World of Warcraftis best known for its expansive world, with countless amounts of problem-ridden zones to explore. Riding on flying mounts is the best option to make it from point A to point B, and your style of flying is completely up to you.

If you prefer soaring through the sky at high speeds, then skyriding is the style for you. If you prefer the predictability of setting your mouse down and letting your mount do the work, then you should opt for the steady flight style. Luckily, switching between the two is easy.
