I use FPs if I’m in a hurry or if I need to AFK. If I fly myself it’s because I want to pick herbs or fish on the way.
Yes, it’s the easiest way to travel
Yes, I’m lazy.
I do not, i enjoy the scenery a lot and i do not enjoy auto pilot. I cant tell you how many times i take a flight lath and tab out of wow only to make my way back to the game 15 minutes later. Not having flying is extremely immersion breaking and bad for the game.
I certainly do. If I’m feeling tired, I even use my flight whistle.
Conversely, I also use my ground mount when the occasion calls for it. Such as I’m not traversing a long distance, and/or need to see something on the ground.
I like my mounts. I still use my Strider, Fox, and Hippogryph.
Edited to add: although it is getting a pain to have to click my cancelaura button for all but my Strider - and the Hippogryph becomes unsettled sometimes, and is actually hovering, which makes it doubly hard to take off in a realistic manner. I dislike the new system, it makes mount usage onerous.

If it’s a long flight, yes. Its still faster in the long run, for long flights. Cept when they go every single way cept the way your destination is for 20 minutes.
I sometimes still use them when the FP is reasonably close to my destination and I don’t want to have to pay full attention to the trip. (Usually because I want to AFK for some reason while traveling.)
Yes! I use flight paths to get to a specific zone faster!
So once I get to the place I fly by myself, instead of crawling over hills and around boulders, boring mobs or landforms that take me precious minutes to the place of interest!
I haven’t use flight paths since I unlocked flying. I prefer being in control of my character.
Sometimes. Almost allways in the case of mechagon.
My alts on Nazjatar I tend to not collect fp’s as it means I can whistle to the base.
Ironically I just decided to look at the forums while I take a flight path instead of manually flying where i need to go.
Yes. I use them when i have to go do something. Still very handy.
I’ve noticed the FP’s go faster then when I’m flying even with maxxed flying so when I’m near a flight point or think it’s convenient, I’ll definitely opt for the flight master instead of flying.
They’re quicker, so yes.

I tested with 310 flight Boralus to Mechagon is 20-25 sec slower than flight master. Its almost a strait line there too, other than gettin north to SSV. I haven’t bothered timing anything else closer, but I’m willing to bet any flight path with twists and turns is gonna be slower than ‘as the crow flies’.
Same. If I’m all the way across the zone I’ll just hope on a flight point and go do something right quick.
Of course! How else am I gonna get food cooked, laundry folded, hands washed and all the afk activities. Flight paths save my normal life.
Yep. Particularly if it is long distance. I can get underway and have a bio break without ending up dead in the ocean a thousand miles from shore.
I will if I am trying to RL and play in spare time.
Sure, if I want to get a beer.
