Easy says the armchair developer lol
Uh huh. While I don’t know their code specifically - anything is possible. Anyone that thinks otherwise doesn’t belong in this field.
It’s silly we have to put up with ridiculous bugs. Blizzard fired the QA team a long while back and it shows. Players are testers. And in this case, if you hit one of these egregious bugs, you pay the ultimate price.
Call me whatever you want; arm chair developer isn’t bad. I usually sit in a very nice comfy chair when I write software so maybe that term is endearing? 
I’ve had it happen to me two or three times, however, the last time I remember was in OG WotLK.
Explain how you use items when you are disconnected…
I’ll wait…
The fix is actually very simple.
Make flight paths give you a slowfall when you dismount the flight path. Removed by touching land. Similar to how the dalaran dismount works when you go over dalaran in wotlkc.
Its a simple fix.
No it wont save you if you are lvl 10 and get dismounted into a lvl 50 zone, but its a fix that fixes most of the issues caused by this bug and cannot really be exploited in terms of avoiding death.

only when you log back in do you start falling 
if you love slow fall so much become an engineer and wear a parachute cloak every time you take a flight path
Yeah the add-on appeals are also completely corrupt and you can reset the death flag in the lua file so it’s pretty much meaningless because there’s no way to verify people haven’t actually died and gamed the system in multiple different ways.

I haven’t DC on a flight in this game yet, but, I have logged out while flying in all of the other modes and have always still been flying when I logged back in, so I don’t understand why Blizz would killl you on purpose when you DC, which is actually the same as logging off, or am I just dreaming?
It happens but very rarely. But since this forum gets like 5 new posts per day and they’re disproportionately people whining it seems like a bigger problem than it is, when it’s like a 1/100,000 event.
I was not logged out… while on the flight point I was reading some email sipping my coffee and then suddenly no gryphon and my druid is now dead.
I have zero issues with hard core deaths that result from my mistakes or even if I disconnect but not for flight paths and falling through the world. those are wholly beyond any player control

Its not about loving slowfall. Its about a reasonable quick fix for a bug that blizzard refuses to properly fix properly.
This fix would take an if then clause attached to the flight paths mounted, dismounting coding. 5-10 minutes of work for a good developer as all the assets are aleady available.
Properly fixing this bug could take hours of work depending on a multitude of factors, the quick fix is a few minutes of work.

The two or three times it happened to me I was a stain on the landscape when I logged in.

You won’t hear me crying about it.
But you did cry about it
And yet there are causes of death that should be fixed/mitigated.
If you had 1/100,000 chance of just dieing on the use of hearthstone, it should be fixed to not do that.
This death by falling is being caused by layering issues, which were not present in actual vanilla. Its a bug and should get some forum of fix. Im not going to argue people should get their already dead characters revived.

You want to point out where I was crying?
Are you, perhaps, referring to where I corrected your factual error?
Stating the truth to correct the spread of misinformation, is not, in fact, crying.
HTH
