  Another part in my mind would be estate taxes. If generational wealth wasn’t as impactful on our lives then UBI could serve a bigger purpose. If the playing field were more level for everyone, then hate or fear couldn’t errode it as easily. It’s not something we can see in a lifetime, but I hope that I can see us aiming at a useful target while I am still around.

  Your analogy and argument is very well organized so I wonder how you think universal basic income could mitigate the negative impacts of generational wealth/poverty? In my mind, it is part of a solution to many social issues but I’m still learning. I know there are arguments that capitalism will just buffer against any implementation but I’m still forming my opinions.

  I’m excited for flying mount updrafts and adventures but a little worried that mounting in combat will be awkward for the game.

  There must be some new reason they want us to be able to get on a flying mount in combat but it’s odd that this doesn’t extend to other mounts and I also wonder if it will remove flavor from other parts of the game by making the choice to get into combat a bit more trivial. I’m just not sure about that one until I get my hands on it.

  Right now if you choose to solo a champ or low man a group event there can be a trade off by choosing to disengage. That’s totally gone if you can decide to fly away whenever you want.
