Go outside? I mean... sounds pretty naive to think everyones going to quit mmo's altogether at the same time and go outside with you. Do you really believe that? More power to you, but that's certainly a stretch if I've ever seen one.
So any game that doesn't have flying is living in the past? I'm confused...now it's not about flying at all? This situation is really not unprecedented. They have always had no flying zones, mostly pvp...some cities.... all through leveling usually not allowed to fly.
I just find it amusing that people find flying such an extreme issue that they would rather quit then play anything at all, well except you because now it's not even about flying apparently.
So if no other mmo even has flying besides a very select few, doesn't that automatically cancel out all the ppl who are crying about not having flying in WoD? Unless this is really like you said and not even about flying, which in that case it doesn't matter if they implement it or not. Sounds to me people will have the vendetta against them either way.
Edit: I'm just genuinely curious what the other options are, what people who are deciding to quit are going to pick up. Sometimes I sound like a jerk I know and I apologize in advance for it. I don't mean anything to come off as personal even though these things tend to sound personal. At the end of the day we are all just a number on a stat sheet. We are debating a video game and debates get lively.
