying.

Seriously? That extra 3s it takes you to cross old world content is taking you away from your family, and that’s why you’re upset?

Probably because the servers aren’t designed to handle such speeds.

Server stability is always a reason for reducing something that might potentially break said server stability.

really? did you not read through the posts here and view the wowhead article that contains a blue post from blizzard first-hand stating

here is a link to the wowhead article if you are interested

do keep posting here as every extra post count here brings it back to the top and makes it more likely that blizzard will view it.

thanks everyone, have a lovely day.

Not sure what the issue is. Dragonriding or dynamic flight is so damned fast and fun, why are you nitpicking about only moving 85% of the speed. Like seriously is this the hill youre willing to die on regarding dynamic flight. Ok.

it is still reduced speed.

Ok. If they wanted to waste players time. Wouldnt a better way to do that is not implement dynamic flight outside of the dragon isles?

Mount speeds increase base movement speed of 100% by their value, so dragonriding is not 830%, but 930%. The reduced speed is 790% as a result instead of 705 or 805%.

because its wow and we whine about everything

Welcome to ignore. Sarcasm isnt doing you any favors.

Didn’t even notice. Did you often complain for complaints sake?
