No-flying was the brain child of Tom Chilton and Alex Afrasiabi... but Ion is the face that gets to deliver it to you.
Let's keep shooting the messenger, however. This is indeed one of those rare moments where I'm actually defending Ion, but simply because people act like Ion is/was the main force behind the attempt to have flight removed permanently.

^ this.

you can blame them if you want to, but ion is the one that lied, and misled everyone. he is also the one that has kept it going now for 3 expansions. so I guess the dude with the napoleon complex owns it now.

That's kind of his job, unfortunately.

Without knowing exactly what's going on behind the scenes, completely unsure how much of that is actually him and how much of that is from those above him.

he could alter or eliminate pathfinder anytime he wanted to. he could place flight in 8.1 for everyone that has completed pathfinder part one. ion is the one screwing with flight, not tom chilton.

11/02/2018 05:03 PMPosted by XukonI legitimately don't understand why we should be made to wait for 6+ more months for NO REASON.
I completed Pathfinder part 1 before leaving BFA, and I'll NEVER pay for a subscription again to WOW as long as Pathfinder is in the game. Never, ever.
Flying should be given at max level, no gold and no pathfinder. It's a fun mechanic that makes playing the game much more entertaining, and Blizzard pushed it off until the end of the expansion solely to fluff up the "time played" metic. They do not care about what players want.
The only thing to do is cancel your subscription if you don't like it. Otherwise Blizzard could not care less what you think about it. So I cancelled mine, and I won't be back as Blizzard's developers have taken an actively hostile position against player satisfaction and happiness.
So no more money for Blizzard from me until Pathfinder is gone, never to return.

We know the reason. It's cheaper to make a corridor than it is a world.

I mean, I really don't mind Pathfinder as it's things I'd do anyway...but it shouldn't exist in the first place. But, Ion was dealt a serious blow back in WoD which resulted in this. So...I guess that's another reason I don't mind it.
Or for that matter, 6+ months for the actual release of Kul Tirans and Zandalari Trolls. Actual factual on-the-box features. Half a year. I don't even understand that.
One year (or more) without being able to fly, I mean, they throw it already in the last patch of the expansion to say "well, there you have it, you can fly now".
I do not know, but using the terrestrial mount is very annoying for the vast majority of players. They should reconsider and put it in patch 8.1...

11/02/2018 07:10 PMPosted by SnownoseWhats the point designing all these zones if everyones just gonna fly through it as fast as possible then cry that there's no content
I did Part One. I did and saw their content. I am now doing less content because I hate not being able to fly in zones so convoluted and packed with mobs they are obviously designed for flying.
Have you BEEN to Dazar'alor? Tell me with a straight face it wasn't designed for flying.
The whole zone is cliffs and steep switchbacks, often with enough foliage that you can't tell how long the drop is to the next path if you get lazy and want to jump. Designed. For. Flying.

Because most people don't care, agree with Blizz, and think it really isn't a big deal at all.

I think you have that backwards.
Only doing Pathfinder Part 1 is lazy.

It's almost like they want mass subscription losses with how insanely stupid they are with flight time gating. I doubt there is anything they can do in the rest of Blizzcon that can counter how angry I am that they are persisting with this blithering idiocy.11/02/2018 05:03 PMPosted by XukonI legitimately don't understand why we should be made to wait for 6+ more months for NO REASON.

Wait, so MMO-Champion is wrong?
Under 8.1, it says:
And a quote from the Recap, posted by a Blue:
Under 8.1, it says:
Flying Added - Bees, Gryphons, and Mechanical Parrots
And a quote from the Recap, posted by a Blue:
Flying
Pathfinder Part 2 will become available and a variety of new flying mounts will be able to take to the skies.
things like flying and xmog restrictions has to be paying a toll on the subscription totals overall, makes me wonder why Blizz resists improving or open up these mmoRPG features more.

Everyone hates pathfinder and unanimously agree we should be able to fly after part 1.
Dont do that though. How should the players know what they want or why they leave?
I don't hate pathfinder.
I prefer it over previous methods.
Yeah cause its way better than getting max level and paying a few thousand gold /sarcasm

Oh there’s a reason, it’s to keep you subbed to keep the money coming in for the business.
