Hello? Can you read? They didn't take issue with you disliking it or posting it, just that it's idiotic to ask for its removal just because you somehow had a control setup that was *that* bad.

I play with controller and find flying extremely easy.. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong.

What an odd request.

It was pretty tedious... but after unlocking flying with four characters, I'm pretty over it. They at least bumped the quest currents up to the front of quest chains. I wish they'd get rid of the quest ones all together. I didn't mind searching for the currents, but having to do dungeons or quests I actually found more annoying.

I play with a controller and find it super easy to use. double tap jump and hold it to go up and descend button to go down. Don't know wtf else you want to make it easier. You can even dive bomb with left stick click to go straight down. And even move the camera up to fly up and move it down to go down. I dunno wtf you're using but it's super easy already with a controller.

I think OP mean the camera control. Looking around without changing direction or high.

How can you have trouble with the controls? O.o They're so simple a baby could do it.

Let it die with Heavensward, never continue it's need please.

UPDATE: I've explored flying with a keyboard and mouse and the controls of flying are fine, but with a controller they are pretty bad and not enjoyable. Also other reasons I dislike flying still stand, such as zone design which I did elaborate on later in this thread. (Sorry for going into detail originally)

I disagree

Me too. Not sure how anyone could have trouble with it unless they've never played a video game in their entire life.

Nitpicking...Wow is it bad.
