I'm guessing a racial mount for Chua, I'm imagining an orbitron with lawnmowers attatched to the front. "If it needs to be built and it has to hurt people, the Chua are the ones for the job"

The devs also said they would shut the game down before going f2p. Well, here is f2p and the game is still up. Things always change. Heck, even look at GW2. They said they would never add raids to their game and I guess they are adding them in their new expansion.

Jumping puzzles and exploration - yes. I remember just running around grimvault exploring when I stumbled upon a little secret area with some fun lore and even had to drag a friend (who was lvl 22 lol) out to help me solve it. With flying those discoveries are just not going to be there, or aren't going to be as fun to find. And yeah, any jumping/exploration stuff is just done. Why do it while leveling? Wait till 50, fly, and finish anything. It's so easy to move around WS - instant teleports to every zone, and every daily quest hub in the major cities. Quick taxies, fast mounts, and now even teleportation if you wanna drop some gold. I do love the idea of little space missions or flight areas where we get some spaceships to go flyign around nexus - but actually on the ground? Nah.

Why would you be out in a lower level zone on a level capped character? You're also assuming that a level capped player won't start a new alt, Cataclysm introduced two new races for people to play, hell I made two of each. You can't fly until you hit at least level 60, people levelling new characters and alts are going to see everything from the ground, there's no flying over anything. Why is there thise huge incorrect assumption that flying equals skipping content when you have to do the content to get to flying in the first place, it is absurd.

I think it might be one of those things you had to witness to understand. It came down to Pro flyers vs anti flyers with people raging on both sides. The arguing over the issue actually was becoming more important to those people than playing the game. Many people left the game over it. All in all it was not good for a community that already had enough issues.

It was brought back up just before early access started, people wanted to know why it had been shot down. Devs did consider it for a brief moment but it was shot down again. They did say they would listen to the player base but since the first discussions it's always been a big no from the community. Some people do want it but the majority didn't. We do talk about it every so often but the original plans were shut down long before most of us got here. I didn't get involved until early 2014 and flying had been axed long before I arrived. I've seen it brought up about 3 times during the months I visit the forums. The community does seem largely against it now though. I have to admit, i'm not keen on the idea of flying. It's not needed and doesn't add anything worthwhile. It's a waste of resources and dev time that needs to go elsewhere. I'd much rather have new content than flying over old content. The problems the game has need fixing long before either of those are discussed properly again though.

What part of "They said they won't add it, but crybaby fanbase cried in the forum and they added it later" I said you don't undestand?

I did, and it was just a bunch of WoW dragon mounts or something. Then I typed in "flayed man" and got much more gruesome results. I blame Tex.

The part where you assumed I was psychic or had a photographic memory and remembered every word of every post in the thread. You replied to me with nothing but a link to an old 3rd party interview with somebody I've never heard of where they said flying mounts wouldn't be added. I could only assume from your well written and thought out post that you were under the impression that flying was never added to Dreanor. Congratulations on making a vague post that was misinterpreted, this is why we use our words. I was never aware of that interview, and in all likelyhood it was an intentional feeling of the waters to see what kind of reaction they would get. I doubt they ever really planned to renege on their existing expansion promises that were repeated to us over and over before and after the expansion release.
