    Except for the nasty little fact that a mentality such as that likely won't bode well with subscription numbers. A good example on a situation that was getting similar comments to this was Ghostcrawler's "Dungeons are Hard" blog. Subs plummeted during that timeframe. It wasn't long after that blog that the dungeons magically got nerfed. Blizz is a company in it for the money, and they will in the end do what nets them the most money in sub numbers regardless of what anyone posts to defend or oppose a change their doing. And since casuals do generally outnumber the hardcore, I have a feeling I know which way it will go in the end.

    *looks at WoW's sub numbers"

    *looks at other MMO's sub numbers*

    Yep. Totally.

    6.1 is perfectly acceptable.

    After that I want my ability to fly back. Preferably with a nice quest chain attached.
    Agreed, with the addendum of OR ELSE.

    In further news, please stop trying to make me like MOBAs happen. It's not going to happen.

    Everybody loves to basically fellate the idea of "Don't like it, don't play, they won't miss you". That doesn't somehow translate into people enjoying when Blizzard poops all over their favorite things, and it never will.

    Here's where you're mistaken. That "favorite thing" was created by blizzard in the first place. If they feel like they need to change it to create a better thing, they will.

    You just avoided the point by talking about another one. Other game sub numbers are irrelevant. As a business Blizzard holds it in it's best interest to retain as many subs as they can. That's how they make their money. WoW has and probably will remain the king of MMO's if nothing more than time investment deterring people from wanting to start over again. That does not however negate the fact that the playerbase as a whole has gotten older, and many of those players are in fact quitting when they realize they can no longer afford the time investment required to play at the level they want. Things like LFR & Flex were implemented for those reasons, and despite anyone's opinions on them, it helped retain some of those people.

    Numbers will continue to bleed for various reasons and some of those Blizzard simply can't control. But, when it comes to stuff like this, they have historically caved when their numbers dropped. And they'll probably do it again.

    No, that's what YOU are saying when you say that flying should be taken away because YOU don't like it.

    He's saying that he doesn't care what you do, you shouldn't care what he does, and that you are trying to ban his view because it's against yours.



    I've played WoW since launch, and I can tell you I don't give a damn about immersion. I've had flying for years, I find the areas I can't fly annoying and tedious (not to mention absurd it is that we magically forget how to use flying mounts in certain areas, etc) and quite frankly only want to fly to get from point a to point b as fast as possible, because there's nothing enjoyable about spending time traveling between places.

    People might want to pay attention to 5.4 -> 5.5, because its been 10 months or so so far, and it wouldn't surprise me if it makes it to a year or more, and there's no fucking way anyone is going to be happy going without flying for that long if the wait for 6.1 is even remotely similar.

    I think no flying will probably be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me... it seems to me that Blizzard is constantly nerfing stuff out of some "design vision" and it drives me nuts.

    I remember the first time I tried to bubble on my paladin on Durumu. Why didn't it work? My hunter has to constantly use misdirect on my pet because growl doesn't work on a ton of shit because whofuckingknows. My warlock's pets die almost instantly to some aoe attacks (hunter's too to some extent) because fuck pet classes and how they've worked for years, we want to make shit annoying for you. Oh, you're going to vanish when you see a wipe coming? hahaha, good fucking luck, everything ticks aoe damage now so unless you're really lucky it won't do shit.... and so on, there's so many examples of this and its just really disheartening.
