The latest patch for World of Warcraft is currently on the public test server and brings not only the long-awaited flying feature but also a controversial solution for those who have been waiting too long for a PvP match.
Finally Free
On the test server, players can currently try out flying and finally take to the skies with their mounts. While there are still some issues in certain zones, the developers are working hard to fix these in the coming weeks to provide a smooth flying experience on the live servers – provided that players have completed the necessary achievement by then.
The Hammer Method – Betray Your Faction
The drama is as old as World of Warcraft itself: one faction rushes into the battlegrounds, while the other endures dreadful queues of often several hours. Blizzard has already taken many measures to address these issues and has now found a solution. If one side is seriously lacking players, an NPC appears in your faction’s camp, hiring you as a mercenary for the opposing faction. You can temporarily switch factions to participate in the PvP action! This definitely results in drastically reduced wait times, even though many fans are already complaining that this undermines their sense of belonging to their own faction.
Whether one views this option as a miracle solution or unconditional surrender is up to each individual.
