    Flight duration in Cataclysm

    Has anything at all been said about doing something about the duration of flights between the various points in Cataclysm?

    I think I've read that they might be making more of the flights go from A-B as opposed to A-? with a dozen stops along the way, but even A-B can take a long freaking time if you want to go from one end of a continent to the other.

    If you want to go from one end of the continent to the other, might I suggest portals, zeppelins, and ships?

    I agree that it's great that the flight paths are getting trimmed down a bit, but there's be no incentive for players to use their flying mounts if all the flight paths were the speed of fucking bullet trains.

    Just fly for yourself? the 5k gold for riding 300 should be earned in notime with cata. (even more then now)

    You mean apart from traveling to specific locations once you get to a zone?

    Or they could just make the flight times shorter and use a cut screen like they do with the boats and zeppelins?

    And I already have epic flight on all my characters high enough to have it.

    How about they just allow you to instantly teleport directly where you want without a second thought?

    They have already done tons to shorten travel time, even around the old world. The Cataclysm changes will also do loads to shorten flight times (no need to skit around unfinished mountain ranges). If they do anything else, there will be no more need for the world and all that will exist in-game is the starting zones, your main city, and you get to all the dungeons/battlegrounds with the dungeon finder/PVP frame.
