A while back on ExtremeTech, I barked about why I thought World of Warcraft sucked. Well I’m happy to report that some (but not all) of my complaints have been answered by Blizzard. In fact, World of Warcraft doesn’t suck nearly as much as it used to and here’s why.

#5 Cold Weather Flying At Level 68
Blizzzard has announced that level 80s will soon be able to buy a new heirloom that they can give to their level 68 alts. This is fantastic for those wanting to level faster as the ability to fly will help speed things along considerably from using a ground mount.

Just to confirm, Tome of Cold Weather Flight is actually a new heirloom item planned to go into patch 3.2. At level 80 players can buy this heirloom item from the Cold Weather Flying Trainer in Dalaran for 1,000 gold and send it to an alt of the same realm, faction and account. The tome can be used to learn Cold Weather Flying at level 68, consuming the tome in the process.

I disagree on the cost of 1,000 gold though, that’s far too high. It should be no more than 500 gold. Lowering would encourage people to level more alts up to 80 and would improve the end-game for everybody. The more classes there are available for raiding and PVP at level 80, the better the overall ultimately will be.

Hopefully Blizzard will move to cut the gold requirement back to 500 as quickly as possible.
