That’s what the OP always does.
He went from, “REMOVE DRAGONRIDING FROM CONTENT!” to “DRAGONRIDING IS TOO SLOW!!!”
He’s just trolling.

i actually just corrected you when you stated something that was incorrect.
you said that dragon riding was this speed on day one with dracthyr soar, so i corrected you by linking an official statement from a blue post.
Nope. You’re just wailing and gnashing your teeth because it wasn’t by a slightly larger amount than the already massive increase they gave us.
Alpha build =/= Day one of Dragonflight. You’re correcting something incorrectly, what they said was accurate.
Alpha testing is done by an incredibly small number of the player base and is purely testing so any attempt to take anything in an Alpha build as gospel is pointless because almost everything in an Alpha build will change.
Soar is no longer nerfed because it is in line with the other dragonriding abilities. Even in the ‘slower than dragonriding’ state it was still by far the fastest way to travel in the old world short of teleports, assuming you had enough altitude to go as far as you needed and it could easily span a rather long range even before the update.

Actually yes. I just posted what blizzard wrote, I didn’t change their words or alter them in anyway.
try dragonriding in the old world, I flew from gilneas to stormwind on my human paladin after doing the gilneas stuff, the flight was amazing, took mere moments, the speed is scaled great to the size of the world, I cant tell im going slower
You’re still making up some scenario about why they reduced dragon riding in the old world by 15%.
It’s still a massive increase over what we had before and you’re still throwing a tantrum because it’s not a slightly larger increase.
Nope.
This right here is you making up nonsense so you can fuel your victim complex.
Try again when you can stick to the facts instead of being emotionally driven.
This is default setting for GD.

Day One of Dragonflight was when Dragonflight launched, at best could say it was being played partially in the pre-release with early access to Evoker but that was just putting a part of Dragonflight content into Shadowlands, not “playing Dragonflight.”
Alpha testing for Dragonflight was going on during Shadowlands. So no, day one of Dragonflight wasn’t Shadowlands, it was when it launched to be played, not during testing.

Yup, perfectly stated. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Agree 100%
Day one of dragonflight is the first day players started playing dragonflight, which is day one of the alpha.
Have a lovely day

That is the usual standard for blizzard
He’s operating on Steam game logic where games sit in permanent Alpha/Beta status to never fully release, rather than a game that goes through Alpha/Beta phases before a full release.
Also the kind of player that will likely say, “I want Alpha/Beta because I want to play the game early” without realizing that there’s a massive difference between testing and playing.
Once we’re out of the Dragon Isles and it becomes the norm you’ll barely even notice it. It takes 2 minutes to dragonride from Gilneas to Stormwind, it’s honestly not that big a deal
blizzard stated they reduced dragon riding speeds because the old zones are smaller, not because the older zones aren’t capable of handling dragon riding speeds.
They reduced it because of how much smaller the old world zones are compared to DF zones. This has already been explained to you, you just refuse to understand it and want to believe that Blizzard is this big evil corporation for, checks notes, massively speeding up travel in the old world.
If it weren’t that big of a deal why did blizzard go out of their way to purposefully spend extra time and money on slowing down dragon riding?
Look at the size of the two zones. Look at them. Pay attention to how much smaller Elwynn Forest is compared to Azure Span.
Going 15% slower in Elwynn Forest with Dragon Riding is still ridiculously fast. Now stop crying and flailing about because you can’t cross older zones a few seconds faster.

because of the reasons they stated? I don’t think this is the gotcha you think it is
i mean, blizzard stated that they made this change for no reason other than to ensure that players spend more time travelling around the old world.
it’s not really a “gotcha” so much as me just repeating what blizzard has told us.
i genuinely don’t understand… what is the problem with players travelling across azeroth quickly? why are trivially short travel times such a problem for blizzard?
i mean, traversing through the world is trivial content, it would make sense to create a system that “trivialized” the trivial content, right?
