*sigh* I miss the days where we could BUY our flying. I'm only 2/11 in Suramar because I keep getting caught by the illusion piercers, and that place is NOT for hunters.

I'm on the other side of the argument. I'm glad flying was set back at the start, really gives us a good feel of the expansion and its content. After flying is implemented, lots of content will be trivialized, for example you can simply fly over Suramar City avoiding all enemies.

But, I'm glad you have to get all the content out of the way first in order to get flying.

I like the content too, but not when it comes at the expense of time that could be spent getting something else done. Gating flying is just Blizzard's way of making more money by forcing players to extend their subscriptions.

Um Komodo, you realize that that is Exactly The Point right? It's about putting their art ahead of your comfort.

What you don't seem to think of is that it has always been that way. Back in the day when you had to pay to get your flying ability, you had to grind your gold because it wasn't as easy as it is today. They always was a grinding part to get it and now it is by getting reputation because everyone have a ton of gold.

To put relative gold costs into perspective, would you be OK with flying costing around 5 million gold?
