Why can't I fly directly to the raid?

Why does it take two flight paths and a manual interchange to get to the raid? Why can’t I just fly straight there?

Why do I fly 70% of the way there, get dropped off, have to mount up, ride 100 feet, and get on another flight path to finish the remaining trip?

This seems like an easy quality of life win. Just let us fly directly there without the interchange.

All about that TIME PLAYED.

That isn’t relevant? Flashing your “i’ve been here forever card” doesn’t do anything for the issue at hand, which is that it’s an easy thing to fix to add a bit of improved quality of life to the game right now.

I mean, eventually you can.

No one was flashing anything. It was a joke about how getting to raid entrances used to be. And people actually asked for this back.

I have a question: are there elites in your way when trying to get to the entrance? I haven’t been there yet.

This is called quality gaming! :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :woman_shrugging:

How about that trip to AQ20/40 from Ironforge…

  1. Take flight path to Menethil Harbor
  2. Run to docks
  3. Wait for boat
  4. Take boat to Darnassus
  5. Run through tree portal to flight master
  6. Take flight path to Cenarion Hold (20m flight)
  7. Ride to AQ

All said and done you’re looking at a 30-45m affair just getting out there.

Not when i went, but if you stray off the path a little, they are there.

take the other boat to Theramore, and fly from a closer position.

In hindsight you’re right, but my entire guild always took the Darnassus path for some reason. Either way, a pretty protracted trip.

Well that’s a bonus. At least it’s not like SoD. lol

I still don’t remember how to unlock the SoD raid teleport on my alt lol

I have it on my main, but my alt can’t use the portals even though he has done all the maw quests and is high rep with venari and bought all the stygia upgrades.

there’s 2 annoying spot in ZM. Getting to raid and getting to the world boss. Wish they connect all the teleporter

because this is the pre alpha. connected transfers were not implemented yet. the first ones didnt want to accidently send part of you to one location and another part to another. :thinking:

its also a slight bit of security not having your general connections on the same network as your secure connections. :face_with_monocle:

They don’t care about your convenience they care about time played metrics. Everything about this game is a scam meant to scam us for more time. Its more and more clear everytime they implement stuff like this.

Like how in Legion you could instant teleport anywhere in argus. Then they said oh let’s reduce the number of teleport locations and make it really slow by watching yourself glide around the zone oh and let’s make it as inefficient as possible by making some points not connected to the main teleport points to force more time played in addition to having to painfully watch yourself float from A to B as a glowing orb.

It’s like getting slapped in the face with a fish right after getting slapped in the face
