Do we really need Flying Mount in this game?

[Nghthawk]

I'm not going to link to the WoW forums here, that would be bad form- but you can find the quote yourself (it's a blue post) by Googling "flying mounts draenor".
If you're going to comment on a thread, maybe add something useful to the conversation.

I would love to quote myself again for you but, WTF do you get off from talking about WoD (the content isn't even freaking released yet). From all of the prior expansion including BC/WoTLK/CATA/MoP you didn't get flying access until much later after you have been through the main story content or near max level or had to purchase a liscense. At no point did it allow you to actually skip over all the content. Having flying mounts here will be the same, it will not allow you to skip content.

Really, though- you should have read what I told you to first. The content may not be released, but the statements from Blizzard are there for you to read! They have even said there may never be flying in Warlords zones.

As for what you've just said? I was very recently levelling multiple classes in WoW. BC, WotLK and Cata content was breezed through with ease due to flying straight over 95% of mobs. I got bored at about the Pandaland content- admittedly i couldn't fly there yet as you need 90 for that.

"From all of the prior expansion including BC/WoTLK/CATA/MoP you didn't get flying access until much later after you have been through the main story content or near max level or had to purchase a liscense."

....Nope. Was there day one of Cata, picked up my Flight Masters Licence to fly in Azeroth. Skipped mass mobs to breeze to 85.

"At no point did it allow you to actually skip over all the content. Having flying mounts here will be the same, it will not allow you to skip content."

We're not saying it lets you skip content entirely- just skip through it a lot faster than is intended.

"Having flying mounts here will be the same, it will not allow you to skip content."

Gonna say to you what I said to the OP- you don't have all the facts of how this will be implemented- it may damn well let you do exactly what it did in WoW.

You might want to go back and read the post you are mentioning. Quote from Blizzard

We intend to disallow flying while leveling from 90 to 100, and have flying become available again in the first major patch for Warlords of Draenor.

I'm all for more transportation options. There's nothing stopping anyone who wants to stop and smell the roses from doing so to their heart's desires. By all means, take that leisurely stroll down loser's lane as fast as your* stubby taru legs can take you*. But if you* can only enjoy it if everyone else is slogging along with you* then maybe you* don't quite enjoy the simple life as much as you* think you* do.

More mounts, and no arbitrary restrictions or excessive time sink gates either! That's not fun. I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me.



* "You" in this instance does not refer to any specific poster. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Source of someone from Blizzard saying they may never add. States that there will be no flying at ship, and they will feel out the response and how it goes to decide whether they add flying.
I never said it was in the first article I quoted. I only said "They have even said there may never be flying".

Your comebacks are really drawing thin. By the way I just wanted to say good work on butchering your character name. No better way to be taken seriously in my books.

Well you're quite the spiteful, low blow throwing individual.
Just wanted to say that if they cared that much about flying mounts helping individuals level faster they might want to take a look at the instant level 90 potion they sell. I would think they should be more concerned with that making content skip able over flying mounts.
Or is it ok for you to skip content as long as they make more money as you do so?
