    Ruined? You make it sound like world content at some point had any element of danger which is just untrue.

    This is common problem. Guys seek for danger in wrong content. If they want danger, they should do Mythic+ or Mythic Raids. If they want to do solo content, they should do Mage Tower or Torghast. But these guys constantly try to take content away from casual players instead, like if whole game should be designed personally for them.

    I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.

Getting caught at 10% health or ganged up on by a number of other players was something you could handle because the Jedi characters were that much more powerful than a normal character. But you could be beat so it kept you on your toes.

    All of this made it a choice, and it was an appealing choice. I suppose it really can't be explained to someone who didn't experience it but it was the most thrilling MMO experience I've ever had. Death in WoW has never meant a single thing other than a little time lost no matter the difficulty level. If you can just keep throwing yourself at something with no consequence then how can it really feel like it mattered?
    That isn't how being a jedi worked... the way you are describing was after it was changed and didnt have perma.

    Overcoming adversity means as soon as I explore the zone and complete the zone quests, I should be able to fly. And most of the pro-flight folks would accept that compromise. But in your argument, you have to overcome the adversity, then overcome it again, then again, and again, and again, and so on...basically Ground Hog's Day.

    That was what Blizzard said in WoD when they decided just to remove flight going forward. Basically saying that they were changing it so that we are never able to finish overcoming the adversity. That's what we reject.

    What they got wrong:

    • They took way too long to introduce flight. Should have been immediately after the zone is explored and the zone story is complete
    • All zones should have flying once their story is complete, including the Maw and Korthia

    What they got right:

    • Zereth Mortis, I think, is a good example of a zone done correctly. I'm grounded when I get there and going through the story, but once complete, I can now fly if I want to farm there.
    • I'm OK that you can't fly in Oribos. It's more of a city than a zone. I mean, I would have been OK with being able to fly there as well (like Dalaran and Shattrath), but it's small enough that I was fine with restricting flight there.

    "Should we have flying?" is the same question as "Should we have normal/heroic dungeons?" and "Should we have LFR?". Specific content just can't be casual and hardcore at the same time. Devs try to find what they think is the best compromise, but it's pointless, as compromise is bad for everybody. They should either: 1) Leave outdoor for casual players, cuz in most cases such players don't have any other options, while hardcores have lots of them 2) Finally solve this problem via implementing difficulty settings. That's it. What should be sacrificed - is factor of competition. I.e. that "Hardcore player would be pissed off, if casual player would get everything easier". Hardcore players play their own game. Higher difficulty - is their voluntary choice. They should compete with each other - not with poor casuals.

    I also predict the expac following Legion will be the last significant expac we will see in WoW.

    Lastly I predict that years from now when people discuss the death of WoW, WoD is going to be considered that catalyst for it.

    Ehhh. The most recent interviews say, that Dragonflying will be on a par with ordinal flying by mid xpack. This tells everything about this new feature. Forget about getting flying within month. It will be overstretched content again.

    And. I can't find this quote now, but I swear, I saw statement in some of recent interviews, that devs don't think about giving flying earlier during leveling. Big mistake. 30lvl is too late. May be they're too stubborn about constantly trying to show us, that half of this game is played without flying, but it's pointless to show it to me, as I know too well, how bad this game is without flying.

    No flying till 30 ruins my WOD leveling immersion. SL is very boring. Anima, gifts, mission table grinds are still too slow. ZM is boring as hell. Nothing to do after getting 246 gear, completing weekly quest and opening sand chest. I usually level alts during such xpack downtimes. But when I think about leveling to 30 without flying...it big no no for me.

    I've been doing ZM pretty religiously and I still don't have all the mounts. The pets I just bought off the AH but the mounts you have to make yourself and the genesis motes take a while to farm. Do you not consider collecting to be content? If no I find your sig very ironic.
    The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.

    I'm collector, but I don't collect just for sake of collecting. I collect only mounts I like. For example I don't need ground mounts at all. I'm not interested in pets and pet battles.

    Only viable goal in ZM for me - is class sets, depite of them being quite meh. What they require - are weekly quest, daily chest and pair of rares (I hate to camp rng spawns, waste of my time).

    I tried to grind Anima for 9.0 content. Still way too slow. 1-1.5k a day is joke. Whole SL is way too overstretched. I hope DF will be better.

    Then adding the danger back in is especially overdue.

    If you deliberately exclude content you don't get to say there's no content to do. That's just plain dishonest. It's like opening a fridge, not being in the mood for what's in it, and lying and saying it's empty.

    1 to 1.5k a day? You get 1 to 1.5k per zone these days. I'm just going to assume you never bothered to get all your sanctum features up to rank 3 to unlock to upgrades and never did the perk in Korthia to get bonus anima from every WQ. Then on top of that Korthia is ~3k a day. ZM another 3k if you don't chest farm.

    You literally didn't do any of the content which increases the anima gains you earn, then complain that the gains are too low.

    Before TBC there were lots of outdoor elite areas. Razorfen Downs and Blackfathom Deeps actually had mini dungeons outside them before you got to the instance portal. Hinterlands had a literal troll city that was what dungeons would be in WoW if they weren't instanced.

    Watch some alpha videos or something. How is dragonflying going to be on pat with normal flying, when it's already twice as fast. It's extremely fast. Normal flying doesn't even compare.

    So no, you're actually getting a much better deal.

    Player doesn't have to do 100% content, if he doesn't like some parts of it. SL has lots of content, but at the same time it's 2nd xpack in a row, where this content is structured so badly, that Blizzard themseves literally block this content for me.

    Parts of content, I'm interested in:
    1) Covenant sanctum - major xpack's content, too overstretched, anima grind is too slow for me.
    2) Mission table - too overstretched, it has taken 3 months of grinding Necromancer Lair just to get to more or less interesting missions. What player would bear so long boring gating?
    3) Class sets - too overstretched, just 70/week+40/day. It's bearable for me just because I have same class alts.

    Maw and Korthia? No flying and implicit group requirement kill this content for me. No flying is obvious. Implicit group requirement is MMOish, but it automatically kills content, when it obsoletes. Completing content later on undergeared alts? Nah, it's dead, cuz major currency income comes from rares and they aren't soloable.

    That Poc-poc thing? Yeah, Blizzard tried to pull Pepe's card here. But it's not interesting for me. Yeah, I've completed Garrisons on around 25 characters, but have never found any Pepes.

    So, when I log in, I just ask myself, what should I do now. And I can barely find answer for this question.

    What amount of time will it take for it to turn from quick gliding to actual flying?

    I just find humour in the irony that it's probably the same people bitching about how brain dead WoW has become that want the return of brain dead normal flying.

    It already is actual flying. You just got to press press a couple of buttons.
