Besides the annoying fact that you obviously can not fly forever, I have personally found the controls while flying increasingly frustrating to manage at times as character control seems really clunky. As for death and wipe recovery, in wow gold you basically appear as a ghost at a graveyard and run back to your body. Well, in Aion when you die, you can either be rezzed before releasing or opt to release to your last bind point (which can be extremely far) and have to traverse all the way back to where you died via running or a long route of flights. I really think NCsoft needs to improve methods of travel if they want to win over a significant playerbase for their North American release.

Next, there is the UI. As anyone playing wow gold knows, the UI in Warcraft is incredibly customizable with literally hundreds of thousands of mods out there to make your game look and play exactly how you want it. As for Aion, despite being released in Asia for a while now, there are very few (comparatively) mods available and much more limited UI functions in the game. For example, probably the most annoying thing that I can not figure out is how (if it is even possible) to bind my left click button in order to pan the camera in Aion like I can in WoW Gold with it. The chat functions are also really annoying at times with such quirks as forcing you to type out /legion to talk in guild chat, /group (full words only) to type in party chat, etc etc. The core of the Wow  Gold UI is there but there is so much more that NCsoft could have done with it. Perhaps I am just not informed of a huge UI database for Aion somewhere, but the game loses a lot of points in my book for lack of available customization with the UI and game settings in general.
