Blizzard, dragon flight is a cool idea, but

2 things:

  1. Those puzzles are, and always have been, a gimmick. They are a short term one-and-done activity. Designing an entire expansion around those kinds of activities is why they have consistently lost subscribers since WoD. These kinds of mechanics wear out their welcome very quickly.

  2. There is no reason, none whatsoever, for why the puzzles can’t be segregated mechanically from the normal travel just as they have been in the past during WoD and Legion. Whether it is initiating a puzzle by speaking to an NPC or entering a special instanced area, there are ways to preserve the integrity of the puzzle without interrupting the rest of the traversal mechanics.
