What I'm asking for is to reduce to the bare minimum the time spent flying. Blizz already is taking steps in this direction like porting you to Battlegrounds or when 3.3 comes, to the dungeon directly. Why not increase the taxi mount speed to say 400 or 500%? Just increase price. Or establish a portal service that's even more expensive. MOneysinks help balance realm economy anyways.Kurnakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474173104387646680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566812856818816172.post-54426667326365737042009-10-29T13:55:20.552+01:002009-10-29T13:55:20.552+01:00Maybe I just misread this post, but you do know th...Maybe I just misread this post, but you do know that we will be able to fly in the old world, come Cataclysm?<br />Seems that will get rid of these problems :)Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566812856818816172.post-14018529685262568112009-10-24T16:46:12.863+02:002009-10-24T16:46:12.863+02:00Hm, I actually like long flights to a certain exte...Hm, I actually like long flights to a certain extent. They provide a sort of natural break during the game, to go get a drink, have a bio break or whatever, yet without feeling that you're missing out on something. Even in places where I could fly myself (and all my alts have epic flying skill) I often just hop on the automatic flight path and then go AFK for a bit because it feels like less hassle to me.<br /><br />And I really don't think we need any more portals, once you make it to Dalaran or even Shattrath, you get access to portals to all the important places anyway. Too many of them kind of take away all sense of distance.<br /><br />I'll concede that Feathermoon Stronghold is annoying to get to though. :P I often just settled for swimming instead of waiting for the boat in that case (you get a fatigue bar but if you aim correctly you'll arrive on the other side before you actually die from it).Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.com
