What’s the point of flying in BFA?

Think about it some people have it currently which basically stops them from progressing in the game bc it’s account wide. Say you get the achievement what else does it benefit besides your low level bfa alts was to get to areas quicker. Even if you manage to get it your done till the next patch comes out your basically done

Im curious of this. How does this even make any sense?

Farm AP World Quests way faster and finish leveling the couple alts I have left that aren’t 120. Flying only makes you do things faster, it’s not a cure-all.

Are you actually arguing that unlocking flying is the end of progression?

I actually don’t know what to say to that. It’s like attempting to convince someone the Earth is round.

Because usually blizz puts in a zone that you cant fly in at the end of the xpac. So you get to fly for one patch cycle.

This isn’t even the end of the expansion, you know that right? Flying was NEVER progression and this dude seems to think it is. Literally a raid coming out next week

Are they going to remove all relevant World Quests and Emissaries from Zuldazar, Kul Tiras, Mechagon, and Nazjatar?

Of course not. So you’ll still get to trivialize that content with flying.

I don’t even understand what you are talking about.

Flying improves the game for ME. I would never even have my alts over in those two new areas without flying. I don’t know how much time you have in a day but I don’t have enough to want to waste it taking an hour to do a quest like I did a number of times prior to getting flying two days ago.

If you don’t want to fly just don’t if you see no purpose to it. Easy isn’t it !

The point of flying is to be able to skip as much ground combat as possible, and make traveling as easy as possible.

They always were trivial even day one.

Makes farming easier. Makes WQs easier. It makes it so that the cluttered world they created isnt such a pain to traverse

And its fun

i can almost see the sense in this. ion has made flying such a polarizing mess that to some, it just may be the end of the expansion. so you finally got flight. you have been looking forward to it, agonizing over it, and now you have it. now what? after 11 months of wait you realize it’s not the cure , or fix, you thought it was. just a thought.

I guess if you look at wqs and emissaries as relevant then it you wouldnt see it the way the op does. Personally I just take the 10 minutes it takes to do the 4 wqs. Shortening it by 2 minutes isnt that big of a trivialization for me.

Or its useless after 11 months as you have already done everything you had to do the hard way, like digging a swimming pool with a trowel and when youre almost done someone throws you a shovel.

To make this boring, lazy, and borne of incompetence expansion just a little bit less of a slog.

The point is so on the off chance I want to travel somewhere I can just go straight freakin’ there instead of spending 2 minutes to solve a terrain puzzle Blizzard only put into the game to squeeze their time played out of me.

I hate this nonsense phrase so much. Flying doesn’t do the content for you. Flying doesn’t aid you in combat. Flying GETS you to the content. Flying eliminates the obvious tedium with modern wow zone design.

I agree. They should remove Pathfinder and make flying purchased for gold at max level from day one like they did for 10 years before WoD.

Seriously, this question never came up before Ion and friends came along with their crusade against flying. It was just a way to get around in those days; not “the end of the game”.
