I think this is the best reason to keep static flight at a lower speed. If it were too fast you would lose the precision which is its main advantage.

If I could use DR, I would choose not to. To me it is too fiddly and immersion breaking - basically ram racing in the sky. I did not play WoW because I wanted to play a flight based racing game.
I really believe that if it was the same speed as classic flight, it would die. Who would want to go to that effort without a significant advantage? And now they have made it even more advantageous since dragonriders will never be grounded while classic flight mode users will have to be earn classic flight for each future expansion either by using DR or by walking.
It is the reason I will not be purchasing future retail expansions. I will not be a part of a system that expects me to walk while others fly and expects me to earn what others get for nothing. The sad part is that I do not care if it is faster. You all can have your zoom zoom mounts, just let me fly my way.
Blizzard has made its choice, mine is to walk away.

And going faster negates that.
No. It should not go faster. There are those with vision and neurological disorders where their sight and/or brain cannot process the speeds of dynamic flying.
I even know people who had to quit the game because they couldnât keep the slowest flying, since we are now automatically granted the riding skills.
Absolutely not, leave static flying alone.

Regular flying is like flying a helicopter. You can hover over a spot and move around easily.
Dragon flying is like flying an airplane. You have to keep wind blowing over the wings to keep from stalling.
Our world gets along well with both helicopters and airplanes. This one can as well.

Static flying with all perks is 410% - 420%.
Dynamic flying is anywhere between 850% and 1200%. Usually steady around 930% most of the time.

What perks?
Right now it is 300% or 310 for me, donât remember.
I donât remember it ever being 410.

Guild perk makes it 410%. DK and Pally auras make it 420%.
Deja Character Stats correctly adds together all of the percentages to show you the actual speed percent of your movement.

Reward?..dragonriding is a curse on the game even worse than mythic+. And you are all welcome to it, wouldnât use it if I could.
Also, what exactly did you do to earn dr? Completed one quest? I am expected to complete the entire story campaign on foot in order to earn my flight model. Not going to happen, I will spend my time until my sub ends Feb 29 building out altsâs garrison holiday decorations and playing the new classic mode. Anything but this expansionâs content.
There are other games out there that wonât treat me like last weekâs fish.

i dont understand.
its like 400 for fast flight with a guild bonus of like +10 and another +10 for something on some of my characters.
400+ is about right.

I do not want my regular flying mounts to be as fast as the dragon flying mounts. Their primary advantage for me is precisely their lower speed so I can maneuver in tighter spots, even as slow as 310% speed things can be a bit overly quick to land exactly at the right spot.

Oh. Yeah, not something I was talking about. Perks are meaningless if Iâm not in a guild or a dk/paladin.

You are speaking of perks and being a certain class.
I meant to bring the rest up to that point.
A lot of my alts only have 300 or so.

Your opinion isnât fact, though.
But because people have differing opinions like this is why you have a few versions of Classic. Canât make everyone happy, but at least with four different game modes, thereâs bound to be something to make at least some happy.

ALL of my characters who have fast flight are 400ish or higher.

Would prefer classic flight to remain unchanged thanks. It is a good balance between render speed and reaction time. Also when mounts become too fast, people will be able to reach the edges of the maps which is immersion breaking.

Camera mode isnât flying. Itâs pushing the button forward then dealing with the agony of waiting 5 minutes to reach your destination.
Dynamic Flying rewards you with fast trips but you have to actually play the game, not alt+tab after pressing numlock.

Exactly. I do not want faster classic flight. I just want classic flight to be available when dynamic flight is and at the same level of effort.

Idk Iâm indifferent on that but ground mounts should be at least 250%.
