People seriously need to stop using the term “forced to”. They aren’t forcing you to do anything. They having you put in effort to get something you really want. Also, most people if they had the chance would skip as much content they could with flying. Which is one of the main reasons why they added pathfinder because they are tired of people skipping content that they spent tons of time on for US. They said it themselves and guess what? They obviously know more what people do in the game than you do since they have all the data.
I swear. This generation of gamers is horrible. Why do you guys even play WoW when all you guys want is everything handed to you and want it doing little to no work? You guys want flying auto unlocked via gold right when you hit max level or before. You want no rep grinds but all the perks of them. You want no gating so you can rush though the content and then sit there in a couple of weeks and complain you have nothing to do now. You want no rng. You want tough content to be easy ie: visions especially multiple masks. You want BiS gear to rain from the skies. You want to get tokens from bosses so YOU can pick the gear you want therefore making the raids worthless in weeks.
So sad.
