That’s right, we got helicopters from the 1947 Roswell crash.
If Act-Blizz were doing well, they wouldn’t have jumped at MS offer. Also, MS hasn’t finished the deal. Making a large pop quit due to removing normal flying via replacing it with the DR gimmick means MS either renegotiates a vastly lower purchase price, or pulls their offer completely. I almost wish they would.

Actually it seems more like an extremely vocal minority on the forums. I have yet to speak to anyone in game who doesn’t like Dragonriding.

We don’t actually have a way to check either way. But even if it is just a minority, why not release regular flying too? It wouldn’t hurt the dragon riders and it would make life nicer for whoever likes reg flying.

Selection bias? After all, it’s possible that those who don’t like dragonriding already left and thus are not longer in-game to say that too you. But that may just be my own confirmation bias speaking. Despite my own dislike, I honestly don’t see dragonriding as being so divise an issue as, say, garrisons in WoD were.

Hopefully never. I like gathering being profitable now that the Druid Farm Bots are dead.

How exactly do you know that it’s this specific amount of players? Next you’ll want normal flying to be as fast as Dragonflight, no doubt.
You have no idea that anyone has left because of this, other than the anecdotal level, just saying.
indeed so and I said it myself,
Nope. That’s part of the problem with dragon riding, it’s to fast. Can’t control it, makes the screen blur when turning giving me major migraines. And all that white crap streaming at your eyes.

I admit I suck at dragonriding even with 5 vigor I took everyone advice it just doesn’t work for me…I would like regular flying back.

I dunno, they do that in GW2 and it doesn’t seem to bother anyone.
That’s cool and all, but I’m not playing GW2 and have no intention to

It isn’t a punishment. Stuff on the ground to find you can’t see from the air? Having to put in effort to reach a quest target? That’s just part of a game. LOL if you want easy I suggest you don’t ever play a Dark Souls game!

Here I am wishing that all my flying mounts could use dragon-riding…even in the pre-DF areas.

I mean… Yeah. I hate all the soulsborne games and don’t want to play them? What point are you getting at here?

My point is if you consider stuff on the ground you can’t see from the air as being punishing, or hostiles actually attacking you as being punishing, then you clearly just want an easy game. WoW isn’t hard but it shouldn’t be Animal Crossing either.

Well, for one, I’m playing a rogue which lets me circumvent hostiles about as good as flying does. And that’s part of the game, too. Why does it bother you if someone wants to negate elements of quests? You can still do them just fine.

Of course. Airswimming was disabled in Timeless Isle because it’d be dead easy to ignore the terrain and trivialise the elite mob placement. Same reason it was disabled in the molten front, because the world quests would be trivialised.
This has to be the biggest reach I’ve seen on the forums. Newsflash: what you call flying is just air-swimming with a cosmetic mount implemented on the client.
Cope. won’t detract from the fact that just as botters and multiboxers affected far more than just the players botting and boxing, airswimmers affect the game far more than their solipsism would suggest.
right? and it’s far more challenging and likely therefore far more easy to detect a bot that dragonrides.
