The Birds and the Bees

[Egeria-hyjal]

Everywhere I go in ZM, I’m constantly in combat with the birds and the bees.

[Thallia-sentinels (Thallia)]

What's the point of the ZM birds?

Are they there to be fun? Because they’re not. They’re just annoying. Are they there to be a challenge? Because they’re not. They’re just annoying. Are they there to be annoying? Congratulations. Well done. What if there were much fewer birds but they’re much more dangerous? That would make them more challenging and, maaaybe, more fun in the avoidance of them. What if there was some sort of mechanic, maybe an item, that let us stun them or drive them off? What if we had a shield or a turbo bo…

I did not predict this destination to a thread with that title. I find myself oddly amused.

[Capital-garona]

They just love you very much, those birds and bees.

[Billytheowl-malganis]

Let me tell ya bout the birds and the bees.
And the flowers and the trees.
And the moon up above.
And a thing called love.

Blizz is just trolling us when it comes to flying, they wanted to get rid of flying, we fought back , so they gave us flight with birds , bees, flying worms etcetera to disrupt flight.

Oh my George Takei

[Battlemaster-stormrage]

I’m more upset there’s no whaleshark

Timeless isle had a whaleshark

Imagine a whaleshark that patrols between the main zone and the raid and if you don’t take flightpath you’re at risk of getting one shot eaten out of nowhere

Players literally asked for this. Stop trying to make devs into the Wicked Witch.

Thats exactly what it is. They simply couldnt help themselves when it came to their passive aggressive hate of us enjoying flying.

I never saw a single person ask for this other than trolls who enjoy making others unhappy.

I never once talked about no flying. What are you even reading?

@Siersha-proudmoore

Please actually do a search and see how it’s been talked about over the years. Once again, here’s one of many conversations and no, it wasn’t a troll.

Just because you for some reason can’t handle mobs in the sky doesn’t mean it’s a troll that others asked for it. I’m one of them. And it was never a troll.

Would you take the Great Worm over Pathfinder?

I personally would. Give me dangerous to fly in zones but let me fly. I’ll take an army of greatworms in every zone, even old content if it means pathfinder is gone. Even now, when I fly in old zones, I move around, I navigate, I swoop close to the ground and between peaks in hills/mountains, shoot under bridges, etc. I LOVE flying in the game. It’s not just a convenience thing, it’s just fun and an enjoyable way to navigate for me. I see more of the world. Putting ‘dangers’ would just make f…

The line in that post that really stands out to me:

“I would wholly welcome it as a compromise to not being able to fly at all.”

It really doesn’t come across as a very enthusiastic request, but rather a misguided attempt to bargain.

( disclaimer, my quote is only the second half a sentence that does start more enthusiastic to the idea … checks if the OP of that thread is still around but finds they haven’t posted for a couple of years )

my necrolord alts have to deal with those undead pterodactyl thingies when collecting their daily anima conductor chest

…this is not where I thought this thread would go.

You raised my hopes

[Evilbadguy-malganis (Evilbadguy)]

You can thank those petty losers who got mad players want flying at Blizzard who 100% added all these hostile mobs in the air out of spite.

[Scuzz-skywall (Scuzz)]

If only there was an in-game playable race dedicated to fumigating the entire world to be rid of such pests… sure we’d get everything else too, but that’s just being thorough. You’re welcome.

[Sasarai-blades-edge]

They love you, OP.
