You have my blessing.
If the game is stressing you and becoming a “must do” thing or better “A WORK” just cancel your sub, get some fresh air, try something different. A GAME is supposed to give you fun, not duties 
That’s why I’ve deleted my subscription 4-5 years ago for this and other reasons, now I’ve resubbed, haven’t bought the last two expansions, doing some random quests at times, not giving a damn about anything, just waiting for some classic pvp. Enjoy whatever suits you better!

If you have just Mechagon…
The special quest gives 850, the parts in WM gives 200.
You can do the parts while you do the 850 quest.
1000 rep/day for 15-20(rarely) minutes of playing. Guaranteed these numbers work out.
I have to farm the dps essence at rank 3 for my dh, and I refuse the eternal hamster wheel so I decided ill just do this every day for as long as it takes.
I combine it with herbs farming which I need copious amounts of to support my 3 played chars with flasks/pots.
I wonder what all the people loudly declaring “I’m quitting retail cos I can’t fly so Im going to classic” will do when they find out Classic won’t even have an option to fly.
Oh. Two VERY relevant (despite what ever mental vomit mixes with rage induced foam and snot bubbles running down your chin has you expunging)…

Flying is OPTIONAL!

The only reason you want flying is to simply avoid everything Blizzard has worked on blissfully ignorant of the irony when you bleat about content. So what you really want, when in the same breath you complain about being spoonfed or even more hilariously, you climb on your high horse and look at someone’s armory then try to score a point with a dig at welfare gear, you actually want the same. Ive read the same tired old drivel from the usual suspects two at least popped in here to give their usual tearfest of why THEIR (remember that it’s important to the context) WoW experience is dead (but they’re still giving Blizz sub money despite telling everyone they were quitting months ago) and if you don’t like what they do you’re killing wow for everyone. How very arrogant of you.
And lastly Blizzard has been losing subs since day one. Of Vanilla. People quitting doing something because they can’t be bothered to spend some time doing it, and that is basically the entire problem, they just can’t be bothered despite whatever spin they put on it, has been a thing even waaaaaay back in the dawn of human interactions with stuff.
But by all means. If you think WoW is dead because you have to do a little bit of land travelling while either having to avoid or fight things trying to put a dent in your armour, leave.
But never be under the delusion you are so important to Blizzard that they have an emergency meeting because you’ve written a “Give me flying or else Blizzard” post on a forum.
And like I have said countless times. Flying should have started and ended in TBC. Or perhaps Blizzard should implement flying from day one next expac and just have you constantly looking at a white screen with nothing in it. Because that’s basically all flying in a video game is. Lets you simply avoid all the work they spent time working on. But then again You probably don’t regard that as content either.
“You” is meant as in sense of the collective, not anyone in particular

yes im doin this way (i like mechagon. i think is one of the most interesting zones in the late wow
Im really happy to be near the goal. After with the classic release ill take a hiatus from retail to come back near the end of BFA to farm achievement (with flyin is faster) and old ones.
And finally ill have steady fun
PS: i never ever quitted cuz i didnt have flyin.
Or I just have more fun myself with flying than without, not caring about others at all, while going out in the world doing my emissary and some nazjatar/mecha (world)-quests. I really do not care about how other people do their herbings.
Meh, i will unlock it as painful as it is. I am already 7/12k Unshackled and 11/12k Rustbolt.

Flying is nice to have, esp. for when leveling alts and in general it saves a lot of time+makes things more relaxed.
You can take it at a relaxed pace or grind it hard. I grinded hard and burnt out a little with the forced daily routines into the two new zones. Glad to have it done. I don’t mind the path finder setup.
Not long to go, hope you get it soon ^^
I get it but flying is not content, it is s convenience by definition.
Also you arent losing it. Before BFA you couldnt fly in BFA content either…

There were questions about flying a lot earlier in BFA too. Like this from November 2018.
The first I found when I fast searched the forum. There were probably also topics and questions about getting flying earlier in bfa. There are people who have more fun with than without flying. So sure we did Bfa content without flying, but that does not mean we did not wanted or were not missing it during those times.
For you it is convenience, for some others it is more.

When zones are designed around flying, flying is essential to appreciate the zone as it was meant to be played. Take Nazjatar for example. All those drops and cliffs etc. it’s a very vertical zone, and without flying it’s just painful to play, especially when you’re under-geared.
If flying had never been added to the game at all, ever, then Nazjatar and all the other zones in BfA would look and play very differently.
So no, flying is NOT just a luxury or convenience, it’s an integral part of the game which is designed around flying.
Also, most people going into Classic will know that a. it does not have flying, and b. the landscapes, buildings etc. were not designed around flying, and it won’t be an issue.

Yeah, I too enjoyed my time playing Classic, happy to see you did as well.
I too would be pretty upset if the game wasn’t all that amazing, and then feeling like having to do chores (Not enjoyable tasks, but chores) in order to start flying? Well… Kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Funnily enough, I think some of those people would find Classic to be far more enjoyable. They might not do things very quickly yes, but will probably have more of a fulfilling time with it.
X.
Very much this. You know zones from the old world? Yeah they aren’t exactly built with multiple slopes and canyons everywhere to funnel people down one specific road to get back up, but navigation through them came with you reading the quest text, looking at the map and then figuring out from the two where you might need to go. And exploration helps as well.
Not sure if this is a threat because you feel spiteful towards Classic, or if this is a troll.
Again, I wonder if those people will feel more happy with how Classic does questing… Hopefully they do.
That will practically kill the Retail version of the game. Good idea.
I think that’s been the case since… I don’t know, Cataclysm? Or when ever they introduced quest tracking.
Thank heavens for Classic, am I right?
What more is it then? With specificity
Complains flying is too tedious/hard/timetaking to get, then says it would be fine if you could grind mobs for rep.

It is adding a lot more fun. You can go to spots you could not go before and the world is also more beautiful from above.
I can only speak for myself here, but for me it is part of my class. It is my flying form and also nowadays also my class mount (that i am not able to use at all when flying is not released). For me it is about the feeling of taking off and flying where ever i wish. Being a shapeshifter and living the life of it. I am a roamer, spending most of my time in the open world doing anything i feel like that moment, everything from fishing to questing or to randomly grinding mobs or exploring places. Sometimes i just sit on somewhere high as a bird and watch things and chat with my friends. When no pressure from pathfinder i don’t even know what i am going to do when i log in the game, i just take off and fly and see where i end up to that day.

There were BIS enchants behind some of those dailies so to say they were ‘optional’ is rose tinted glasses at it’s best.
Interesting, i admit i had not considered that it interfers with the idea of class fantasy. As a druid that is probably pretty miserable…
Fair enough on that point, for that class, i think you have a good point.
Though i would say the idea of a druid paying gold to learn to fly under any circumstances is kinda wrong. Though this is all past relevent only though
Thank you for understanding! I agree about paying gold thing too, originally we got flying forms via quests but after that it was either gold or pathfinder. Fantasywise it does feel silly that druid would need to pay to keep using her own forms in new environment but i quess it’s just fair considering everyone else had to pay as well.
As i said they were optinal and those rewards were not as huge as lets say “flying”. Also can you link that bis enchants from the Argent tournament ?
