Legion technically didn't have one, but getting pathfinder was a prerequisite to unlocking the class mounts.
I think that perhaps they'll remove them for the Big Squish so that you can fly at your leisure when leveling wherever you want.
They'll probably keep flying disabled for first-time players though.
I don't see them doing that as flying is required for Cata. They might add a gold cost for flying in each expansion though.
Same. Have them all. Would give zero shits if they just gave them all to everybody tomorrow.
I think at least current content Pathfinder ends up being a massive retention tool though, same with Allied Races.
I'm semi-OK with a small fee for character services, but man is it ever egregious how high the costs are.
It's going to cost me $70 CDN to faction and server transfer a character so that I can play with my horde buddies on a new server. Meanwhile, it's only $5 more to buy a boost outright. wtf

Same! I couldn't care less who kills what first these days but their stream was actually really fun to watch, and honestly they kept getting fucked by bugs so it was nice to see them actually win.
The guy that manages their gold and BoEs was on stream recently and said he ~500 million gold total available to him if he needed it. He also estimated Limit and Method's combined BoE bill to be well in excess of 500 million.
The BoE market is always a big deal for these guilds, but with the addition of corruption (and the power level of correct corruptions far outstripping the power level of titanforging) it got really insane, apparently.
We should Start using brontosaur as money métric.
50 brontos sounds better than 250 M
They either have to remove pathfinder requirement from all old content or none, anything else doesn't make sense. The way leveling in 9.0 will be setup is that we'll be able to level 1-50 in all non-Shadowlands zones. So if some zones require massive grind to unlock flying majority of players will not want to level in those zones.
I mean, they don't really have to worry about that either since you're locked to leveling through BFA the first time through anyway. They can keep flight the way it is or change it, but other expansions don't have to factor into that at all yet.
Well I wouldn't see you picked the best time ever to resub, but it's at least the best time since the launch of BfA. Mechagon and Nazjatar are pretty cool, they just wear out their welcome after a couple of weeks.
No zones require flying to level through, so they could keep it exactly the same as it is now, it wouldn't matter. Now, they should change anything from before BFA anyway, but if they don't then they don't.
Icecrown, Storm Peaks and most Cata zones actually do require flying, but they're the only notable exceptions here. MoP's course correction on level design stuck ever since at least, so nothing else requires flying outside of explicitly endgame areas.
Sorry I was talking about Pathfinder expansion zones, all of those others you can just buy flying and be ready to go.
I returned to WoW about a year ago. So I do have BfA pathfinder achievement but I don't have any of the previous ones. So when I want to level an alt in 9.0 I'll be able to fly in all legacy content at level 30 except WoD and Legion zones (I'm assuming this will be the new flying level as everything gets halved?). That would be really strange system.
It's no different than it is now, though. You can hit max level and have run through every expansion, but if you missed doing something for Legion pathfinder then you can't fly there even though you might be able to in Draenor and BFA.
It's a weird system in general, although it's no different than what it is currently. If you have BFA pathfinder but not WoD or Legion you still can't fly in those zones. Pathfinder in general is just kind of dumb, I don't get the hate they have for flying, once people get through the zones the first time I don't really need to walk or use ground mounts anymore. I doubt it's going to change though as it's one of the few things they haven't budged on in terms of player feedback. I get exalted with every faction in the game anyway so in the end it's not a huge deal to me, but I just hate that it takes until like the 3rd major patch for it to unlock.
They gated the fucking Uldum egg/wasp mount quest line behind a pet battle.
I've been doing these damn things every day for a couple weeks and now I need to do a pet battle to proceed... which I have ignored for years. Fuck them.
It's a dumb thing but I think this ends my WoW revisit after a couple months. I've really struggled to find a place since my friends are raiding Mythic (not happening) and doing M+. I can do the latter fine but I can't catch my friends gear-wise so they either drop down to a level I can handle or carry me. Neither is rewarding.

I suspect flying is one of those things that the dev team in retrospect thinks is a mistake but that they can't put the genie back into the bottle.
Also old expansion flying should just inherently be unlocked when you get flying from a newer expansion at this point. I can't fly in draenor and you can't convince me to ever use that area because of that.

That sucks. I'm a huge pet battler and it's easy to 2 pet this one if you have the right pets. I think if you miss it, you only lose one day? So maybe just skip this daily and do the others.
All you need is an Zandalari Kneebiter and an Unborn Val'kyr and you can do all of them easily. I know it sucks, but if you are willing to get those two pets you can do it, you can also just skip the pet battle quests and just do the other one where you fight mobs with pet instead, it will take longer but still possible to do without ever doing a pet battle.
Oh ok well maybe I'm overreacting. I thought I was stuck on this particular quest rather than it being a rotating thing. I did pet battles during 1 xpack but literally have like 2 decent pets. I'm not getting into it again.
It still doesn't solve the greater issues I have with the game but am sort of in a spot where I think I will finish this mount and Legion flying, then stop. I might finish the class quests from Legion.
The M+ thing bugs me because I love doing them but A) I don't know the dungeons well and B) ilvl.
Learning them is tough because shit melts on heroic and my gang is into 15+ stuff where I cap around 11 or so if we're going to complete them ahead of the timer. I was starting to close the gear gap but now they are getting items from the heroic and mythic raid.
It's also possible to do with just a Dream Whelpling or a Green Protowhelp, but there's a fair bit of luck involved with that too.
I may actually read this one. Was the previous novel any good?
Also, wow, these generic-ass titles.
The summary details are interesting. Some big characters involved.
As a general rule, none of the pre-expansion novels are good. They mostly exist to explain why characters turn bad or who that non-Thrall character in the cinematic was.
They're sometimes enjoyable pulpy reads, but don't go in expecting anything with a semblance of reason.

They're decent. The Jaina Proudmoore one was pretty good in particular and was a big part in my wife and I deciding to name our daughter Jaina.
I can't believe they put stuff like this in the book instead using it as a bridge to shadowlands
I was thinking about reading the lord of the rings, but now I am thinking about - once again - reading these wow books.
I haven't personally done it, but I've heard that the Faction Assault world quests that are up once or twice a day give great XP / time and also (I think) provide you with a moderate XP buff afterwards. Wowhead has the schedule for them on its front page.
No kidding. I just can't take doing those dailies. Think I'm around 1/3 through honored with both factions and I was just ready to give up. Think I can stick it out for revered.
yeah i was already running out of steam on that shit. Exalted was ridiculous.
