Remove pathfinder
Keep Pathfinder but remove the time-gating (available at launch)
Pathfinder is fine as-is
I would remove the rep gate.
Because it is account wide - it is still useful for those that don't like playing the game, so there is still some benefit for them.
- - - Updated - - -
Why - there is almost no effort required in the reputation side of it, because it doesn't require exalted and because rep doesn't need any grind these days - the rep is a trivial requirement.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
I want flying gone completely.
Pathfinder is a compromise. It's not perfect but it's something. Before the system was implemented, there was a poll that showed around 50% of players wanted flying and 50% were happy that it was gonna be removed in WoD. I hope it stays as is but if it were to be nerfed in favor of flying, us no flying players are gonna complain/riot/quit again till Blizzard changes it again.
That being said, a system I'd be willing to accept would be flying made less convenient. Ex. mounts need fuel that costs a lot of gold, no hovering(you have to keep moving forward), flak cannons everywhere. Well basically anything that makes flying less convenient or more difficult than riding but faster so you'd have the option to choose between 2 viable traveling methods and not be forced to fly if you wanna be practical.
Comprehension is hard I see?
Check bolded part, this is entirely incorrect assumption that came in from your lack of understanding.
Doing random shit in open world with flying is NOT fun.
But doing stuff that I consider fun in open world is just better with flying.
Now you understand the difference?
If not, another example.
World quests are not fun, flying or not (for me).
Secrets/battle pets are fun, but with flying they are even better.
No,
Thats the original message you responed to. Nowhere is a 2year waiting for getting flying for gold mentioned.Imo, pathfinder shouldve been availible right away as a reward for reaching exalted with all the factions. (and later in a .1 patch nerfed to only require revered so that new players arent forced to grind too much old content).
As with almost every other aspect of wow, its the timegating that annoys me. Not the grind. Im happy to grind, i hate waiting thou..
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.
I mean I hate the Pathfinder achievement as much as you and pretty much everybody else but if you seriously thought they were not going to add it in Shadowlands then you must not have been paying attention these past years. The Pathfinder achievement will be how you fly in new expansions now and for the foreseeable future. You're just going to have to get used to it, unfortunately.

I wish Pathfinder would just go away, the fact is the only thing they solved with this is to make reasonable if you were playing in TBC again with gold being a bit more difficult to come by. I mean the only complaint people really had about flying was max level players dropping on your head to gank you, so the honest solution is allow flying in the expansion not at a level. Then there was the cost complaint, which most people didn't really complain about it being expensive but more were complaining that they sucked at making gold.
Then they decided to give in and sell 310% instead of it being an award, then suddenly they took flying and locked it behind achievement when forcing us to walk was straight up hated.
i can't do private messages since i need 10 posts before i can do it. im one of those obnoxious players who cant wait.
Pathfinding is the cancer that the current World of Warcraft is built upon. It is the last Old God and will be the final boss of the game. Remove flying completely in the current expansion and only allow it when the next expansion is out. Solved. Flying had a purpose for TBC based on the world design. It no longer serves that. Increase ground mount speed and move on or design the zone around flying and allow it but only for that zone.
I feel strongly about this despite it being a necrolord bump.

I am fine with because its just now built into your natural game play you dont have to go out of your way to do it .
