no need for flying just like vanilla why does anyone complain its stupid
I was unpleasantly surprised to see this topic still going on, but I come here and all I see is a flame war...
brb, making some popcorn.
I mean, I think if you look at Uraism's last post, you can deduce that he doesn't give a shit about the lore, the world, or Warcraft's themes (in his opinion, as he said) and thus is extremely biased when talking about the removal of flying because he simply doesn't care about the game like we do. I assume that since you don't give a shit about any of that as you said earlier, you're arguing to keep flying for convenience issues alone, and not really for the betterment of the game...again since you said you don't give a shit about the world and story or interacting with it by and large.

You're right. Some people do. Just like how you got easily offended for no reason. Also, your arguments are nitpicks on semantics and not worth responding to.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"The bit about hardcore players not always caring about the long term interests of the game is spot on." -- Ghostcrawler
"Do you want a game with no casuals so about 500 players?"
"I didn't realize I had the power to force you to do anything. I thought the devs did.
Maybe I should use this mysterious game design power I have to alter the game in other ways. Thanks for the heads up!"
Here's the quote. Perhaps you were just voicing your opinion, but making asinine remarks and being sarcastic dissuades people from attempting to hear your side. It just makes you look like a child.
On that note, I hope this thread DOES last until 6.1. Because that's their "official" minimum for no-flight. Flying or death! Down with removing content just to elongate Same-Shit Syndrome.
Where did I say anything about the themes or the world? Oh, I didn't. Stop straw-manning me.
Not worth responding to? Or, is it because you're incapable of posting anything resembling logic. I pretty sure that's the case since you have done nothing but post logic fallacies in every single post.
"Give a shit about the lore? No, I don't care. Ever since they made planes of elements, gods, and titans... Their lore has been garbage since warcraft3 came around."
So...planes of elements, gods, and titans are not Warcraft themes? Isn't the world aka Hyjal, Storm Peaks, ICC, etc built around said THEMES? Didn't you say all of this was GARBAGE? Who is strawmanning exactly? Where is the logical fallacy? Do you just throw words you found in the table of contents of a philosophy book out here just to pretend like you know what you're talking about rofl?
There is no strawman because the original fucking proposition: aka no-flying makes you want to interact with the world, is LOST on you because you don't give a shit about it.
No, you're straw-manning me... I guess I can't like the look of some things because they're related to stupid lore. Oh, wait, I can like the look of content, and even enjoy the content, without actually liking the stupid lore.
Edit: Are you really saying that I can't enjoy something because I don't enjoy the story of it? Does not knowing who the girl is in the mona lisa make the piece of art terrible?
I don't want Blizzard to think my position is the only one, that is obviously not true. I'm not trying for deception. What have I done that is deceptive?
My question is what is your motivation for campaigning for the removing flight?
I understand wanting it for WPvP, but I'm on a PvE server. BUT wanting it for WPvP is something I can understand.
Immersion is subjective.
Other than wanting WPvP I don't understand why the anti-fly crowd wants to remove flying.
Really, I'm asking an honest question.
Forum discussions are almost completely worthless to developers. It is a bunch of uninformed idiotic users screaming their untested crappy ass ideas over everyone else. Real data comes from studying what people do in game, how they react to changes, etc.
I've seen this parroted again and again but it's simply nonsense. World PVP was vibrant all the way through Classic, far and beyond after BGs were added. It still exists in many cross zones, though flight has made it more of a gank fest than it was pre-flight. It's not at all dead, but it is arguably lame. Before flight world pvp was roaming pvp, what you encountered you had to deal with, whether you were favored or not. Now you can just fly away from any conflict that's not assured victory.

- Putting everyone on equal footing for node gathering
- Shrine looks ridiculous, too many people floating for no reason.
- Travel is mindless
However, the answer doesn't matter unless it's coming from the high up at blizzard that made the decision.
