Traditional flying is coming Tuesday

I prefer…love…DRing, even for farming nodes, but very happy that its coming so others can have it.
Tired of the juvenile games with flight in this game, though.
Not saying I’ll quit over it, but Ion and crew certainly have this rare talent of being able to take a positive and trash it into such a horrible negative.

Thats because old flight wasnt Ions baby. DRing is. which is why DRing was thrown at us in an hour of release.

Pretty much its just to complete the main storyline in each zone and explore every zone.

None.

With the next expansion it will be hitting max level because even though the player backlash was great, they are still going to treat people that do not want their garbage action MMO flying like second class citizens by making dragon flying free on day 1.

So, progress, but progress that is forced. Thankfully WoW is not insanely popular anymore and thus they literally cannot afford to ignore players completely anymore and need to appease us for the sake of their paychecks.

Yeah the fight is far from over to liberate TBC flying but we are getting there. We all knew it would be a long, muddy slog but that is why we will prevail. That is because we have momentum while the anti flying crowd has basically zilch at this point.

That Pathfinder is no longer required to unlock flying.

Edited to add the word that to the front of the post because reputation is no longer apart of pathfinder.

Dragon riding was more fun last time I played, so probably not gonna use traditional flying.

Do you have a source for that? My google skills are not finding anything that says that. Only thing I am finding is that they removed the rep requirement from the Pathfinder achievement.

The rep requirement was removed. Still need to do the msq and explore the zones.

Yeah, I have read that…and it definitely doesn’t say:

Pathfinder is still 100% required to unlock flying. They just removed the rep requirement from the achievement.

Yeah I left the word “That” off the post accidentally. That article still has " grinding some Renown with all Dragon Isles factions" in it. Just updated that post to clarify. my bad

Thats what irritates me.
Ion COULD have come out the entire hero on this one.
DRing in an hour of release.
Content literally designed FOR flight as many of us were begging for.

Had he just let normal flight out about a week after release (shouldnt have even been that long) for NO MORE work than was required for DRing, everyone on all sides could have actually concluded that the man IS actually listening to the player base.

and then…

I’m happy for those who are excited for this. Variety is always better!

I’ll be sticking to my Dragonriding/dynamic flight mount.

We should of had Normal flying the damn same day they gave us Dragon flying when Dragon Flight went live a year or so ago…there was no reason to hold off this damn long to allow Normal flying at all.
