What is the point of rushing pathfinder 2?

[Aggrophobic]

here is a better idea,remove flying from the game for good,and stop making zones around flying aka water world

That would litteraly kill the game. Flying is one of WoWs most important features.

I'm talking like 1000-2000 gold tops.

It was 5k in BC.

This is what Blizzard is really good at, releasing stuff at intervalls that drag people back, so they resub (or stay subbed). It's buisiness, and they are damn good at it.

Not sure if they are or if people simply don't think it through. You can keep up with everything by subbing for only 4 months a year if you time your subs right. I have been doing it since MoP.

for epic flying, yes.

[Sylvaeres]

Since patch came ppl are rushing like mad to get it done,i just came online and on my guild chat ppl where berserk on farming that rep ,asking where and how to get it done faster and questioning everyone on the hidden stuff like fishing quests that gives rep etc.I am just in awe the last 7 days i cant believe you are rushing to get this achivement where you will get it overtime in the next week anyway.Where are you gonna fly once you get the pathfinder?For farming arch?no one is looking forward to that.Everything we do is instanced ppl,arenas ,mythic+,raids ,you dont need to get there faster its already .Cant be to do more WQs? I have a friend came back to wow just to get this achivement,like he doesnt even move from SW since spaming bgs and a random hc and goes off.
Not gona lie i am having a blast with the new patch and pvp in nazjatar can be good if its a even shard and mechagon feels fresh also,adding flying to it will cancel it all and it will be same as tanaan jungle .Am i in the wrong here? what am i missing if i logically play this game and get what i find interesting in this game anyway without being burned out?

Maybe we like flying? I've enjoy 8.2 more than I've enjoyed the rest of the expansion combined

[tacoloco]

for epic flying, yes.

Doh. Of course.

[Adoxe]

As one of the people who got it 3 days ago, honestly just because I like doing things like that, rushing a big "grind" and having something that stands out that very few other people have, if any, feels good even if just temporary. The only regret I have is not getting it even faster because I know I could've, just did a few things wrong.

Also, the faster it's done, the sooner you don't need to think about it anymore and can focus on other things.

People want to fly.

Blizzard should take the hint and 1) reduce pathfinder to 1 part, 2) have it completable no later than the .1 patch and 3) have the tasks be relevant to flight and not silly shit like rep.

They'll do none of this, of course

Speak for yourself. I may have rushed the shit out of it but it had nothing to do with my desire to fly or my opinion on flying in general. I'd probably prefer if it didn't exist.

I believe it would improve the game if we knew the game would not have pathfinder2 in the future.

[Kokolums]

The importance of rushing to Pathfinder part 2 is that, as people reach it, they will abandon Nazjatar and Mechagon and go do something else. That means the content will get increasingly more difficult as more and more players reach the goal. Therefore, the easiest way to complete it is to do it in the first wave. We cannot really know how much more difficult it will get to find groups to do stuff, but it will get harder.

No, you do not. You find it funny to annoy people on the internet but flying or no flying has zero impact on you or your enjoymet of the game as you never use it anyhow (I mean, no sane person would use flying if they found ground mounts more fun, right).

[clevin]

right. sure.

[cozzri]

Pathfinder is worse than attunement for old raids; which, by the way, those quests lines were actually fun to do. Pathfinder is just a laundry list of bullshit that I never attempted to finish since WoD, played a little in legion, and gave up on nightborn rep; unsubbed since. there isnt even an easy way to unlock flying for old content like wod or legion so whats the point? just give up you are so far behind in the game; find a new game; this is why wow is dying, the barrier to entry is getting too big for returning vet and new players....

[Noxina]

Why play the mininum you can though? Why don't you just quit if you don't enjoy it enough to stay subbed for more? What's the point?

Personally, BfA actually made me unsub for the first time in a long as time (think last time I actually cancelled my sub was back in Cata, due to IRL issues). Been playing since mid-vanilla.
Most of my ingame friends quit, my guild I've been in for ages died etc. So BfA just feels boring as shit to me, most likely due to not having the same playerbase to play with anymore.
Anyways, back to the thread; I, personally, just don't understand why people resub for something like getting Pathfinder 2, just to unsub again a month after because "I've done the 'content'". It's an MMO, it's about the gear grind and progression (well atleast for me, and everyone I've ever played with).
Just baffles me.

To be fair, a new player doesn't need flying in old content, and should do pathfinder in new contet because it actually just makes you play the game and do objectives.
Pathfinder isn't the reason WoW isn't getting millions of new players. It's becaues it is a game genre that the younger audience doesn't appeal to. Look at what they are playing; PUBG, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Auto Chess. They want 30minutes of high action packed fun, not grinding gear and AP.

[Gatto]

They messed up with TBC, by introducing flying mounts.

They should have simply replaced the gryphons/wyverns with gnomish/goblins teleports.
And the HS with a device to travel to them from whereever you are.

Then, once teleported, would have been up to you and your ground mount.

The problem here is imho not to fly or not, but the time lost.

[Skavee]

So I can get those *potential* bis healer essences for raiding. Yeah I need mecha/nazja rep for that... Flying is a bonus

Not flying is for suckers, we've had it for so long and the way they make maps and world quests just makes flying too good not to have.. i don't see why we are forced to wait half an expansion, should be introduced the first major patch imo.
FFXIV has flying after completing the zone its sooo much better.

[kaiba1]

Or they could have made Pathfinder into one big thing, for Part 1, sure Revered with everyone because it is the big rep grind after all which comes with the World Questing and generally following the story arc, for Part two, just complete the Story and the War Campaign up to current patch and BAM, you can fly, no need for a 2nd rep grind

[Schmilblick]

That's why I asked myself, the content is boring, the classes are boring, I guess I'm just doing it cause I still have 20 days on my token.

[Hinastorm]

It makes grinding AP WQ's much faster, which is relevant to everyone.

Ya...honestly im just playing to keep myself busy until classic mostly, im having alot of trouble being excited anymore. Live is super stale and needs a massive shakeup in some way.

[Bodonius]

Flying love it.
