I'm not "blowing shit out of proportion to impose yourself on others." I'm saying that flight being in the game 'does' effect people, whether or not they participate in it. How exactly is that "blowing shit out of proportion?"
And that's not a valid interpretation of my example. I'll simplify it for you.
I set a goal of: obtaining gear
and gave options of: [a] obtain useless gear slowly, or [b] obtain useful gear quickly.
Which one do you think people are going to pick? Do you think they will pick the option that might be more fun, or that accomplishes their goal?
My use of a logical extreme was just to show an example of an option can that is clearly bad.
I never said it was a large effect. Earlier in the thread I stated that flying added nothing and was a small negative.
And wtf is this nonsense, that WoW doesn't have a community? A mediocre community, is still a community.
community - a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists
