probably more effective if you say I
We indicates that WE agree which WE don’t
There are people that have a lot of different ways to enjoy the game. If you don’t want to fly what does it hurt to let those who do? You are still welcome to not fly! I don’t like PVP doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be in game.
I enjoy having the freedom to interact with the world on my own terms; in the way that I find most fun. Otherwise, I’d be playing a regular action adventure game where there’s only one path to the final goal. For me, the simple act of flying and being in control of where I go and how is a major thing that makes the game fun.
I remember in the early days of MoP, there were flocks of birds that flew around Halfhill and the Valley that would knock you off your mount if you flew too high or too near them. It was nerfed to make them harmless pretty early on, though, unfortunately.
Flying makes resource gathering more efficient so AH prices on herbs and ore and such will drop once everyone can fly. Folks who play the AH are often in favor of keeping everyone grounded so as to keep AH prices high.
I don’t agree, mind you. I’m in the pro-flying asap camp. But that’s one argument I’ve heard from folks against flying.
Case in point below:
Choosing to fly when flying is available is exactly that - a choice. Choices have consequences. You can choose the efficiency of flying or you can choose to stay grounded and accept that you’re choosing a less efficient method of transportation. Either you like flying or you don’t. The folks who like flying for the sake of flying shouldn’t be penalized because those who don’t want to fly can’t take responsibility for their decisions. Don’t want to deal with inefficient resource gathering? The skies await!
I don’t mind doing Pathfinder… it’s the gating between doing Pathfinder 1 and when part 2 that actually allows me to fly that I mind. I’d much rather see Pathfinder 1 unlock flying for all available zones to date, and then have Pathfinder 2 to unlock flying for the next set of zones, etc.
From this post,you don’t do quests, or even instances, so what do you do ? I suspect that you PvP, and those are instanced, so you don’t even need to fly.
I am totally fine with having to do Pathfinder 1 on my main to able to fly on my alts. I have seen all the content, and done the required rep grind/hoop jumping that Blizzard requires. Having flying time gated halfway through the expansion, makes no sense to me. I have already experienced the content in the way Blizzard intended. Shouldn’t we be rewarded with making our alts grind a bit easier? Otherwise they just sit there, until I feel like slogging through the content yet again on the ground, hating every minute of it because it is just as annoying the 2nd, 3rd, 6th time, etc. This is why a lot of people unsub after finishing Pathfinder 1 (or never finish it in the first place because it is gated behind stupid, pointless WQ rep grind) until flying is made available halfway through the expac. So don’t say that people aren’t ‘experiencing’ the content as intended. We have, been there, done that, now want to have fun with the content the way WE see fit.
no, Iplayed legion because I enjoyed it unlike BfA that I can barely stand because the AP grind.
I got a couple allieds inthe process because the rep for the two groups I got exalted with was seriously easy, unlike some of the other races in the game.
Getting exalted with ONE group isnt that hard.
Doing it for a list of them for some trivial crap like flying isnt something Im willing to do.
I basically do whatever Im currently in the mood to do.
Farming ore, herbs and skinning is probably 90% of what I enjoy doing and without flight its quite a bit more of a pain then with flight.
I could level a character just farming alone. Add in pet battles and I could easily level from 1 to 120 in a decent amount of time, but probably taking longer than you would questing and all that crap pathfinder requires.
Id have in the same or MORE play time than you, but * I * would get screwed out of having flight for simply preferring to play the way * I * ENJOY playing the game.
Total crap nonsense, to be honest.
But it’s not suits in accounting that told them to fix it. That’s not how it works.
It was developers in data analytics that were keeping watch for how many subscriptions they were losing over it, that informed accounting and executive leadership, and executive leadership took a look at how much lost revenue they were about to suffer from shooting themselves in the foot that told them to 'fix it".
So instead they tried a psychological experiment to try and gently rip flight out instead of gutting it all at once.
Now they try to give as little flight as possible only when it’s irrelevant as a giant middle finger to the player base for voting with their dollars and unsubscribing in reaction to their blithering idiocy on flight.
