Is it actually even needed outside of the centaur dungeon? I finished the entire campaign and most optional quests and counted exactly one where I needed to flap twice.
The thing is, I had read all the people with handycaps or the elderly who were saying they were going to unsub, before I bought the expansion, so I made something of a conscious effort to make mental note of “non optional” dragon flying and there’s basically none.
I mean technically playing the whole game is optional but why are people upset they can’t do it? The same people probably couldn’t have done naxxramis in classic either, WoW has always had content not everyone can do.
I’d argue that in the grander scheme of videogames this flying mechanic is basic, I haven’t tested it but i think you could get at least a bronze with like, nothing but a mouse and some very slow movements, i mean you can fall out of the sky and take off again and stil “succeed”

Did…did…did OP just say dragonriding is as hard has doing naxx in classic?

No? I have no idea how that’s how you took it. I literally explained that you can do it with one finger. I think you may have stroked out while reading. I bet you can fly a dragon though.

Idk. I think people just want to use their mount collection. I also think maybe they are just getting frustrated with one or two easily tweakable things.
I feel like they should’ve just given us fully upgraded dragons. Why give us gimped dragons that feel worse to fly?

Well, they should give an option to use both.
I love Dragon Riding and wish my old mounts could do it.

Because they don’t really care about the handicap and things like that. They don’t want dragon riding they want classic. People make up flimsy excuses rather than just saying that
Why? Who knows

Id rather they converted all the old mounts to the new system. Not having bots ruin the player economy for once was such a breathe of fresh air.

Yes, Im not sure why we didnt have an option for both on release…
The only benefit I can see from limiting normal flight at this point is stopping herbing/mining bots

I think they will let players use both later in the expac.
I do also hope they find a way to make all mounts flyable with the system.

I mean, that doesn’t say that Dragonflying is hard.
I worry that Dragon Riding will be stuck on the Isles only next expansion… And that old mounts will never be able to do it.

Because if they gave the option to use normal flying people would’ve used normal flying. Because normal flying is OP. Thus why they are trying to rework it entirely.

Normal flying is only OP for short travel…like between herb/mining nodes
There is no way I would ever use it if I was actually trying to get somewhere. It even feels horrible now when I have to use it outside DF.

It’s slower than dragon riding, so maybe it wouldn’t crowd it out entirely. But it still allows you to go straight up and down, go any direction without limit (cept invisable ceiling). It also doesn’t have cooldowns.
Man when you say it outloud it’s really obvious that this never should’ve been implemented in any game, let alone an MMO.

I dont find hard or anything. I just find it fun and wished this was actually the flying baseline for all mounts.
Why are people so vocal about bashing people who don’t like dragonhumping?

If you mean me I don’t have and hate toward anyone on either side of the liking it argument, I just want one of those people who started all these huge threads about how they can’t do it to explain why that matters.
Because they are confused and seem to think that normal flying should or can exist in the game going forward. As if it literally hasn’t broken the game for years so much it had to be locked behind an achievement.
I don’t know why both aren’t available. Once you have the whole tree unlocked dragon flying is far superior as far as long distance travel but I definitely have times where I’d prefer the traditional flight.
But obviously dragon flying is a huge part of the expansion that they put a lot of time and resources into so they are gonna do everything they can to encourage/prod people into using it.
