To do a little advertising in whatever way you could to snag or entice more people in to trying your wonderful game, here's why:
 
I don't know about any of you, as a fellow WoW (now ex) player what the lead developer just announced, Flying in WoW's future is done, and the customer base is pretty peeved. A thread reaching 100 pages in less than 6 hours, and almost at 300 as i'm typing this. WoW has already lost 30% of its player base in 3 months, and with this announcement and the amount of is only gonna increase, and now would be the time to try and do ANYTHING to get some people over here and keep improving the populace. This outrage from it's player base surpasses that of its REAL ID fiasco, and is on the verge of the SWG meltdown of bioware.
 
So i ask, please carbine, i know it may be tough, but ANY advertisement, now would be the time.

			lol WoW with this expansion dropping subs with the speed of light. first 3 milion under a few monthsand now there is a giant shit storm over this and thousands are unsubing i bet even milions.im happy. Blizz slowly kill that game. was about time.

			they are planning something, just a few days ago various streamers did a Q&A for the carbine devs to teach them how to do a sucesfull stream. seems like the devs of the game will want to jump into twitch to show us the dangerous planet nexus and all its perks

			I really wish it were easy to talk this game up, even when it's so damn fun for me.  I just get stuck explaining that no, the game doesn't suck; no, it's not the same as launch; no, it's not a WoW clone... over and over and people just don't want to hear it.	
----
			I just talk about the dungeons. And then IF people mention the crappy parts of the game that were in at launch (they usually do) I explain how it's different now.

I think what frustrates me more than anything is wildstar just seems to have a rabid "fanbase" of haters out there that just down talk every positive thing you try to say.
 
And they do this with outdated information from problems at launch. I cant understand disliking a game so much that you refuse to let people say anything good. 
 
Like, I never liked ESO. was never interested in it. And honestly thought it would go F2P eventually. Even so I wasnt stalking ESO forums, reddit, facebook pages talking about how fail the game is. It really gets under my skin more than I wish it did.

If Carbine starts selling flying mounts while telling people they will consider adding the ability to use them you will see just how entitled this community is haha.
 
Actually this would be more like Carbine taking hoverboards out of the game after including one in the deluxe edition as a selling point.

Besides....this game doesn't have flying. 
----
			im all for wow finally being put out of its misery and letting other better games take the front. but targeting a bunch of players that want flying mounts may not be the target audience for WS

There is a reason for this though...

I get what a lot of you are thinking this game doesn't have flying, well it doesn't need to have flying to be a great game. Whining and childish? no blizzard has been pulling strings with the entire community since the start of the expansion( even before that.) A lot of them, including myself are done with this Corporate BS.
 
Honestly thithe perfect time for them to reach out, and I see from some of these posts that they already have. and good on them.

WoW DOES have flying though, and a lot of people loved it - not to mention the tons of flying mounts we have that are now stuf on the ground (My poor netherdrake will never see the sky again). 
 
I love WS not having flying, because WS encourages exploring and discovery and back-tracking in the "right way" while WoW's "discovery" is looting some random thing up on a cliff that gives 20 garrison resources.
 
The games and their exploration are very different - that's why people are a bit peeved over no-flying in WoW.  It's really just a huge pain to navigate the world and hear them chant about "oh it ruins quests!" when it was never a problem before (minus cata, when they made flying available pre- level cap).
 
And that's why I've been loving WS so much more than WoW right now.  Exploring and searching for story is so much more rewarding.  I can poke around in some dark corner of a zone and find a little piece of story or interesting data cube and learn a little more about nexus.  In WoW you get... very very little.  you might get like - "here's a statue".  One feels rewarding, the other you can almost ignore.
 
Maybe that's me.  WoW this x-pack has been horrendous (and not b/c of flying).  If it's not fixed for next x-pack and WS continues to be as good as it is now, I'll be making a full switch over to this wonderful game. 
 
I've also been trying my best to inspire and hook my friends :P I pop open my stream every so often and show them cool housing plots or nifty zones.  I streamed OMNIcore for my friend who isn't lvl cap yet and they're so much more excited about the game now.  We have the power of change as well!!

A reason for hating on a game that much?

Pretty sure their problem with the removal of flying is that there's a massively long list of collected items which cost hundreds of thousands of gold and many, many hours which are suddenly now utterly useless to you.
 
Flying I think isn't the appeal to everyone pissed, it's taking out a promoted feature that people have invested serious time into.

Espers should get a flying/levitating spell-- and NO ONE ELSE CAN DO IT. Make it special.
 
I used to love playing my metaphysicist in Anarchy Online because, early on anyway, it was the most pain in the ass class to play, but if you stuck it out, you'd eventually get flight.

and I disagree that it is a good time to advertise or push WIldstar in anyway. first they need to fix the damn server performance.

There, are not any other better MMO's. 
 
there are MMO's which have better features or cater better to particular markets or have better graphics but there is not one, except WoW that is the complete package offering something to everyone along with a hugely popular IP.

I don't think there are very many people quitting WoW over the lack of flying.  Its not a game breaking feature.  It doesn't affect a significant amount of the actual gameplay.
 
People are quitting WoW because 10 years in it has gotten stale.  I wish people would recognize that and stop blaming flying for all the sub losses.  It may be one factor - but it is one of MANY factors that have contributed to Azeroth losing its charm.  No matter how many coats of paint you put on WoW, it is still more or less the same basic game it was years ago.  Eventually people will move on.
 
I just rejoined Wildstar a few days ago after not playing since launch.  It is a lot better than it was (at least on low levels so far), and I really like the world and character of the game.  Its been a couple years since I've really gotten into an MMO, and I hope to stick with this one for a while.
 
I think there is potential for WS to get some of WoW's sub losses - but let's let the babies quitting over no flying go to another game and not wreck this community.

			I quit WoW before even started :P

Why is WoW popular? Because everyone plays it!
Why does everyone play it? Because it's hugely popular!!!
 
I bet a lot of people are just still in WoW because all their friends and guildies are there. It's like facebook, where you go to meet your buddies and to pass the time you play Farmville 2 together.
 
Unless WoW gets MySpace'd somehow it'll be around forever.
