I said WAYYYY earlier in this thread that for every person crying about quiting, there would be another person resubbing for the same reason.
Technically since they confirmed no flying in 6.1, we can expect to see Superman's pics about his account deletion. That was his promise.
I'll just think we'll have to see. Unsubbing without even trying the new content is kinda... silly in my opinion. I play on a pvp server and i think there is going to be a blood bath.
CPU :- AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
Ram :- 32GB GeIL super luce rgb 3000Mhz
Mobo :- TUF 570x wifi
GPU :- Strix 2080ti OC
Cooling :- NZXT z73 Kraken 360
But why can't I compare it? If I don't care about raiding, why can't I skip it? If you care enough about raiding you will raid anyway, have some willpower man. Why do you care what others do? The option to play it your way is still there. Don't force me to do something I find boring just to be able to get gear. I paid for this game too!!
Okay so I don't actually want to buy gear, but this is what it sounds like when you get told you still can use your groundmount while others fly. It doesn't matter if you only use traveling for fun and being out in the world isn't the "real" end content for you. For a lot of people that is the endgame and what they enjoy.
I hope they leave it out the whole expansion if they have done the proper design work.
There isn't anything which flying brings to the game beyond aesthetics and trivial personal pursuits.
Already refunded and unsubbed all 3 accounts. If flight is not instated in 6.1, you will get to see the account deletions, the email to blizz, and me waving happily from my new MMO. I'm not going to hand them $400 on the off chance that flying is coming back.
However, like also stated earlier in this thread. If flying IS instated in 6.1, the very MOMENT I am back on my mount, you will get a screen cap of that and this:
And then, in Swift flight form, I will buzz the tower of the nearest Horde base and start some World PvP in celebration (a feature I despise).
They probably just wanna see how people react and if they refuse to adapt to it, they will surely bring it back. Blizz always sticks to the majority
That is a design discussion.
I've not been a fan of profession gathering since tbc and even then it wasn't super awesome funtime show. It was at least viable for certain areas and frankly seemingly offered better personal progression than it has since Cata. Wrath had some decent perks as well, but since Cata and the refocus of all flying all the time, the whole needing to farm for 10 hours a week hoping from 1 node to the next, with a 3 second flight cast each time, isn't "fun" or "immersion."
The reason why the "numbers" are so high for the topics you listed is arguably directly related to the travel system they are tied too. We didn't have flying on the Isle nor on Tb and yet there were several dailies and people did them constantly (still.) Quel offered an extremely nice "even playing field" which many people were obscenely thankful for given the imbalanced playing field with flying and classes during TBC.... looking at Paladins and Druids here.
I was more speaking to mount collection as a trivial pursuit. It does provide fun to the user but it isn't an actual progression. I think flying mounts are fun and interesting, but I do not think they are "needed" either. Again, it completely rests on design.
Also dailies were once one of the primary gates to getting flying. It was designed this way and it worked.
Wildstar, and SWTOR. Flying is a big deal... but not removing features from my game is a BIGGER one. So, If I want to fly, I will have my mount in Wildstar, or Aion, or a select few others. Either way, I will be paying for a service that is not REMOVED from my game, but still charged for. After 8 years, they want to take it in a backward direction, they can have it. They swore for years the reason they never wanted Classic only servers is because they believed in progress. Removing flying mounts is REgress. I'm not going to pay to play on a Vanilla/WoD realm. They wanna add flying back in with 6.1, I will be back, if not, they can enjoy the view as I walk away

Someone understands. Thank you.
Flying is not the main reason people aren't helping each other. The main reason people aren't helping each other is because it's actively disencouraged by the game. WoW's tagging system is terrible, outdated, and leads to egoistic gameplay.
If people got XP and loot whenever they helped someone kill something, everybody would help each other out and kill stuff together. Just like it works when you're in a party, except you wouldn't need to be in a party.
So why not start with that, and instead attack flying? People still won't help each other even if they can't fly, they never did that, because they won't get contribution.
Me too, but you didn't answer my question whether the removal of city portals in Cata, and the removal of HGWT made you do more exploring than before.

Oh I sure hope you are firmly against and protesting the paid lvl 90s for $$$.
