Shadowlands
Gamepad Support and Accessibility in World of Warcraft

Artisan Riding Skill Removed in Shadowlands
The second highest rank of riding on live, the 280% flight speed Artisan Riding, has been removed in the latest Shadowlands build. Along with the other leveling changes, this means characters will effectively skip the 280% movespeed training, saving a significant amount of gold in the process - a very nice quality of life change, especially considering the gap between Expert and Master Riding will only last 10 levels.
