If you’re interested in flying in Battle as soon as possible it’s a good idea to take full advantage of the currently active Impressive Influence reputation buff before it goes away in the middle of May.

But with BFA specifically excluded from Blizzard’s announcement, they may want new players - the only ones who will be required to level through BFA - to have to explore the world on foot before taking to the skies. Will we see the Battle Pathfinder achievement changed like the other two when the next expansion comes out? It does have a mount with it, so there would still be a reason for players to go back and get it done if they wanted the Wonderwing 2.0. I hope that there’s a plan in place for making that no longer necessary for new players. Better yet, it’s red - everyone knows that the red ones go faster! Legion’s Pathfinder achievement will increase your mounted speed while you’re on the continent, thus actually making the red ones (and all of the other colors) go faster! Draenor Pathfinder will let you ride on the Soaring Skyterror, one of the gorgeous two-headed chimera mounts from Warlords.

The achievements aren’t going anywhere as both of them have other rewards tied to them.
