No flying in 5.0: Would it be better?

[Wilford111]

You could just...not fly you know? You have that choice.

Have you even been reading this thread? Nobody *just* wants flying taken away and that's it. It's that we're dissatisfied with how the maps are designed, and how boring it is to traverse through them.

Could have picked a better thread title then. I think the maps look fine personally and quite interesting to traverse. When I am levelling I can take in all the sites and figure out the lore of certain areas from side quests. I saw some people give the comparison to Eureka, but Eureka is a small map. It only seems big because you have to walk everywhere at the start. When you get your mount you notice how tiny it is and why they could have that much detail.

Expansion maps need to hold side quests, main quests, potential locations for gathering, beast tribes, dungeon entrances and landmarks for NPCs with aetherytes. Eureka just holds monsters so they didn't need to think about much when it came to the design of the map. Overall, I don't think anything needs to be changed. I think they got better filling them up compared to HW and I can see them maybe doing more in the next expansion potentially.
