except when pathfinder comes out in 9.0 come one
Ion was hired as a raid designer, probably due to his work with the old ‘Elitest Jerks’ guild/site. Most raiders would say he was pretty darn good at that. Unfortunately, the Peter Principle decided to make a comeback and he got promoted outside of his skillset and comfort zone. As a result we now have a lawyer running the game, who never really cared for the rest of the game beyond raiding.

You mean a raid designer running the game? I don’t see the point of refering to him as something he hasn’t been in a decade. I also don’t see the problem with someone experienced with the game running it.
Yep, this is the last time I am doing pathfinder.
If the next expansion doesn’t have flying available at expansion release, for free, and for questing, and for leveling–I am going to say goodbye.
Flying is here to stay, so start building expansions based upon it, like you did TBC and Wrath and Cataclysm.

why are you grinding for flying, it’s something that will happen naturally, enjoy the zone while you are grounded.

Yup. I called it quits while doing my WQ today.
Life is short and there are so many other things that I could be doing that is more fun, rewarding, and/or profitable.
Why do I torture myself with chores with that precious time?
Screw flying, I’ll just wait till the next expansion. I’m DONE, blizzard.

He’s a lawyer, who raided in his spare time. Got into raid design, and was good at it. Which explains the focus on raiding the game has now. But the lead for the entire game should be a bit more rounded. This is how companies get themselves in trouble, by promoting people without giving those people the broad experience they need to maximize their chances for success.
Same. Did a couple of the dailies in Naz. Saw the super Mario quest up, and said fruck it lol. Kiss my rear blizz. Not on the right, or left cheek, but right in the middle. Ban away lol. Not like you drove several of my irl friends away from your sucky game when you implemented that fail crz into this game, and your little war on flight starting back in wod, and topped it off by killing pvp, and pve realms with that warmode toggle switch. Been fun chatting with some of you folks on the forums. Good luck to you all. ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")

I think we should have gotten flight after finishing Pathfinder Part 1. There sould only have been one part to start off with.
I understand the developers want us to experience all the initial zones at ground level, but I think we’ve done that hundreds of times already to the point of having familiarity breeding contempt.
Stretching it out to other parts is just pure rigmarole and unnecessary, there’s enough grind and rng in the game already…

Yeah, but the point he’s making isn’t wrong. If people quit, honestly who cares besides Blizzard?

They just need to get rid of the second rep grind and i would be fine with it

True. But if enough people take that advice, and enough people quit then he’s stuck playing with himself. Pun intended lol.

I believe that’s the point. The zones are NOT fun without flying. And most likely they are designed to be that way.
The only time I enjoyed navigating around in new zones (even as a tank so no dazing) was when I had the anti-gravity pack in Mechagon. That alone should speak a lot.

I think what really needs to happen is that those in charge need to realize… World of Warcraft isn’t the only game in town. Elder Scrolls Online is not only free to play but has had a resurgence in activity. Final Fantasy is quite popular and for many players a breath of fresh air. Hell even games like Rift are not only still around but seeing new players who are just feeling tired.
I like Warcraft, I like the lore (mostly), I like the classes (mostly) and I like the racial models (mostly). The ONLY reason I’m still around is I’ve got a deep attachment to those characters I’ve created and their stories. I’m not saying I’ll never come back but I am saying that each time I do I feel less and less interested. Instead of “Oh man I can’t wait to see what kinda loot I get” or “Oh this lil place is PERFECT for RP”. I go “Ok so I gotta get my Naz dailies done, then I gotta get my mecha dailies and ugh more <insert seashell/seaweed/whatever> yeah no… skip”.
I don’t mind pathfinder but I want it availible from day one, none of this 6-7 months part one then a delay for part two.

One can hope they’ll improve it though. Like, if they insist on reputation being part of it, make more things give more rep.
How is that possible? I thought they weren’t going to “unlock” flying in BfA until August?
If they did this I wouldn’t buy the game until it was announced and if it takes a year for flying in 9.0 I’ll probably have a new game and not give two hoots about wow. I believe many are in this same boat, once we’re invested in a new title wow is gonna have to have a bombshell expansion to draw any of us back.
August is Classic Launch month. Pathfinder 2 was released with 8.2

I fully agree. If they want no flying in later zones, part 2 can give flying in those zones. But we should have been flying in the main zones no less than six months ago.
