Yeah, because that will stop people asking for flying. Like a zone like the maw. Or many qeusts and caves we have no does not stop it. A busy roof top like ardenweil or caves like bastion will not stop it.
And they are not pretending it does not exist. Its just not a priority. Could they do a bit more? yeah. But then people will complain: its time gated we have not flying yet we can not reach it.
I am doing that? nope. Stop seeing things that are not there. So tired of that. People seeing/reading things that are not there.
Yes they could add more flying stuff. But if they do that it will become flying from point a to point b. And even if there is some ground stuff it will get ignored.
Why build the rest of the world if people are just going from point a to b ? Yes they can motivade it by doing quest etc and it would be cool if they added that.
But it still does not negated the point that its bad world building.
Because then most levels will look like a n64 mario level. some flying platforms. And while i think you are right that it could be a addition. Take per example nagrand with its flying rocks, those would be cool places for quest stuff etc.
Yes, they could do 1 zone that is only or heavy flight. like the maw is heavy walking. All people will really like that. < sarcasm
But for real i think a anti maw zone could be fun. But again, it does not negate the problems other people have with it. ( some i agree with). Dive bombing for stuff, pvp in a unballanced realm share, it being just some floating boring islands. Not a real world building possible since there is no world. etc etc
Thank you btw. first person who responds with a real answer why they might need to do it from the start. You might be wrong in my opinion. But still thank you.
And let it be clear. I am not anti flying, i think the old time table of flying is to long of a wait.
But for me ( and others on this and other forums/forum threads). Some of the negatives outway the positives.
And we did classic and other expansions fine without flying. We do other games like this fine without flying.
And lets be real. If blizzard does it, people will still complain. Because the content is to boring because its just flying from a to b.
Or if they put in more tree's ( like duskwood) and stuff like that people will complain they can not easy fly through it of spot things.
But in the end my point in responding to this thread. The thread starter acts like he and other people like him where tricked. And that is just a false statement. blizzard did not trick them. They listened and made it easy ( and most likely) sooner to get flying. For the easy part with just renow is bs. whats next free gear, no more leveling. Its a mmo/mmorpg. Not fortnite.
