    Because people want to be forced rather controlled in terms of NOT flying when they themselves can do it without dragging other people whom enjoy it.
    Not exactly.
    I get your point, but what I mean is

    - We have a huge world that feels tiny and empty,
    - That's because we have a way of travel that is simply too convenient.
    - The distances you have to travel nowadays are suited for the current model of flying mount.

    So when I ask something like this I assume that in the end, you will travel for the same amount of time to play, you just do less distance.

    You will be more easily attacked? probably yes
    You will enjoy the map more? that's the point of this change
    You still think you prefer the game the way it is? no problem! we're here just to discuss, just tell us the reason

    Your poll is wrong, you can enter multiple values.
    It's intended, thanks anyway

    No no no no no no no no no

    If you don't like using a flying mount its your choice not to. The rest of us are quite happy with them.

    Carry on

    1) I play on a pve server so that doesn't concern me. If I played on a pvp server for god knows why, I'd probably hate it.
    2) "Oh jolly dear, I do enjoy looking at that pretty *Landscape thing* for the billionth time" (It's cool the first few times, but when you have seen it, you've seen it). And when I do want to see it again, I fly down there and awe in it's glory.
    3) Pretty sure I'd enjoy it more now than after a change. Probably because we're getting used to flying now. We're too deep in to retreat.

    I think it would be a sucky solution to a problem that doesn't exist to the majority of the playerbase. Blizz chose to make flying like swimming when they implemented it, it's too late to alter it now.
    Now you see it. Now you don't.

    I enjoy the map from above anyway. The game is fine the way it is, if you dont want to use flying mounts you dont have to, dont force me to use ground mounts to get around or slow my journey from point A to point B.

    We have a huge world that feels pretty full nowadays, if we're focusing on current content. If you're just in one city the entire time sitting in a queue for the next dungeon, that's your problem.

    Travel being more convenient doesn't make the world feel tiny. It makes it easier to get to the parts of the world where you want to go. It's the content in the world that makes it feel tiny. If it's all condensed, then it's tiny. If it's spread out, it isn't.

    Pandaria was made for both ground and flying mounts. As was Northrend and Outland.

    I don't honestly believe for one second that getting rid of flying mounts will make us enjoy the map more. What it'll do is make flight paths the primary trans-zone travel system, which means we're spending less time in the game as much as alt-tabbed watching videos while we wait to automatically touch down.

    I enjoy the map plenty from above. ^_^

    Also thanks to CRZ, you can't seem to go more than 100 paces without getting ganked by a level 90 in the lower level zones, so I don't know about the world feeling empty either.

    No. If you were to have only ground mounts, then any future world would have to be much smaller with questing nodes much much closer together, with fewer mobs, and fewer resources. You'd also have less variety and scale in a zone.

    I love the feeling to be able to fly free, to be able to spiral my own way up a mountain or swoop into a gorge on my flying mount.

    No, it wouldn't work.

    TBH, if I'm trying to get somewhere thats any further distance than the next zone across I normally just get on a flight point so I can go AFK or do something online etc.

    I love how OP translates 90% NO!!!! to -> People don't want to "abandon" their flying mount so lets figure out a way to nerf them so they have to do it the way I want them to.

    No means No! 90% is pretty damned high amount of no, theres no need to translate it so that it fits your world view. Stop trying to force 90% of us to play your way.

    Well in all honestly i did say If animal flying mounts actually existed. But in your case I'd say yea even airplanes "get fatigued" - it's called needing fuel. Airplanes, hueys - whatever all need fuel to stay airborn over time. Again - all this adds is realism - that to me sounds like no one wants in game.

    Blizzard goes so far as to nerf every little grind, make xyz take less time and make this and that shorter,instant teleports/summons/portals everywhere from everywhere, and you seriously expect that they will axe the usability of the fastest mounts in the game?

    You can fly normally, but when flying, your mount will stack fatigue 'till the moment it's full. At this point it will start to (slowly) fall down and land.
    Then you have to wait until your mount gains enough fatigue.

    I think this change could bring back what Turalyon wants: (or what I think he wants) a world with a geography that matters.

    /discuss
    You can do what you want to your crappy PvP servers, but:

    LEAVE MY PVE OUT OF IT.

    The closest real thing to a flying mount would be an aircraft. Those don't have fatigue issues either.
    Actually they do:
    -They can run out of Gas
    -Parts can break down due to material fatigue

    That's why there are regular checkups and refills when landing

    This is the kind of response I'm asking for, not this:
    LOL don't fly if you don't want to
    I already do that, let's go over this and let's talk about why you think it's a good/bad idea, (or do not post if you can't express why, I'm not touching your game anyway)

    okay?

    The "world" isn't full, it's just a few high level zones where people are forced to do mountains of dailies each day, so you see excessive numbers of people crammed into single zones.

    It's their fault the a vast majority of the game is done through placement systems that don't require you to do anything other than click a button?

    And travel being convenient does make the world feel small because you just fly really high and then auto "run" and go get your drink. There's no danger of being ganked, there's no interesting scenery because the game doesn't load half of the things on the ground. You don't experience those traveling vendors, the occasional open world PvP, or helping random people and making new friends.

    Do I think getting rid of flying mounts is the answer? No, but they do lower personal enjoyment of the game greatly all for simple convenience.

    the people who can't live without flying mounts also fast travel in skyrim. a game is nothing but a honey-do list that they like to check off. they like completing them, not doing them. they're the kid who never grows up and realizes that the best part of christmas was the buildup, the time between thanksgiving and xmas when you knew your presents were hidden somewhere in the house and it ate you alive

    that's the good part though. the journey is where the fun is. it's why they can't consume enough to make them happy these days because they fucking skip games for the achievements.

    this generation is a bunch of whiny fucks who want it all now and that's all they want. it's why gaming is so damn queer today. they're their own worst enemy and unfortunately they're everyone elses' enemy too

    Flying mounts are not a problem so there's no 'solution' required. Besides which, the other poll and preliminary results from this one show that they're popular as is and changing things to make the game less convenient isn't going to go down well. QOL really does matter.

    If it's exploration you're after then explore on the ground to your heart's content. If it's more PVP that you're after, from what I read there's plenty enough of that around if you know where to look.
