I like the riding skill change a lot. Mainly because I never remember to buy the riding skill when I reach the level and just keep running around :D I also keep forgetting to put my skill points to use too...

I started playing when Shadowlands just came up, so I have almost none of the allied races unlocked. I've been looking forward to doing that, but just haven't found the time to do that. I suppose all the quests etc. will stay in the game, but now there's less incentive to do them.

I'm still waiting for the cross-faction play in open world and queued instances too, but maybe that's coming in the future too.

Would have love to get this earlier. Payed this on all my character. 🤣.

Next UP ? A flying herloom mount ?

I sometimes feel that the reputation system in WoW has gotten out of hand. I'm glad that new players will just have the races available to them

Removing requirements for allied races was long due IMO, it doesn't make any sense to have to grind so hard in old xpacs.

It doesn't feel treason to me, I got almost all of them already but I gave up on the last few, glad those who don't have them yet don't have to go through all that slog, a game is meant to be fun after all.

As for riding, I wish they gave refunds lol, I spent an insane amount of gold to unlock fast flying on all my chars, many of them when you still had to pay twice for it, tho it's nice not having to pay anymore.

I think I'll miss trainers though, I know some people might think they're unnecessary, but it adds to the RPG aspect having to talk to an NPC to learn something new IMO.

I'm also impressed about the extension of the warlock to so many new races.

In general, I think they're killing it with dragonflight, it's been quite a long time since I had so much fun for so long after an xpac release.
