I agree! Well said.
I don't mind it. I'd rather do the pathfinder once to unlock flying for all characters in the future instead of having to do it multiple times. Also, to those who wonder why flying isn't avaliable at start: it's because Blizzard wants to you to EXPLORE THE WORLD THEY CREATED! Not just flying from point A to point B to get what you want without even trying.

When they say "earn" the parrot mount, does that mean we get it as part of the pathfinder achievement or will it be locked behind something else that will take more time to get?
Only one faction.
I think it would be better if those reputation grinds unlocked flying for the associated zones, whereas Zuldazar and Kul Tiras zones unlocked on launch or after a short questline. It's frustrating to grind your way up to Revered or Exalted with all the BFA factions, as well as exploring all zones, only to be told you now have to grind these NEW zones & factions in order to fly in the first ones.Blizzard just can't seem to get it right these days. Ah well, at least it's account-wide instead of each character.
Why lock it behind rep?Rep grinding takes time and time = subscriptions.They don't really want anyone to have flying until right near the end of the expansion anyway, I think.

I really like the new mounts coming People moan at rep needed for flying bloody hell kids go back home! Not everything is given to youIm kinda glad it as took this long for flying as it always Annoyed the gold incoming with herbs and so on just means herbs and mining will go down in price in patchI really enjoy farming rep so after farming rep for flying and getting this achievement and be able to fly is a good reward IMO Thank for all the updates blizzard so far I'm very happy with what is coming in next patch
I like it. Creating a system that requires us to earn flying is very good character building. Personally, I have enjoyed exploring on the ground. I work all day and then enter Azeroth in the evening. It releases my mind from unavoidable pressures irl. So to have all this time of months and months of questing and exploring on foot, to then be able to fly....it's all the more enjoyable. And remember, it is at that moment that we may all stop exploring slowly through story line, and lose the magic that we all keep coming back into Azeroth for. I say thank you, all you game masters and busy bees in Anaheim, for the adventure of a lifetime!.
Earn your flying don't expect it to be handed to you, it makes people actually have to play the game to earn it instead of just being rich, and i enjoy the 2 part system keeps casuals out.
cya later, they won't change it and stay gone
