As a long time retail player who is back for fresh wrath, I can say for certain now.
World of Warcraft is meant to be played from the ground.
No flying WoW is a completely different game. You have explore, you have to fight your way through mobs, you have to participate in massive wpvp battles.
The game is infinitely better with no flying.
Gameplay with flying? Mount, fly up, fly straight. That’s it.
Flying is not gameplay, it’s a non instant teleport that puts you wherever you want to be. It’s god mode, flying removed all danger from the game.
No, it does not. What it does is remove the tedious repetition of the same quests over and over on repeat leveling with alts.
I don’t think anyone minds if mounts are grounded through the initial story. Once I have completed the story on my main, I Want to level my alts as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Don’t hold your breath. If the WoD backlash taught them anything, it’s flying will never be removed.
Deal with it or go back to Vanilla Classic and ride your horse all over the continents.
By the way……you do have the option to not fly. Did you know that? If you want to experience the danger yourself…….strike down the urge to summon your flying mount.
In retail I will just run through all the mobs and nuke AoE problem solved lol classic is 100% different in general flying didn’t change it the gameplay did.
Realistically im fine with how things are now of us only using ground mounts then being able too fly later on. Main thing is we shpuldnt have too relearn flying for the next season in the same expac.
If you’re back for LK classic, so why are you saying it about flying?
WofLK open world content was entirely made considering flying, for example, zone like Storm peaks and Ice crown are impossible to be completed without it.
You came here acting as old school player, but the content you loved, uses the same thing you hate. You are contradicting yourself.
