    The logic suggestion here is hilarious. You think they'd lie about a game mechanic being in that would keep subs, and then after remove it. Which would mean they'd purposely be doing something that would lose subs. If they thought flying/no flying was so important to their money, they wouldn't be removing it.

    No but they might deliberately try to cloud the issue of whether flying will or won't be returning in order to sell more pre-orders to bolster their income for the first quarter of 2014 knowing that the second quarter is going to probably have significant sub losses & loss of revenue.

    The issue of removing flying, at least for release, is designed to allow them to speed up development time by not having to 'fly proof' all content visually & from a testing perspective. It also has the added benefit of it making leveling take longer extending the life of content & making the concept of timeless isle style random rares work much better in the open world.

    Blizzard knows there is nothing they can do at this point to stop the sub losses they are going to get between now & Nov/Dec when WOD is released. All they can do is try to keep the negativity to a minimum, throw out some small bones like the 2 extra valor upgrades and RAF mounts and hope for the best.

    In Vanilla when it first started and I quit. I didn't post on forums about it. I just fuckin quit. Course it was temporarily until Wrath but you get the point. Dude....you're approaching Jaylock levels. It's fine if you disagree with Blizzard's decisions but this is not a good way to do it. I disagreed with GC's view on flying but you don't see me shouting it everywhere across the world.

    I tell all the young gamers buyer beware. Even I could have not imagined beta not being out yet...so until beta is out take a wait and see approach.

    Whenever Gaylock gets banned he has numerous other accounts to play on this is probably one of them.

    Despite people wanting flying back so badly, realize there are people who have wanted it gone since...probably even BC.

    Also, if they really were doing it just to "trick people into buying WoD", as it seems to be being implied, they wouldn't be allowing refunds, they would of set some silly fine print to prevent that.
    Pretty much this, they are finally taking an opportunity to take flying away for at least a few months, I think it will be a fine experience, and i'm willing to bet some of the people who don't want it removed will enjoy how the world feels without being able to ignore terrain/mobs entirely once they hit level cap.

    The fact that anyone even cares about flying being removed other than ponderous apprehension is baffling.
    The entire video game already can not be played with flying mounts.
    Literally the only thing you can fly through in the current expansion equates to travel and world bosses.
    Nothing else uses flying.
    Not raids, not challenge modes, not the timeless isle, not arena, not rbgs, not scenarios, not lfr, not flex, not anything that matters.

    Just get over it already, for the love of god. You will be surprised how much more enjoyable the world is when you can't travel over it.
    Nothing else will change besides that.

    Jaylock is anti-flying IIRC. So unless he's deliberately trying to make the pro-flight crowd look ridiculous(which if he is he's doing an excellent job and is probably the greatest forum troll ever) this is just somebody who feels so betrayed that Blizzard thinks that their "favorite part of the game" is inconsequential bordering damaging to the health of the game. Especially considering said poster has defended probably hundreds of bad decisions Blizzard has made in the past 8-9 years with the fury of 1,000 suns.

    People were QQing just as much when it was only one patch.

    Do I think this was some bait and switch? No, that's stupid.

    No. They've already said that isn't why they're removing flying.

    Well I'd hardly expect them to say that it is the reason, it's not exactly a positive spin on things now is it. It doesn't mean it isn't true though just because they deny it.

    Everyone from Corporations to governments put a spin on things to suit whatever their agenda might be. You are well within your rights to believe everything Blizzard tell you though, that is most definitely a fact.

    Wait a minute.. if i'm reading this correctly, you sound like you know a lot of what's going on at Blizzard HQ. Can we get some information on the Alpha if that's the case?

    Sure, it went really really badly and they are now desperately trying to get the game fixed for open alpha. Also Bashiok cut his left index finger last week whilst slicing a piece of bread in the lunch room and Ion Hazzikostas likes to wear a Tutu & dance to Lady Gaga at 2am when everyone else has gone home for the night.

    Sound plausible?

    Couldn't possibly be that they changed their minds >.>. If they really wanted to screw people out of money they could of just waited until 6.1 was coming out to announce flying was never being readded.

    Also, i'm pretty sure every zone is "fly proofed" as someone called it. They'd be really stupid not to considering they still aren't sure what they're doing with flying.
