No Flight? Not a problem!

I have heard many people complain about not being able to fly until 6.1.  Come on people, this isn't the first time we've had to wait until we could fly.

Burning crusade was the expansion that brought us flying. For most classes you had to wait until level 70, the level cap, to get flying. Unless of course you were a druid. If so you got it at level 68.

So then we come to Wrath of the Lich King. Flying was again taken from us until level 77.

Cataclysm was apparently the exception in which you could get the Flight Master's License from the get go.

Mists of Pandaria comes out .. and guess what ... no flight until level 90.

So out of 4 expansions its 3-1 in favour of having to wait until some point of time to be able to fly. And I like it this way, it feels like it means something to actually obtain flight.

And really, is flying that big of a portion of the game? You can do 99% of what you need to do, without your flying mounts. The 1%? Getting around.

So really, why are people trying to boycott or say they are going to boycott a game? Just play the game. Have fun. There is so much to enjoy in this game. Flight just enhances the experience. It doesn't make it. How many people played the game before Burning Crusade? We didn't have flight then.

So long folks.
