But it’s a LONGER wait for flying in BFA. After Ion OPENLY said “we may have waited a bit too long to release flying in Legion” might not be the exact quote but that was said and here we are waiting even longer than last expansion for flying.

at this point I think I’m giving exactly the reaction they were hoping for, because I’m numb to the whole dang issue and just don’t give a frack anymore.

They avoid talking about how to fix class design or RNG gearing. They acknowledge it is a problem but they do nothing.
But Blizz has the motivation to prune portals and neuter flying? Priorities in this game are backwards.
They should fix combat (eg GCD), classes and RNG gearing and then worry about “fixing” travel systems in WoW?

You are completely ignoring why people don’t want flight (I am not one of them, btw) if you have this opinion.
Anyone that does not fly, when flight is available, is playing at a huge disadvantage. In almost every single aspect of the game. People will feel obligated to fly so they aren’t at that huge disadvantage.
Blizzard hasn’t actively done anything to neuter flying since what…WoD? They are following the same formula, with what looks like no thought. They aren’t changing anything. They aren’t actively doing anything to nerf/buff the flight gaining mechanic. Its auto pilot.
Nope.
The formula changes from expansion to expansion because they have no consistency to what they are doing.
In WoD flying was released and Tanaan was a flying zone.
In Legion Argus was a no flying zone.
In BFA it is speculated that both new zones will be a flying zone.
They can’t make up their minds on what flying role should be in this game and the length it should be gated.

Legion = Flight in 7.2
BFA = Flight in 8.2.
Same formula and consistency.
Who is speculating all new zones will be a flying zone upon release?
Edit:
Same formula to unlock (Pathfinder based on reps and main story questline)
Patch 7.2 released a lot sooner than patch 8.2 so they can’t even follow their own formula.
Wowhead has hinted that both new zones may be flying zones. Who knows at this point?
Bottom line is they should go back to their original intent with WoD. Gating flying to the first patch. That would be a “compromise”.

Got it. So Wowhead hinted something, therefor the devs can’t make up their minds on something.
You don’t represent the entire player base, plus there is a lot more content coming in the next patch to experience.
Well the devs can’t communicate their intent openly so they talk to fansites in private so yeah it is possible.
Plus, the patchfinder in WoD required finding treasures. Not sure how that is the same as legion.
Patchfinder changes from expansion to expansion because there is no consistency to what they are doing.

Got it. I just wanted to make sure that rumors and tin foil hat theories are what we are using now.
And while pathfinder has had a few minor tweaks, its largely the same and consistent.
I would argue that that is a bit misleading, I for sure don’t fall into the “we need flying now or I rage quit” camp, but I also don’t sit around laughing to myself like Dr Evil because other people want flying and can’t. I accept that Blizz wants players to experience the landscape that they have created (you cant tell me that you randomly stumble upon things when your flying like you do when your grounded) as well as the fact that its coming eventually. Yep, it sucks we have to wait, but if you remember in WoD, Blizz wanted flying GONE, not time gated, GONE.
Idk, I guess I don’t really have an issue with waiting for convenience
Patchfinder has changed from expansion to expansion so it hasn’t been relatively the same. So you are merely stating your opinion as fact.
Also why would wowhead speculate such a thing if they were not tipped off with that possibility? No one knows for sure but it is possible because Broken Shore had flying enabled as well as Tanaan with only Argus as the no fly zone.

Pathfinder has been relatively the same. Its had only minor changes. Its generally been based on reps and the main story questlines.
WoD 6.2:
Explore Zones
Major story quests
Reps
100 Treasures
12 Apexis Dailies
Legion 7.2:
Explore
Major story quests
100 different WQs
Class Order Quest
Reps
BFA 8.2:
Explore
Major story quests
Reps
100 different WQs
That is largely staying the same. Apexis dailies were the forerunner to world quests. WoD had a larger emphasis on finding treasures. Legion had the class hall, which was also tied to (and can be counted) as the major storyline quest.
No the word the same is being used incorrectly. Similar yes, but the same no.
What formula changed from Legion to BFA? And you obviously want to nitpick words, and when I use “largely the same” that means that its not 100% the same. But mostly similar.
So what exactly is different between the formula we know so far between Legion and BFA Pathfinder?
Not my fault you don’t know the difference between similar or same. But I will forgive you if English is not your first language!
Patchfinder has been similar but never the same from expansion to expansion.
There is going to be a pathfinder part 2 and it’s not going to auto complete. So I guess you will be cancelling your account, you might as well do so today and avoid the wait.
Got it. You are pretending I don’t know the definition of words, while not knowing the common phrase “largely the same”.
Thanks for making it so obvious you are here to do nothing but troll.
Can you please tell me how pathfinder was different from Legion to BFA?
Well tell me how patchfinder is going to be “relatively the same” in BFA in relation to Legion?
I await your response!
