That’s what I’m thinking, because I definitely found some flightpoints that bring you from a low point to a high point, even though we have our dragons. Seems to me they built the xpac with the idea that not everyone would be able to or want to use the dragons. Probably a lot slower travel, but it’s an option.

You implied I was ableist for pointing out how easy dragonriding is, and it is easy, if you wanna play a victim because you can’t do it though, that’s a bit sad.
You have nothing of value to say to me, so bother someone else.

It hasn’t.
Also, literally doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.
We can have both.

I hate dragon riding and use it as little as possible. It’s not fun, it makes me sick. When they finally release regular flying I will never touch dragons riding again, Will never touch the races because I just don’t care enough to learn the courses or learning the finer points of dragon riding.
Giving people choices is a good thing Blizzard, makes more people happy and happy people stay subbed longer.

Talents are nothing new we literally have the same talents forbthe most part. Grand hunts are basically just dailies, new classes are NOT mandatory to play and even then their concepts are not very surprising tbh and you can test them via ptr. Idk about you but ive played other classes on other mmos that play similar to envokers.
Why people dont state why its bad becausr maybe they are tired of getting hounded on by people on gd. Its bern like that forever especially in quitting threads wheb blizzard literally stated its ok to post because they wanted feedback on why you are quitting while others hate seeing those threads drspite they are free to skip them but magically feel drawn to post negativity towards the ops on their own opinions key words OWN OPINIONS.
Like DR or not thats up to you. Make or break is your own decision
It’s not “old people” making those threads.
It’s the multi boxers and bots wanting regular fly back so they can gold farm.

Maybe some of the player base is getting tired of all the gimmicks? The last few expansions with ap, covenants etc. Sure, Dragon gliding is not that bad once you get all the glyphs, and tree unlocked, but yeah it is still just blah gimmicky imo. How to tame/train your dragon got old quick. That again my opinion is why we got watered down things like invasions that are just mind-numbing mob grinds, instead of what we had in Legion, and BFA to an extent. At least those had some objectives besides just standing there mindlessly killing trash mobs for an hour. Just an example anyhow.

It’s change, and change is bad.
People are botting dragonflying already so Ig I can’t tell people that regular flying will bring bots back anymore… Ok that’s fine release regular flying too. The speed is slower so there will still be an incentive to use dragonflying.

Have you missed every expansion since WoD? Flying has been locked behind an achievement.
It’s broken. That’s how blizzard sees it, and they’re right. It’s just overpowered and shouldn’t exist.

You guy’s keep presenting this argument as if regular flying has been available on release in recent expansions.
So the choice is dragonriding, or nothing on release. And that’s the reality.

I’ve watched plenty of bots dragon riding. It’s not hard.

It’s never broken the game. I don’t know why people say this. Me wanting to enjoy the view from the sky, or learn how a zone is put together doesn’t “break the game”.
Neither does me just enjoying flying around without having to constantly track my speed, vigor charges, and not being able to see the scenery around me because I’m going 900% speed while the screen is blurry due to flying effects.

I mean if people are getting motion sick from Dragonriding that’s pretty serious and needs to be addressed somehow.
Yea regular flying is OP. You can go straight up and straight down. In any direction without limit. And there is no cooldown. It invalidates a ton of content just by existing.

Are you copying and pasting the same response over and over, or are you a bot?
What is overpowered about flying? Why is it problematic to be able to go up or down or any other direction? It was perfectly fine from TBC through MOP, people loved it and it never broke the game.
In fact, removing it was the start of some of the worst subscriber fall off WOW has ever had.

People hate change. Get used to something long enough and they’d rather go out of their way to inconvenience themselves and others just to stick with that status quo.
Mostly it’s a huge amount of the new content and it’s not just a matter of can’t do it it’s also a matter of “going to throw up” when they do it.
Everybody always likes to sit there and say but you can go slow if it the speed is the problem the speed isn’t the problem it’s the fact that something about the fov makes them feel like they should be moving and their stomach disagrees with what their eyes are seeing and they throw up.
I’ve had this experience with a different video game and there was nothing I could do to fix it which was intensely frustrating. And I still don’t know what’s wrong because I’ve played other first person shooters and it was fine.
Does that mean the game should change well if it’s a fundamental part of the game and they don’t give you any work around when there could be a pretty easy work around… It can be frustrating.
Do I think some of these people are just bots who are mad that they can’t program a bot to do their grinding? Probably.
But for people who actually experience motion sickness I understand it’s often something right out of left field because it shouldn’t be like that especially if you’ve been playing a video game for a really long time and all of a sudden it happens.
You can absolutely get around it, even in the “no good” dungeon, but it’s slower and the zones are much bigger when you are on foot.
Removing the ability to gather and get dragon glyphs on a normal flying mount would get rid of most of the problem that people might have with say, bots.
After that, choosing to go on the slower Mount because you can’t handle the dragon Riding mount? Not something anyone will do unless they have to.
It’s an easy fix.

If this was true Blizzard wouldn’t have locked flying in every expansion after that.
Old flying let’s you go from point of interest to point of interest skipping all enemies and terrain without limit or restriction or challenge.
Why would you want that in any game? Imagine if super mario 64 had flying like that and you could just numlock to each star. It would really start to blur the line of even being a video game at that point.

You also can’t just go slow, since the way the physics work make maintaining a slow speed really hard, and you have to be moving ultra fast to climb at all.

Not really. You have already seen 99% of every pixel in each zone while quest leveling anyways. If you consider avoiding trash mobs getting to an area invalidating content after reaching max level, then how about making those irrelevant trash mobs drop something besides a few silvers, and copper, or maybe a green fireflash of the boar killer weapon 
, then folks might not try so hard to avoid them lol. Outside of being a druid you have to land dismount to complete an objective or complete a daily 99% of the time anyways. Pathfinder was nothing more, than a slowdown mechanic, nothing more nothing less.
Doubt it. If that were true, then why do they continue to push flying mounts in the game? In game, or through the cash shop.
