Suggestion: No Flying Mode

They should turn Nazjatar into a realm and banish you there forever!

There’s already a “no flying” mode. It’s you choosing not to fly.

I’m 90% certain I’m feeding a troll here, but in the annals of bad ideas, this one is right up there with wanting to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

Then you have nothing to worry about, because nobody will activate No Flying Mode.

Flying and the majority of quality of life improvements added to the game over time ruin World of Warcraft for alot of players.

It’s the reason Classic has been so successful.

It remains to be seen how successful classic will be after 14 years… Classic has been around two months and masses of people have stopped playing that already. I don’t think you can consider classic a ‘success’ of the nature you want the current version to repeat anyway.

You already get a huge bonus for not flying. You don’t have to do pathfinder.

It’d be very easy to post a survey here asking if people would prefer modern wow with or without LFG/LFG and flying. There’s no need because he’s correct, there’s a lot of players who don’t like those quality of life changes.

Oh sure, he’s correct, a lot of players don’t like those QoL. But many, many more do like them.

See how easy it is to claim things without evidence?

I would sacrifice flying for better rewards considering there is a finite number of WQs available each day. Flying gets them done faster, but you don’t get more out of it.

[Dinkerton-burning-legion]

Is a ridiculous idea. This game needs to move forward, embrace flying, and add more content with flying in mind.

look at how well the “embrace this change, and move forward” mentality has treated retail WoW. WoW subs spiked 223% when classic released.

Retail has issues with the way the game is treated by developers and the several systems implemented, different difficulties, catchup systems every patch, and worst of all is world quests.

[Kosumi-emerald-dream]

WoW subs spiked 223% when classic released.

I see no data for the sub amount but sure, let’s go with a 223% spike.

How many of those are going to stay more than 2 months?

no point in arguing. Subs spiked, classic is better than WoW for a myriad of reasons. Retail just likes to burn itself. Have fun with it.

Only a single piece of evidence, please. I want data.

Wonder why that would be?..I wonder…

Maybe because flying is much more fun than not flying. Been that way since BC.

I agree, many people do like them, just as many people don’t like them. Seems rather obvious, the evidence for that lies in the plethora of complaints seen over the last 8 years, and then also in the counter-argumentative attitudes of those who do like the changes.

I never claimed that ‘there are more players who dislike the changes than those who do like the changes’, as I’d need hard evidence to be able to back that up, which I haven’t and won’t bother to gather. I’d be an idiot if I said that.

First search. An article that shows the information, and a link to where they got their information

[Drakulous-thrall]

So now prove to me that all those people came back because classic has no flying.

[Lîger-proudmoore]

This is an interesting idea. I like it. I suggest that in no flying mode that there are more hidden chests/treasures and more bonus stuff from exploring.

[Dinkerton-burning-legion]

I dont think you can prove thats why. I think its overall just a better experience for the players. Whats the fun in logging in to do world quests or do another M+.

Nothing like getting your BiS from a titanforged piece of world quest loot that you really worked hard to earn

[Drakulous-thrall]

I do think classic has a MUCH MUCH better reward structure than current wow but I’ll take flying ANY day over classic.

I can’t wait to log on classic to whack a mob for 3 hours just to be able to use a weapon properly.

[Dinkerton-burning-legion]

I can’t wait to log on classic to whack a mob for 3 hours just to be able to use a weapon properly.

at least its 3 hours you can play the game. Hell, make an intellect set to level up weapon skill much faster.

Much better than 15 of my BiS pieces needing to be titanforged, perfect roll.

Most classic players that are above level 50 understand how stats impact their character. Much more in depth

I cant wait to log in and get to max level in 3 hours

[Kosumi-emerald-dream]

idk man most people afk that part of the game.

You know very well this is inaccurate, and are grasping at straws to make your point.
