Thanks for the update but it’s glaringly obvious that the entire thing is designed to keep people busy doing old content over and over again.

It’s not fun.

Games should be fun.

Whoever makes these plans should know that.

*Update… they listened!

Why make old flying something that has to be unlocked at all instead of just enabling it?

I can understand wanting people to experience dragonriding, it’s great, and most of us have utilized it by this point, so why not just flick optional old riding on?

Well nothing changed. Though you do get it if you just played the content. It’s just time metrics at this point. Should just unlock it to begin with.

Dragon riding is the main mode of transportation. what harm is it unlocking old school flight for those who have problems with it

I see nothing really changed here.

It looks like they removed the requirement for the Emerald Dream storyline, unless that was never there. REGARDLESS this should not be a thing.

Pathfinder should be retired permanently

That’s a lot of stuff to do for traditional flying while dragonriding was just handed out. Weird.

Players providing feedback since Sept 18th :

Devs and CMs ignoring this kind of post and then proceeding with the same path, instead of addressing at least those concerns.

Pathfinder could be a good reward for a new mount instead of extra steps in order to unlock traditional flying.

Players with blind accessability waiting for this:

then Blizzard ask for a lot of extra steps, I know most of regular players will have this requirements but returning / new players…

Thanks Cyrios for your post. Feedback has been provided for months…

Cool beans. I’d much rather just play the game and earn flying than pay what would be an exorbitant amount of gold (thanks inflation!) for it.

So we’ve been skipping content, skipping mobs with dragon riding this entire xpac plus we’ve explored almost every inch of the zones collecting glyphs but to fly slower we have to do this laundry list of chores for “reasons?”

Good job, Blizz. This definitely isn’t one of the derpier things you have done :roll_eyes:

Nm you guys are cool and totally not derpy.

hello mr. Blue, this other poster pretty much summed up my thoughts on the whole “Pathfinder” thing in a different thread. See the attached quote:

Inflation for buying flying is a completely made up thing by defenders of Pathfinder. The price of flying went down from BC to Wotlk, then again Wotlk to Cata. MoP cost was the same as BC. It can be anything Blizz wants it to be, and was never that expensive.
