Remove Flying. It killed the TWW Leveling Experience

Weak willed people like you maybe, some actually play the way that gives them most enjoyment.

100% agreed.

If some players don’t want to do dungeons and raids and rated PvP, they can choose not to do that rather than force a time gate on the entire playerbase so nobody can because some players can’t handle making individual choices.

they sound like a karen to me

Let me rephrase the OP’s message: “Hit me harder, daddy.”

No, ty. Not gonna spend hours running around unscalable mountains back to my grave or to the quest giver. In fact, why won’t Blizz let us complete quests without returning back to the quest giver? Oh–but then the game would have less content. lightbulb

Which I can explore easily by flying around…

Which I can spot from the air while I’m exploring and land to investigate…

Which I can spot from the air and land to investigate…

Which I can reach more easily by… you know, flying…

For you, maybe.

Others, not so much.

OP does not get to have something removed from the game just because they don’t like it.

Also OP is trolling for attention.

3/10 because they’re getting some.

:wave:

How about you worry about YOUR experience and let everyone else worry about theirs? My zooming around doesnt effect how your toon operates in any way, shape, or form. World questing and leveling is a solo type gameplay and should be treated as such, which it is because you sir have options of how you can play.

But that made me and others unhappy. Don’t we count? There is a reason why the vanilla leveling is seen as the best experience in WoW. It had no flying, yet millions absolutely loved the exploration, journey, and the discovery process of it all.

Are you saying the devs and players were all wrong in that gameplay design?

You can do the campaign without flying.

so you don’t wanna willingly set on walking on the ground, you wanna be forced upon it… i get it, you are a masochist!

Then experience it the way you want to and leave others to enjoy what they enjoy. Or are you also forgetting even ground mounts were a luxury in vanilla, so perhaps we should also take your mount(s) from you and your travel forms to keep you in line with most of vanilla. Also lets go back to vanilla style and remove server stability, world quests, dailies, and full 1-max level questing to get you up to max level leaving you to grind for several levels. Oh, and lets also remove most addon functionality, force players to find groups through whatever /2 has to offer, and take away most solo-able content, take away heroic dungeons/m+, but not from all of us, only you because of how much only the old content was good. Or just play vanilla because that’s an option still.

I loved flying through the zones and also took frequent stops while leveling to just enjoy varying heights, sights, and zones. There were a few places in Hammerfall alone that I just sat there staring off into the distance loving how everything looked. And yes, I ran around without a mount every so often just exploring and looking at things from the ground level. I of course main a rogue and so stealthing about and seeing what there is to see is very much what I spend a ton of time doing in game.

In the end people like you are just authoritarians that can’t deal with someone enjoying something you don’t. Let people enjoy what they enjoy and if you don’t like it, don’t join in doing it. You’re not special, you’re not better than anyone else, stop restricting others from what they wish to do as they’re not hurting anyone by flying.

I think you already have you answers… from various people, who can better reply this than I. Also I think this already been address on other post by others, you can look those up too.

There is no need for me to keep feeding you with extra treats. But here a last bone and my last reply:

:palm_up_hand: :bone: :troll:

I don’t sub without flying.
They removed it, and I unsubbed.
They added pathinder, and I only subbed after it was unlockable.

They want my money more than they want to please you, sorry.

I do this. I still run around on foot a lot, take my time, immerse myself and enjoy the journey.

Great summary. You forgot the part where 12 people liked the OP.

Some people like flying from day 1.
Some people don’t.

1/10 for changing my mind. Flying still sucks.

Remove a feature you can simply not use because you don’t like it?

I feel like things like Earthen and regular flying being gated behind the campaign completion did more to screw up the leveling experience than flying did.

The account unlock rewards needed to be spaced out a bit better to keep from incentivizing blasting through the leveling experience as quicky as possible.

Earning flying over and over used to piss me off immensely. To go from a faster gameplay back to snail pace felt punishing. It does feel too easy to get through content at times because we can fly but I don’t have the same time to grind out slow pulls like I used to either. It’s a 20yr old game and most of us that have been playing for a long time really appreciate the ease of life.

You didn’t have to fly, you chose to fly.

This is as easy as you choosing not to fly.

Yeah, but he’d see all of those Lv80s with maxed out professions while he was still 75 with 20 skill and it’d just rustle his jimmies.
